The Left Handed Shake: Those that give a left-handed handshake are seen as at the very least a little strange and at the most as down-right insulting. To some people its as bad as spitting in their face. Want to know why? In some cultures, you wipe your backside with your left hand. In many western cultures this is seen as a sign of complete disrespect to the other person so why would you do it in the first place.

FWIW
(Exceptions, of course, such as for the disabled (R. Dole) and Boy Scouts. Neither of which apply.)
I don’t think it was lefthanded. It appears it was some kind of reverse photo.
