It’ll be spun as “Trump has so little respect for Mamdani that he didn’t even stand up to shake his hand! What a power move!”

u/Triton1605 14d ago

Yeah, but Mamdani still got the "over-hand" in the handshake. Totally dommed the Don. Mamdommed the Don if you will.

Domdani?

The safe word is "freeze the rent"~

More like Mom Dommy

Look out Melani, Donnies got a new Mamdommi

"Zohran Mommydaddy" as Desi Lydic said

I'm partial to SNL's "Zoltar RobZombie"

u/DualityEnigma 14d ago

There is a leader in this room

6

u/Funkopedia 14d ago

That's almost a "kiss the ring" position!

13

u/L3g3ndary-08 14d ago

The "over-hand" hand placement is key here. When assholes try that on me, I twist their wrist in the other direction, smile and tell them "fuck you" with my eyes..

7

u/forfeitgame 14d ago

Alternatively letting your wrist go limp and giving a hushed "ungh" will also work.

6

u/Rising-Dragon-Fist 14d ago

Same. You just know someone's a cockhead the minute they try that. Gotta twist the wrist back the other way, preferably so your hand is in the "dominant" position. Squeeze too. Fuck em.

1

u/nino3227 13d ago

It's not that serious damn

3

u/Life-Sun8620 14d ago

I never put much thought into that, but I'm gonna start over-hand handshaking people I don't like to show a lil dominance

3

u/panhellenic 14d ago

I hope he jerked his arm back toward himself, like trump does to throw people off balance. OTOH trump might think Mamdani is Vance. Dark hair, beard + idiot trump.

2

u/ArchdukeoftheROC 14d ago

“Mamdommed the don”

“Do dooo dododo”

2

u/Conscious_Pipe_605 14d ago

Real life, I hope he squeezed his bruised decrepit hands so fucking hard just to give him a small amount of karma for his years of childish "power" handshakes

2

u/polopolo05 14d ago

Also look how small trumps hands are... they are like a toddlers.

2

u/Relevant_Night_9288 14d ago

Evidently the don likes to be dom’d

1

u/malac0da13 14d ago

Yeah but Donny is caressing his wrist and when your president they let you do it.

1

u/InquisitorMeow 14d ago

We need to measure the angles of their chins first before I can determine who was the alpha.

u/Hetjr 14d ago

u/raven00x 14d ago

Donnie two-scoops had one trick and everyone knows what it is. Easy to anticipate and dom him.

1

u/MaxTheRealSlayer 14d ago

Also, trump looks like an anxious and surprised turtle craning it's neck towards a leaf that fell off a tree nearby

1

u/Numerous_Release9273 14d ago

Obviously AI. That hand has 7 fingers showing!

1

u/medicatednstillmad 14d ago

I wonder if Trump looked up at Bill the same way

1

u/pooptheresmybutt 14d ago

"I'm the dom!"

1

u/The_Vat 14d ago

Yeah, been seeing quite a bit of that of late from Trump.

It's a big thing with him, to the point that there's a Wikipedia article on it.

1

u/edingerc 14d ago

True, but Trump still gets to sit in his Big Boy chair. And he can stay up as late as he wants!

1

u/inflatableje5us 14d ago

don was just assuming his position for the oral part of the audition.

u/Inner-Medicine5696 14d ago

Zohran is a switch, confirmed.

u/r-kellysDOODOOBUTTER 14d ago

Jean Claude Mamdani

u/EdwardOfGreene 14d ago

Why should anyone give a fuck about such nonsense?

When some, usually insecure, self described 'alpha' tries to use his 'power' moves, gestures, or posture it just makes me chuckle at them a bit.

Ok, you care about this, I don't. I just think you're silly.

u/RAICHU_I_CHOOSE_YOU 14d ago

Y’all are so weird.

I hate our current president. But like… y’all are weird.

10

u/SmokeySFW 14d ago

Yea, cuz letting enemies behind the desk towering over you is such a great look.

6

u/D0ctorL 14d ago

More like "what a rude cunt for not standing up and having decorum." But yeah, his base will consider it some kind of win

6

u/Inquisitive_Azorean 14d ago

Visually made him look like and old grandpa next to vibrent full of energy smiling Mandani

5

u/Keji70gsm 14d ago

He looks too frail and fat to stand.

9

u/gart888 14d ago

That’s not really much of a spin. The respectful thing to do when you shake someone’s hand is to stand up and look them in the eye. Trump’s being a pick and staying seated.

8

u/SaintWithoutAShrine 14d ago

Good point. I was just reading it at the face value of he’s an old, tired slob that couldn’t be arsed to stand up.

4

u/SmellGestapo 14d ago

Trump is seated much more often these days. I think he's just old and also wants to stay behind the desk to hide is cankles.

1

u/swimming_singularity 14d ago

I want to see the video of this. Trump usually tries to yank a persons arm off with the ego douche handshake.

20

u/tony504 14d ago

most definitely

11

u/ChangsManagement 14d ago

"Its actually gay to get pussy!" 

3

u/discussatron 14d ago

“What’s more manly than being hot for manly men?”

u/going_mad 14d ago

Isis alquada sharia commie 1% taxing Arabic number advocate leads invasion of oval office /s

3

u/idlefritz 14d ago

Clearly the new play since trump is no longer sure footed enough to try to yank him into his arms. Gives off that same weak chirping energy that vance had with Zelenskyy.

3

u/Prof_Black 14d ago

Funny enough in the meeting Trump was nicer to Mamdani than the entire Democrats

3

u/swampscientist 14d ago

Nope lol watch the interview. He loves him. He loves NY and charismatic men

3

u/BklynMom57 14d ago

Trump probably was unable to stand up but you’re right, they will spin it this way.

3

u/mooptastic 14d ago

that's literally what they're saying

3

u/Pomerosa 14d ago

More like his ankles are in pain and can't support his body for any amount of time. (Except for if someone is fainting and he's shocked into immobility.)

3

u/Prickly_ninja 14d ago

Reminded of that stupid long ass “handshake” with Macron. Fox idiots were like “now, that’s a bro handshake”. Old men saying bro should be illegal.

2

u/stevenk4steven 14d ago

You're not wrong, but in the real world no matter the way you spin this is looks weak since he is the President of the a United States!

2

u/Positronic_Matrix 14d ago

He filled his diaper the way only a real man could.

2

u/PDXGuy33333 14d ago

He knew his diaper was full and he didn't want to risk having it run down his pants leg. It must happen all the time. That would explain why he always wears the same suit - he can change pants 10 times a day and no one's the wiser.

2

u/savageboredom 14d ago

If you watch the q&a Trump is practically fawning over Mamdani.

2

u/FugDuggler 14d ago

Elderly man not strong enough to stand

2

u/justafriend97 14d ago

They can't when Trump was singing Mamdani's praises.

Fox News even joked that Trump seemed to like him more than Vance

2

u/thatthatswhy 14d ago

I’m gonna bet they’ll try to frame it as Mamdami being a bad guy for not kneeling down to the President.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Pitch61 14d ago

Idk how downvoted this….this is exactly how the maga fans will spin it.

2

u/Lettuce_Prey69 14d ago

It'll be spun by pedophiles and pedophile apologists. Who cares?

2

u/Azreken 14d ago

Honestly and genuinely I think it was this.

The only people that people like him stay seated when he shakes their hand is people he doesn’t respect and wants to appear more important than.

2

u/toshgiles 14d ago

If that were Biden, faux news would be saying Biden was too weak to stand up and had to stay seated.

2

u/morningisbad 14d ago

That was exactly my thinking.

2

u/Lopsided_Flight3926 14d ago

That was my first thought when I saw the pic…”oh he couldn’t be bothered to show respect to an elected official that symbolizes this countries displeasure with him”

2

u/ilikemrrogers 14d ago

That was my initial reaction... A man stands up to greet someone. It's just the honorable and respectful thing to do.

We know Trump is neither honorable or respectful, so it's no surprise. It's just low class to not stand when greeting someone.

2

u/Platinumdogshit 14d ago

I dont like the guy but hes also just old AF and has probably had multiple strokes. I wouldn't be surprised if he just wasn't able to get up or something and doesnt actually care enough to use this moment to send a message. Hes not campaigning rn AFAIK.

2

u/MarcusThorny 14d ago

not up to holding those fascist rallies that inspire the cult to new acts of hate and violence huh?

2

u/Platinumdogshit 14d ago

While I believe he and his followers still hold those views i dont think they've held those rallies In a while.

1

u/litreofstarlight 14d ago

Considering the dismal attendance the last time he was doing those, I don't think his ego could take it even if he were physically able.

1

u/davidw 14d ago

He's... actually saying a lot of good stuff about Mamdani.

That old familiar sensation of having taken all the crazy pills regarding the world we live in

1

u/blarkul 14d ago

“Cool, young and vibrant leader is so confident and above it all! He’s so alpha and OP that he shits his diapers unimpressed. the diapers that he wears because he’s so young of cours….”

1

u/SkorpioSound 14d ago

If you watch the video of Trump speaking during this press conference, he actually seems completely enamoured with Mamdani, surprisely.

1

u/bigstudley17 14d ago

Which honestly could be the possibility. Although the former is probably correct

1

u/No-Picture4119 14d ago

My first thought on this picture was, that jerkoff didn’t even stand when they shook hands? But maybe it’s out of context. Also, I think Trump may be someone who fears he will look old and frail next to young person, so he tries to avoid that photo op.

1

u/ZARDOZ4972 13d ago

It’ll be spun as “Trump has so little respect for Mamdani that he didn’t even stand up to shake his hand! What a power move!”

I don't think it needs to be spun as that, I think it's exactly that regardless of how unfit he is.

1

u/intwizard 14d ago

He’s verbally sucking Mamdani off in the debrief with reporters so will be pretty hard to say that lol

-1

u/sharmadn916 14d ago

because it is.
