"“The Final Grip: Trump's Pull Vs XI's Anchor,” reads the chyron as host Laura Ingraham and commentator Raymond Arroyo discussed whether or not Xi “dominated” the handshake. Arroyo praised Trump for giving Xi's hand a small “swat” with his left hand to “diminish” Xi's “dominant move at the top” as the pair engaged in what Fox also titled the “Handshake Showdown.”"
"“Trump is very aware in these settings... of how those images define these historic moments,” Arroyo claimed, saying Trump engaged in “all the dominant moves to counter Xi,” including patting him on the shoulder. Ingraham agreed, saying Trump “looked really relaxed” and “didn't seem at all tight.”"
"Many found the segment “pathetic” and “embarrassing” and a reminder of the focus on so-called “masculinity” coming from the Republican party and especially the Trump administration. We've officially reached the stage of political media where grown adults are breaking down handshakes like it's ESPN analyzing fight footage. “Notice the subtle wrist swat here” man please stand up."
