'Beta male': Internet amused as Newsom puts Trump 'instantly in his place'
The internet intently watched as Gov. Gavin Newsom walked onto the tarmac as President Donald Trump arrived in California on Friday afternoon to tour the devastation left by the Los Angeles wildfires.Newsom and Trump played nice for the cameras despite a fraught relationship in which Trump has repea...
My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.
Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.
Are Melania and the officer behind her slightly leaning too? I can't tell if it's an optical illusion or some coordinated effort to hide Trump's real lean by matching him.
Officer I dunno, but Melania is standing straight with one leg behind her. Look at the other leg - the on in the back of the photo. It's straight.
Don't visit x, here's the video:
Ty
Thank you!
Why is Trump falling ontop of him?
My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.
For once, I'd love to see someone crush his little hand when he tries that shit. It is such a childish and dickish move.
I remember when assholes would try that kind of thing in elementary school. Some people - like donvict - never grow the hell up.
Yea, just keep squeezing harder and harder
It takes a long time for cracked metacarpals to heal.
That fucking lean is crazy
The only way he could be leaning that far forward is if his center of gravity is much lower and further back than his massive gut. The only way I can think that he's could achieve this is with a MASSIVE titanium butt plug shoved up his ass. I'm talking like 80+ pounds.
What about a very full diaper?
It's the dementia lean probably

Dementia is a much more likely cause
Fuckin smooth criminal move. MJ is rolling.
Probably on H lmfao
Looks like Trump's wearing those Michael Jackson patented stage shoes that let him lean really far
It's dementia
A smoothbrained criminal.
Donnie, are you okay?
So, Donnie are you okay?
Are you okay, Donnie?
He's wearing high heels, heel lifts, a corset and the hat to appear at least a couple inches taller. He's got to be at least 6-7in shorter than Newsom
Except trump leans far to the right. badum tss
What’s up with the weird lean?
That's what happens when you wear giant lifts in your shoes because you're a little bitch obsessed about your height.
He does it to try and hide his girthy belly. He thinks it makes him look more powerful. But like everything he does, it just makes him look weak and pathetic.
Yeah, it’s definitely to make it look like he’s not as fat as he is for cameras only taking pictures of him head on.
I always thought it was because he's fat, so he leans forward to hide his huge belly. Works pretty well from the front where most pictures of him are taken.
He does it a lot, actually. I'm fairly convinced it's a sign that he has a disorder of some sort as discussed in this salon article from 2020.
"While most frequently observed in Parkinson's Disease, the bent posture so evident in Trump may also be seen in Alzheimer's Dementia, movement disorders of the basal ganglia, and as the side effect of certain medications," Cytowic continued. "Also noted are the sudden, jerking movements of Trump's right arm. Since they occur only on one side, the prefix "hemi" is applied, while "ballistic" means sudden or flinging in the manner of a projectile. Trump's hemiballistic arm movements are evident in news clips from Memorial Day (also here via C-Span) at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as are his uncontrolled swaying and forward tilt. He is seen to grab his wayward arm with the left one in an effort to keep it under control."
Youtube video here. You can see he stands with the same kind of lean (starting about 0:30) and keeps wobbling the whole time. The wobble gets very pronounced after he walks up to the wreath (around the 2:15 mark). As for the arm movements described above, you can see some good examples starting after the 4:15 mark. There's also an earlier point at the 2:28 mark where you can see him suddenly clench his left hand on his right wrist as if to hold it in place.
I really think the man is not well and he is basically a puppet for the far-right and all those billionaires.
Couldn't happen to a worse person. Same as Reagan and his alzheimers. Old Nancy throated everyone around to keep Reagan. Don't think Melanie cares. Elon giving Vance fresh couches everyday I guess.
I just don't see any of this. I think he said and done so many horrible things. I think his only interest is in getting attention, regardless of what for, and regardless if his actions harm others and the US. It wouldn't surprise me if at age 78 he has some medical problems and dementia, but I don't see these subtle signs in the video.
Judging by the (presumably) vertical structures in the distance, the photo is tilted 4–5 degrees CCW.
Some of it is certainly the camera angle and perspective. Everyone except Newsom seems to have a lean.
However, you can also see pretty easily that trump's lean is far more pronounced. It's also not the first time it's come up. Trump's had a noticeable forward lean for years.
‘You were there for us for covid’, haha Newsome really knows how to get under his skin.
I don't see the video about handshake in the article, so here is one I found: https://youtu.be/qn7q0k1yY3s
It'd be funny if someone were to just mash his hand downward with their other hand when he's doing that stupid handshake game of his.
Sorry, yeah, they link to a tweet which had the video. My bad not being clear.
You mentioned the link twice now.
Would have been awfully nice if you provided the link too, cause there are dozens of links in the article.
Where can I make a bet that a politician is going to be assasinated?
Vegas I am sure.
Lip readers please help me
Haha.
Immediately reminded me of a photo of Eric Schmidt (former Google scumbag CEO who said that if you had nothing to hide, you had no privacy concerns) and Steve Jobs. They were photographed at a coffee shop and Schmidt was analyzed to be in the weaker position by body language.
But leaning forward in heals (Newsome is in sneakers) is what a strongman does, go trump! /s
I'd love to see him try this stupid lean thing, lose balance, and just face plant.
Bonus if it kills him.
About how far away is that plane from that hill over there off the tarmac?
Just looks like a good view y'know.
Great View
i see the diaper's capped in gang colors again.
Sorry, this content is not available in your region.
i read the article and there is no transcript or summary of their conversation.
It's generous to call that an article. Just a bunch of "some folks said on X" quotes. Doesn't really belong in this community IMHO
Trump wishes he was a smooth criminal
Melania out heeyuh lookin' like Sarah Connor.
Sarah Connor / Linda Hamilton would crumple that cheap gold-digging narcissists ass like a tin can.
She wishes
