Ruth Marcus on Trump-Macron Handshake: ‘Classic Dominance Ritual But It Also Feel Very Juvenile’

‘It’s almost impossible to imagine what the female leader equivalent of this might be’

EXCERPT:

MARCUS: "Well you know, and it’s not just the handshake. Though the handshake is fascinating and I can’t wait to read Sam’s piece, but it’s the -- the -- the shoulder shoving and getting your way to the front and sort of chest puffing and everything else that goes along with it. And it’s just this classic dominance ritual but it also feels very juvenile to me."
