We simply can’t get over Donald Trump’s weird handshake with Japan PM Shinzo Abe, and that eye-roll

When Trump finally let go of his hands, the 62-year-old rolled his eyes to show his relief right after breaking the “uncomfortable” eye-contact with him. Abe’s reaction to Trump’s weird behaviour was priceless and the shutterbugs perfectly captured it from different angles.

Not just that, a Twitter user even translated the dialogue in the video when Trump asked Abe what the photographers were saying. Abe replied, “Look at me.” Not the photographers, but Trump looked at Abe instead!

“A working dinner tonight with Prime Minister Abe of Japan, and his representatives, at the Winter White House (Mar-a-Lago). Very good talks!” Trump tweeted after his meeting with Abe.

But, Twitterati had already set social media platforms ablaze with hilarious interpretations of the “handshake” and the “eye-roll”.

Here is the entire incident of the “weird handshake”:

If you couldn’t make out the words:

Trump asks Abe what a Japanese photographer was saying and Abe translates: “Please look at me.”

Trump looks at Abe.

He’s so dumb, guys.

Watch the video from a different angle that Trump posted:

Awkward, but well handled by the PM: My respect for Shinzo Abe just increased considerably. https://t.co/wc2iuL4fOE

In Oval Office, POTUS told Japanese PM Abe he had “strong hands.”
