Good for her, but it looks like she acquiesced and shook his hand after Melania's. But only for an instant.

Charles, she clearly did not see his hand in the video. She was already extending her hand, making eye contact with and walking towards the first lady before Trump even finished shaking the Polish President's hand. Sure, Trump looked upset, but you are clearly exaggerating when you say she "denied him".

@2, i really need another camera angle. i tried to find one but nothing. what have for sure is trump's clear disappointment.

what we have...

@2
The velocity at which she passed in front of him is the real clue.

Besides, why would she think she didn't need to shake his hand? European manners alone, if not diplomatic protocol, would demand it.

This was clearly an act of war.

@2, i changed the headline. it's more accurate and sounds more delicious.

@2: This post is basically 100% projection, so it is what it is.

If you slow-frame through the video clip it's clear she's looking directly at IL DOUCHE's tiny little paw as he shakes her husband's hand and releases his patented mano-a-mano death grip. She's still glancing down as she crosses in front of her husband and the little orange paw begins to come up towards her, at which point there appears to be a brief moment of eye contact between them as she extends her own hand, followed by a slight tilt of her head as she averts her gaze and steps past to shake the hand of Mrs. IL DOUCHE instead.

Admittedly, it all happens very quickly, and from this angle one can't be certain, but that slight open-mouthed gape followed by the thin-lipped pout would appear to indicate he knows he's just been royally - and quite deliberately - dissed.

@10:

Were you home schooled or something? "Gobuating)" isn't a word, perhaps you meant "bloviating"? Also, countries (Poland, Russia), titles (Patriot), sunames (Putin), and city/street names (Jerusalem) are capitalized, as are the first words in sentences. I'm surprised you were able to correctly use commas and periods.

@7

You really hate it when people diss this president, don't you?

@11 - are you high? Neither of your comments actually say anything intelligible...

Sorry Comte, was speaking to pansack. I quite like your input generally;)

@12: Nope, Trump is a moronic rube who has paper thin skin. He looks like someone rolled a damp cheet-o through a barber shop.

I just thought the obvious and tortured projection from Mudede was laughably pathetic. Mudede is a misogynist, and it does not surprise me that he would assume this woman could cause other men such violent rage.

I actually found out today that it is considered quite rude in Poland for a man to extend his hand for a shake to a woman unless she offers first. Trump's team should probably have warned him of this, but that cultural embarrassment is on him as a leader Perhaps the First Lady was trying to spare him the gaffe, or was not expecting it due to her cultural norms.

Neogoblinism is indeed #now, but it's not particularly goog.

@16: Why do you say he's a misogynist? There's plenty of negative things I could list, but I've never seen any evidence of misogyny (that I can recall).

I'm also curious where you found the bit about Polish social cues regarding handshakes.

Jesus comte, are you the retard police? Let a mongo get his goblin on in without the spellcheck. It's riveting stuff.

@mtn beaver...neogoblinism is my new favorite word. Should petition Mudede to do a three part series about its effect on the forgotten troll community.

Um WOW?????
I read this yesterday and watched the clip and noted Charles' warnings about Melania being in danger....

......only to see today that Melania 'can't' leave her hotel room because of security considerations.

Very impressive, Charles.

@16 - Your plausible deniability is cute, but your actions speak otherwise.

@21 - Look for the sunglasess on the way back to AF1.
