corinne_perkins @corinne_perkinsThe imprint of French President Emmanuel Macron's thumb can be seen across the back of Trump's hand after they shook hands at the G7. Great frame from @LeahMillis

That may be how you deal with a bully.

That's Dirty Donny's pornhand, if I'm not mistaken. The one he uses to GRAB women in the crotch. So if that's the case, one might fairly conclude that Karma is at work in the service of justice.

Although, Mrs almost Dr CPU says edema would be pitted. She posits some kind of circulation problem.

(115,693 posts)Press down hard on your own hand and see if it leaves a mark like that that lasts even a second. Normally any pressure marks should disappear almost instantly, way too fast to be photographed. Even though Dr. Ronny said Spanky would live to be 200 because he was so extraordinarily healthy, that mark can't be a good sign - poor circulation, maybe.
Or maybe it is.
Hugin
(33,144 posts)I tried it a few minutes ago after I first saw this photo and my mark was actually a little more red for a few seconds until it faded. Not long enough to be caught by a camera, tho.

(146,308 posts)I've had many people try that on me, off and on during my life. They come at you with palm down, or go for a grip that lets them smash your knuckles. After a few times, I learned. When someone held out their hand palm down, I just looked them in the eye and refused to accept their handshake until they turned their hand to make a more equal greeting. Hand crushers got a different look that said, "WTF? Why are you attempting to dominate me?"
Trump has met his match out there, now. People who become heads of state know the symptoms of someone going in for dominance, and know how to turn the tables on them. Macron gave Trump a hand crusher. Trump has small hands, making that fairly easy.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,693 posts)which is another, more obvious dominance maneuver. Trudeau anticipated and overcame that move in a previous meeting, but I recall he hauled on Gorsuch so hard he nearly yanked him off his feet. It seems to be a thing he tries on everyone, but people are onto him now and it's not working as well.

bigtree
(85,996 posts)...this post has all the info you need.
It has the quote, the pic, and a link to where you can find the original of both. It even has the twitter address of the photographer.
I've found, after repeated attempts to accommodate complaints about tweets, that it's more important that it can be viewed by all (including those at work with restricted access to twitter), and that links are provided to the SOURCE and SUBJECT of the post.
There really isn't a way to please and accommodate 'all.'
lunatica
(53,410 posts)There is a good reason to post them just like posting you tube videos.
bigtree
(85,996 posts)...is the one where folks can't see twitter posts at work.
That's why I break down posts into pics and subject.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)I figured out how it works to post them directly by clicking on the obvious link or links within them. Then I could read the entire thread. A little exploration opens many doors! You just have to be curious.
bigtree
(85,996 posts)...you can read the tweets without the comments.
It's rough in there sometimes.
btw, I put the link to the twitter post in the op:
twitter.com/corinne_perkins/status/1005236740360110081
I just didn't make it clickable, because it would be repetitive.
Just copy and paste into your browser and you'll be right in there.
