brutality as Kim Jung does. I have always said they would like each other because they want the same thing.

First good move - camera awareness.

Trump threw the right hand out - Kim took it for the shake.

This allowed Trump to use the old "shoulder grab" on the left side - camera side.

Plus Trump had the "right this way" gesture - and Kim followed.

Sorry - Win: Trump

That's about all the preparation that his team could convince him to do. He wanted to 'wing' everything else.

Protocol on appropriate behavior, language, gestures, etc for meeting with someone of another culture. No matter how much we dislike this meeting and what tRump is planning to get from it, the typical routine would be to brief the President on cultural no-nos. I think without question, tRump would not think any of that is necessary because he just “knows” what to do. 😳😩😵
