We've seen the ridiculous handshakes...
We've seen the "Oh, are you still here" moments...
So what's it going to be with Chinese President Xi Jinping? Will the Donald spit at him over accusations of currency manipulation, trade surpluses and encroachment in the South Pacific? Will Drumpf call him a derogatory name? Slap him on the back? Put his arm around President Xi in a phony "palsy" display?

He wouldn't shake Merkels' cause she is a woman and was probably waiting for it. Might have gone badly. Very bad. Better act like he never heard the request.
