President Xi awkward moment prediction thread

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?

Xi will then give the secret signal that nukes Mar-a-Lago.

The guy was taught, probably by his father, that a strong/take control handshake is the way show your strength, especially if you have small hands. 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.

If he likes his steaks over-cooked and smeared in ketchup, I can only imagine how he prefers his fried rice.
