Trump’s forceful handshake belies his desire to take control, experts said, and to show that he is the boss. US body language coach Patti Wood summed up the tics of the handshake Trump has displayed to the world since becoming president. “He (Trump) offers his hand first, pulls his counterpart to his side, and taps the recipient’s hand. US president Barack Obama greets chinese president Xi Jinping during a bilateral meeting in Saint Petersburg in 2013. “When shaking hands with Trump, Xi can stand to the left of Trump, reach out his right hand first with palm upward, pat Trump’s hand three times and stop the handshake first,” he said.
