HUGE Caveat: None of us were in that line. None of us know what exactly was said. None of us can get into anyone's mind to know what is being thought or felt.
My summation of the video of the handshake between #Harris2024 and #Trump at the #911memorial : Trump seems to have wanted and sought to shake #KamalaHarris 's hand. Harris and #ChuckSchumer are in deep convo (Schumer is no doubt already strategizing how to get Harris's policies through a Senate vote, because that is what competent political parties do ---> they plan and strategize and make certain they have done their best to head off problems well ahead of time even while there is no guarantee #Harris_Walz2024 will win). Trump is noticing that cameras and the group focus is on Harris. Trump wants (needs) to try to get some focus on himself because he knows he is "outside" the In-group. Trump appears to engage #Bloomberg to facilitate a handshake. It is not a fully pleasant handshake by Harris, but she does not move away from the opportunity and engages professionally, as is appropriate for the occasion honoring and respecting the 9/11 victims and their families. Other media have reported that Trump tried, when he has Harris's hand, to pull her toward himself and she stood firm, not moving forward. (Creepy; but can only get a hint of that from this video when he sort of jerks his arm toward himself. #WTF ? WWF wrestling move?) #Schumer seems to know #Trump is gagging for #Harris 's attention and seems to note to Harris that she got one over on #Trump and for the moment at least, #Harris has won against a disgrace of a former president. #Bloomberg looks like he swallowed something disgusting, but quickly turned his attention to chatting with #PresidentBiden .
[I don't even want to speculate on the #JD_Vance mini-me, please-love-me-daddy energy that is going on. #Trump and #JD_Vance do not appear to really get along.]
