The look on Xi's face was priceless and it was pretty easy to read his mind. Some of these leaders need to say something out loud when Trump tries that ridiculous macho move.

I've never seen anyone do that and I wonder when and how he started it. Maybe around the time he decided that neckties to his crotch make him look slimmer or bronze makeup makes him look younger/handsome. Someone in the 1980s said he looked like Robert Redford and Trump evidently believes that (or he suggested it to the writer).
