2/ The above image was taken on 20 January 2017 — at Donald Trump's inauguration.
3/ Note the manner in which Donald Trump is shaking Nancy Pelosi's hand:
• Pulling her hand dramatically toward his torso (probably touching his chest/jacket)
• Bending her wrist at a sharp angle (even if you're an 18-year-old athlete, can be painful, esp. if it's sudden)

• Trump is lifting her entire arm much higher than any variety of normal handshake
• Trump is leaning into Pelosi's Personal Space

• While Pelosi is directing her entire body toward Trump (feet, hips, chest, head, eyes, etc.), and her torso is upright, Trump is not 'full-body pointing' toward Pelosi. His feet, hips, shoulders, chest, etc. are rotated significantly and he is asymmetrically leaning in.

6/ Pelosi is orienting her entire body direction in a manner engendering rapport and respect, while Trump's body direction is significantly rapport destroying and is projecting disrespect, condescension, and an attempt to intimidate.
7/ SUMMARY: Men who shake other men's hands in this manner are, with extremely high reliability, narcissistic. Men who shake women's hands this way are not only narcissistic, they are also misogynistic and objectifying.
