Portuguese president gives Trump the most Big Dick Energy handshake yet
Watch Next

Lost amid the chaos of Wednesday's Supreme Court-related news was this little meet-and-greet between President Trump and Portugal's president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, that added another chapter to Trump's collection of awkward handshakes.

From the video, it appears as if de Sousa gives Trump a nice firm tug, flexing a bit of handshake superiority over the Handshaker-in-Chief, leaving Trump a little off-balance because, hey that's usually his move.

Unsurprisingly, the handshake didn't make the White House's highlight reel of de Sousa's visit as only Trump's on-again-off-again Euro Bro BFF Emanuel Macron is usually allowed to get away with that.
