In my opinion, there are lots of things wrong with Donald Trump - but none more spine-tinglingly awkward than the issues he has with his hands.
First there were his terrible hand-shakes with any and every fellow world leader going (take a look at those here, if you're brave enough). Then there was the painful (and unsuccessful) series of attempts to hold his own wife's hand, and now he's had a second awkward hand fumble with Theresa May.
President Trump is currently in the UK on an official visit, so he and First Lady Melania had dinner with the British Prime Minister at Blenheim Palace last night (presumably to get him as far away from London and the protests as possible). But as Trump and May walked up the steps to the Palace, they were filmed locking fingers in yet another horrendous hand-holding moment for the pair.
You can see it in the video below from around 45 seconds in:
And just incase you want to study the uncomfortable affair in any more detail, here are the pictures:
I really don't know why these two insist on holding hands in public. I get that there's a 'special relationship' between the UK and the US, but as far as I'm aware that doesn't mean the country's leaders should feel compelled to physically display it.
Everyone's clicking on...
Remember last time it happened? It was January 2017 and Theresa May was on an official visit to Washington DC when, for some unbeknown reason, Trump clutched her hand and she seemed to oblige in letting him hold it for way longer than is humanly acceptable.
Awful.
But rest assured, this hand holding thing probably won't be happening again any time soon. This morning it was reported that Trump told The Sun in an interview that he would not agree to a trade deal between the UK and the US if Theresa May's Brexit plan goes ahead. Which is pretty awkward, considering the pair literally just had dinner together last night and he probably could have told her that herself...
Never a dull moment.
