A little over a month after Trump’s first major handshake defeat, the leader of the free world has found himself embroiled in yet another meathook scandal. During Trump’s recent Poland trip, Agata Kornhauser-Duda snubbed his first attempt at a handshake, choosing instead to go for Melania’s delicate grasp. Only after greeting Melania did Poland’s First Lady succumb to the president’s sweaty mitts.
