The Fist Bump

Because the connotation is that you've done something worthy of approval, whereas a handshake is a more formal and neutral greeting.

Because it’s a ridiculous way to greet another world leader, COVID or not.

Remember when Biden was the only world leader on a ZOOM CALL wearing a mask?

Because people are idiots.

Yeah, especially those who fist bump other world leaders.

I bumped fists with William Shatner once. I had extended my hand out for a handshake, but he chose that route. One of his assistants later told me it’s because he’s a germaphobe.

I also fistbumped Tricia Yearwood once, but it was just in passing.

Question should be why the whole handshake thing was an issue to begin with.

Prior to his ME trip they said he will not shake hands with anyone. Then he got to Israel and the dumbass in chief couldn't remember the new rule and shook errrrbodies hand. Even attempted to shake the hand of a lady whose religious practices prevents her from touching any man not in her family, handshakes included. She confused the idiot with a bow.

Then he gets to SA and does what he does. Idiot.

Funny thing is a fist pump is a more friendly gester than a handshake so looks more like they are pals optics wise than of a handshake would have occured.

Tldr...cliffs....lefties are dumbass try hards.

Because it was so stupid, and disingenuous. Typical behavior for this administration.

Biden must be racist if he didn't want to shake the Prince's hand. That was my takeaway.

Because this is as far as CNN and MSNBC and wapo and the like are willing to take it. This SOB has done way worse than fist bumping Salmen. By the way, frick Salmen. I think it’s funny. Two criminals in an awkward moment.

Truly amazing, isn't it? The Nazi Apologists at the Old Grey Lady never change.
