It is way of reminding Warsh that he is Trump‘s puppet and that Trump will pull him by the strings whenever he wants

The look on Xi's face was priceless and it was pretty easy to read his mind. Some of these leaders need to say something out loud when Trump tries that ridiculous macho move.

I've never seen anyone do that and I wonder when and how he started it. Maybe around the time he decided that neckties to his crotch make him look slimmer or bronze makeup makes him look younger/handsome. Someone in the 1980s said he looked like Robert Redford and Trump evidently believes that (or he suggested it to the writer).

The first panel shows what piggy THINKS the grab-and-yank stunt looks like to the rest of the world: two near-equals clasping in friendship (and tacit acknowledgement of who's boss), dominant piggy's strong hands grasping Putin's hand and arm.

The second panel shows what the world sees: Putin grabbing piggy by the hand and effortlessly thrashing him up and down like an old dishrag while piggy shrieks for mercy.

12. Everything is a power play for him. P. S. - When Warsh was asked about his ties to Epstein, he refused to answer.
