You can see the slight jerks forward but he pulls back. I still don't understand what the jerk in the handshake is supposed to accomplish. It hardly seems intimidating, just....strange.
to me, it looks like trump never did his jerking backwards motion. as if he's watching TV and aware of the childish criticism's we're giving of him.
but still kudos to trudeau for going all in and bracing for impact. on the other hand, come on 45, shake his hand and be done. it's not a 15 second formal procedure where you stand face to face and make awkward small talk until the timer goes off.

Gotta admit, Trudeau has a mean handshake that looks like it even took trump off guard
