30 of 31/ More specifically, men who shake women's hands in this manner exhibit a very high correlation with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of women and children.
29 of 31/ Crucially, men who display this behavior when shaking women's hands are not only narcissistic — but with extremely high incidence are misogynistic and view women as objects to be used and manipulated.

28 of 31/ SUMMARY: When men shake hands by pulling the other person's hand-arm close to their torso, they're exhibiting an overt dominance/power display.

Such behavior, consistently displayed, is a strong indication of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

27 of 31/ Trump also invades Nancy Pelosi's personal space (intimate space) by first standing too close (which he does with many/most women) — as well as leaning forward with his waist/torso and neck/head (note Pelosi's backward lean).

26 of 31/ Donald Trump performs the triple manipulatory tactics of pulling Nancy Pelosi's hand-arm close to his torso, lifting her arm to considerable and uncomfortable height, and bending her wrist in two planes (both in flexion and laterally).

This photo is painful to see.

25 of 31/ This next image of Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi was taken on 20 January 2017 just prior to his inauguration.
23 of 31/ Yet another example of this narcissistic-dominance handshake — Trump pulls Hillary Clinton's hand-arm close to his torso during their second debate at Washington University (9 October 2016).
22 of 31/  Note Trump's simultaneous jaw-clenching, nostril flaring, and lip-thinning (adrenaline surge associated with his frustration and anger).
20 of 31/ This wrist-bending is a sometimes-additional component of a Narcissistic, power-display handshake. Forced bending the wrist further subordinates the other person, and, depending on the other person's age, angle of wrist, force applied, etc., is often painful.
19 of 31/ This is not a gentle hand-holding which men often exhibited toward women from yesteryear — this is a tight grip with forced flexion of Theresa May's wrist.
