Nice arc. As with NLP, body language analysis is bullshit, but enjoyable bullshit. Anyway, this video:
https://youtu.be/imSd7g_a9Oc?si=QVry1CcDijwzD56Y&t=58 starting at that time stamp, talks about handshakes and imputes/discusses the meaning of the various styles. That's not all that related to your arc. But the "Macron taps Trump as they leave to let him know that it's still a friendly game". That's just wrong. The pat on the back (often the small of the back for women) is part of the dominance game. Even if such "familiarity" is consensual, it's still an overloaded mixture of games. I mostly blame my GenX peers for taking the work-life thing too seriously. The Boomers get a lot of blame. But in the end, they knew when to act "professionally". We got a bit confused. Then it all went to hell with the Millennials and the gig economy. I had an interesting conversation on the plane back from Boston. A self-proclaimed angel investor sat next to me way back in the cheap seats. He showed me some of the slide decks of the projects he's participating in. Those all seemed legit. But he's a hardcore fanboi of Musk. And claims he's had conversations with close colleagues of Elno; and told a couple of stories that sounded apocryphal to me because they were schematic (unbound particulars where, were they actual stories, those particulars would be concretely bound). He claims to own a Tesla. Even so, I leveled my criticism of Elno's trajectory since, maybe 2016 or so. It's still difficult for me to tell which (if any) parts of my single-serving friend's stories were bullshit and which were actual. Familiarity is a critical indicator.

It is the job of politicians to integrate many divergent wishes into policy. Some standoffish behavior is what one should expect from such a person. But too much familiarity is a play and cannot be real.
