Trump is in Poland, as we discussed on the Plante show Thursday. After he gave his big speech there, the President and the First lady stood for a photo op with the Polish President Duda and First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda. What followed has lead to a big heap of fake news. As Trump and Duda were shaking hands, the Polish First Lady reached for Melania’s hand, and Trump clearly thought she was reaching for his, leading him to extend his hand. He was ‘left hanging’ for a moment, then after the First Lady shook hands with Melania, she immediately shook hands with Trump. That’s the entirety of the incident.
However a very short (intentionally misleading) video of the incident makes it simply seem as if the First Lady ignores trump, snubbing his handshake,

This lead to bs headlines like these:
Handshake Fail: Watch Poland’s First Lady TOTALLY Snub Trump
The First Lady of Poland Smoothly Avoided Shaking Donald Trump’s Hand
SWING AND A MISS!Polish First Lady Leaves Him Hanging
Now several outlets have altered their headlines to still try and mock trump that she INITALLY left him hanging, but even that is just misleading. Granted it’s awkward, but any hint it is a snub is 100% untrue.
Take a look at this video from Time Magazine (who still says she ‘Reject’s Trump’s first attempt’, again not true)
What do you think? Was it an intentional snub which she then one second later un-snubbed, or is this full scale BS fake news?
