Donald Trump and Peter Thiel have a secret handshake, I guess

2025-04-28 10:52:19admin

President-elect Trump held a meeting with several tech leaders in Trump Tower today, during which he did a squeeze-shake-pat-pat secret handshake with advisor and Facebook board member Peter Thiel.

Thiel, worth an estimated $2.7 billion, funded Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawkerand once said, "If you're a single-digit millionaire like Hulk Hogan, you have no effective access to our legal system."

Clearly, Trump and Thiel are two normal every day human people just like you or me.

An image of the handshake reveals a possibly jealous, possibly confused Mike Pence fixated on the two billionaires hands, interlocked in a bizarre knot of fingers, palms and knuckles.
