Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes, it's very possible. It's like how he thinks you're supposed to pat children on the head with Hershey bars at Halloween.
A friend, in reference to this, used the phrase "plastic people". Sigh, they really are. Remember those photos of trump trying to stand like a normal human being, and failing?

It's that...real?
He leans so his tie looks straight in photos instead of contouring over his gut.
AFAIK, It's typical of photos from that time - 2016-2020. And yeah, he's real, and a real problem. But really only the figurehead at the top of the iceberg.
Also regards OP's post, loss of strength, and dexterity of one's hands correlates with age, loss of strength, and decline of cognitive function in the elderly. Perhaps you've experienced shaking hands with someone who is in their 70s, 80s. Compare that to someone in their 20s, 30s. It's been my experience which correlates with what I've been taught about the effects of aging globally, that those who are older compensate with a rigid/ stiff strength where they have loss of neural feedback. This doesn't just effect motor function, it also demonstrates an effect on cognitive function.
Yeah, it's supposedly a symptom of a particular mental degeneration, but diagnosing without a full workup and being in person with a patient is a little bit of a faux pas.
