Politically biased. Not in compliance with WP:NPOV Eric Cable  ! Talk 18:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Moreover it is embarassing for an encyclopedia trying to be taken seriosly to have such an embarassingly stupid article about literally nothing. 93.36.190.141 (talk) 19:12, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Violates WP:BLP: "Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively [...] This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages. [...] BLPs should be written responsibly, cautiously, and in a dispassionate tone, avoiding both understatement and overstatement.". Words such as "awkward" and "bizarre" and expressions such as "yank[ed] the judge towards him as if he were a pet dog on a leash" do not reflect a conservatively, responsibly, cautiously, and dispassionately written article. It should be noted that not everything published in a reliable source automatically lacks bias; WP:NEWSORG states this clearly: "News sources often contain both factual content and opinion content. [...] Whether a specific news story is reliable for a fact or statement should be examined on a case-by-case basis." --William Case Morris (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Is your BLP concern strictly the expressive language used by the authors of the cited sources? I ask because the BLP policy says, "Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed. If the entire page is substantially of poor quality, primarily containing contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced, then it may be necessary to delete the entire page as an initial step, followed by discussion. Page deletion is normally a last resort."  I would disagree that "the entire page is substantially of poor quality, primarily containing contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced".  —   fourthords  &#124; =Λ= &#124;  19:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It is "substantially of poor quality". The entire article revolves around the idea that Donald Trump's handshakes are "awkward", "bizarre", "appall" others, prompt "memorable eye-rolls", "appear to painfully twist" arms, etc. I do not believe that such an article can be considered as nothing more than poor quality, at the very least (assuming good faith). --William Case Morris (talk) 20:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
