The internet broke when Trent, blogger at Barstool Sports, tweeted the video of his awkward moment with former US President George W. Bush at the Presidents Cup. He tried very hard to shake hands with the ex-pro golfer and former POTUS, but his attempts failed hilariously.
He wrote, “I found myself in an unfortunate handshake situation with George W. Bush. I just couldn’t get a handshake from him.”

The pause to act like you're taking the picture and then saying ok got it, while still videoing is gold.

The poise amongst the confusion is impressive. Stayed calm, snapped the picture, reengaged for a handshake. Beautifully done. You’ve come along way since “Where are you stationed?”

The USA team for the Presidents Cup is quite strong, so it is hard to imagine any other nation winning this year’s Quail Hollow tournament. However, the international team does have a slim chance of upsetting the fans. Many top global players have left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf, so the American team will have their work cut out for them if they want to come out on top.
