After shaking hands with Zelensky, Trump made a strange sign. Social media buzzed VIDEO
Social media is discussing an unusual gesture that US President Donald Trump showed after shaking hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on September 22, 2026, in New York during the UN General Assembly.

After shaking hands, Trump briefly pointed two fingers downwards, then turned his hand towards his leg. This movement became the subject of various jokes and speculations.
In particular, some social media users suggested that the American president allegedly gave some sign to the Masons.
One possible interpretation is that Trump might have given a subtle signal to his security or the meeting organizers. Theoretically, the movement could have meant that the meeting was over and journalists should leave the room.
Another version links it to the well-known gesture where the index and middle fingers form a V. During World War II, this sign became popular as a symbol of victory, and in the 1960s in the USA, it was actively used by anti-war movement participants as a symbol of peace. However, traditionally the fingers in such a gesture are pointed upwards, while Trump showed them downwards, so the connection between these gestures remains only a guess.
Yet another explanation is related to biker culture. Motorcyclists use two fingers pointed downwards as a brief greeting and a wish for a safe journey. The gesture is associated with the phrase "two wheels down," meaning the wish to always keep both wheels on the ground. In the biker community, such a movement can also signify mutual respect.
At the same time, the simplest explanation is that the gesture could have been completely accidental. The movement of the fingers could have occurred naturally after the handshake — for example, due to a change in wrist position or a momentary muscle tension.
