Watch Hillary Clinton Practice Ducking ‘Unwanted Trump Hug’ During Debate Prep (Video)

Turns out Comey’s not the only one who has tried to keep Trump at arm’s length

Put your hands where I can see ’em…

Philippe Reines, Hillary Clinton’s longtime adviser, appears to be trolling President Donald Trump following a New York Times report  that former FBI director James Comey once tried to blend into the curtains in the White House Blue Room in order to avoid a hug from the commander-in-chief.

Comey said he “pre-emptively reached out for a handshake and grabbed the president’s hand.” But it didn’t seem to work. In a sleight-of-hand trick, Trump pulled him into an embrace before he could do anything.

Perhaps Comey should have taken a cue from Clinton.

On  Friday, Reines tweeted a video of his “favorite moment from debate prep,” showing Clinton practicing her technique by greeting a Trump stand-in before a debate.

“Not easy to avoid the unwanted Trump hug, sometimes it even takes practice,” Reines tweeted.

Note: The end of this clip is — hands down — the best part.
