The fuck did people want him to do? Punch a former president? Get into a screaming match and make himself a target for crazies?

Turn his back on him.

You're right. There is absolutely NO middle ground whatsoever between physically assaulting someone and schmoozing them with smiles and handshakes. None at all. Like, there's no such thing as turning around and walking away without interacting with a famous person in public. Secret Service agents would've tazed him, tackled him to the ground and then frog-marched his still-twitching, limp body up to Trump for a photo op. Guy Fieri had no choice, he's the real victim here.

Since when is smiling at someone and shaking a hand schmoozing?

That's definitely schmoozing

Nah.

You think this is a chance encounter, like they just ran into one another at Whole Foods or something and stopped to chat about the weather? And there just happened to be photographers there?

.....it was at a UFC match. So it likely was a chance encounter.

So like, Guy Fieri stumbled into Trump while on his way to get popcorn and Trump was just helping him up? And Fieri had to thank him for his quick reflexes because it's the polite thing to do?

>Guy Fieri stumbled into Trump while on his way to get popcorn

Yeah. Have you never been to a sporting event? You know that they have special areas for VIPs, right?

And he couldn't say, "Excuse me" and keep walking? They had to shake hands and have a friendly chat, while photographers were snapping away?

How do you know they chatted? He could have just said hello (like a non asshole) and that was that.

You're really determined to defend Guy Fieri in this matter, huh? Weird.

He's done more good work for people in a year than everyone on this sub combined has done in their lifetime. I'm so fucking sick of this "If someone does one thing that we can perceive as bad (like being polite), that person is shit who should be shunned." That is why liberals keep eating their own and contributed to Trump winning the election.

Photographers are generally at sports matches, and celebrities going to the same sports match often run into one another.

What do you think schmoozing is?

What do you think it is? I've never seen schmoozing be used unless people are trying to talk someone into something or make connections.

Being seen shaking hands and smiling with people is making connections.

nayrt - Exactly. Weird how the ayrt is resisting this concept so hard, like it's not a thing.

... what? That's literally just basic polite behavior.

Like damn, this whole thread is proving to me that some of y'all never leave the house.

It's proving to you that many people are disinclined to be polite and friendly to Donald Trump, a sexual predator, rapist and con man.

Please note that downthread, another nonny points out that Guy Fieri is known for his philanthropy, and part of that philanthropy is making nice with people who have money, so they'll donate to causes he supports. And that shaking hands and being friendly with rich assholes is a huge part of that strategy. Does that qualify as schmoozing to you?

Actually, yeah, being nice to somebody so maybe they will do something for you is kinda the definition of schmoozing.

How about ignore the man? Casually wander to the opposite side of the venue and avoid him? Leave?

Right? The fact that anon you replied to thinks there was no other option between shake hands and smile and have a good time and FIGHT is hilarious.
