This seems like a good perspective, IMO. Like yes, my initial reaction to that photo was to mistrust anyone who would shake Trump's hand while looking overtly friendly. But then I thought about how many factors there are in this situation. And if Guy Fieri is really as active for as many good (and progressive) causes as people ITT are saying he is, then that absolutely should count for far, far more than this momentary, probably hollow-ass gesture.

Also, as a public figure who is apparently quite active with humanitarian causes, it honestly would've been risky, if not downright foolish of him to snub Trump directly. Trump is powerful, petty, and vindictive. You don't snub someone like that to their face if you have important humanitarian goals that can be ascertained and obstructed. That's not to say Guy Fieri definitely couldn't have avoided coming face to face with Trump in the first place. Maybe he could have or maybe he couldn't have. We really don't know. At the end of the day, it shouldn't matter all that much, when the good he does is so much more meaningful and is in pretty direct opposition to the values of the cretin whose hand he's shaking.
