Just tell him you think you feel like you’re coming down with a cold. Cough. A lot. Make it sound as if phlegm is coming up your windpipe.

Carry a heavy bag on your shoulder and let it swing into him when he comes in for a hug. “Oops! Sorry, gotta go!”

Stick out your hand for a handshake. When he comes closer for the handshake or insists on a hug because of familial horseshit, get in close to whisper that if he tries to hug you again you’ll tase his sack.

I’ve got to give “the best” Trump deflection to Justin Trudeau. He was fully prepared and it was obvious he was controlling Trump, not the usual vice versa.

One option if you REALLY need the full hug is simple: stand one step backwards from where you would usually stand for a hug and lean in as he approaches, and pat his back rather than squeeze. It’s very awkward to keep that up. Bonus, pelvises don’t touch.

Stick your hand out for a handshake, and keep it extended outward so even when he tries to hug you, the handshake is in between.

Load up on luggage but leave one hand free-ish for a quick shake before your husband says goodbye, then start making your way towards the airport door.

I’m a little surprised no one has suggested you review Hilary’s practice tape for avoiding the groper-in-chief’s unwanted hugs. I know its been a day or two since it was posted which is like three months in living under T***p years but still searchable. Alternately you could try the Comey manouvre: try hiding behind…

Immediatly sneeze when he goes in for it. No one wants to hug someone who just sneezed on them.  

Normally I’d say just don’t hug — go for a handshake before he can go for a hug, but that may not work. So you can also wear a shoulder bag that you pull around the front of your body to create some bulk, and therefore space. He tries to hug you, if you feel like you need to you oblige, but the bag is in the way so…

Accidentally step on his foot real hard as he goes in. That hurts him and has some plausible deniability to it should he go on about it.

Head them off at the pass?

Knee to the balls usually heads off most hugs.

Hand shake one arm bro hug with two pat’s on the back. It keeps your arms separating the full embrace. Easy to push out of in a normal way.

Stick out your hand to shake his first & head him off at the pass.

I heard that some people can’t see a good thing without trying to shit all over it. And then trying to pretend it’s not them doing the shitting by hiding behind “some people” instead of owning their shittiness

If that’s the case, then maybe we need more celebs with douchy brothers?
