Sorry
I didn't really get this. I fear other people might be in the same boat. I'm sure it's perfectly good though, so please don't be disheartened. You have made something. That is the main thing. Well done.

Really?
How can you possibly not get the joke?
The advert is for an adhesive with a strong grip and Trump is known for shaking hands with an excessively strong grip.
What the hell is not to get?
I like you, Jeffrey44, but you should spend a bit less time with your head up your arse if you can't get this joke.

I get it now.
I think it was the fact that the original narration explained that they had pasted the back of a 12 stone man's overalls. I think this bit should have been removed, so as to imply that the paste had been applied to the 12 stone man's hand (It would also be implied, as it already is in this edit, that the 12 stone man is United States of America President Donald Trump).
I also wasn't really aware that Mr Trump had a reputation for long hand shakes. Now that you mention it, it did ring a distant bell but it is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind for me when thinking of former star of The Apprentice, Donald J Trump. Mind you, I don't really follow US politics, it's a craze that has totally passed me by, I am a afraid. Like Fidget Spinners.
Anyway, it's a nicely edited video. If I didn't know the source material, I wouldn't have seen the join. Good work, I_am_B but not my cup of tea comedically. I look forward to seeing your future contributions.

Fascinating
I'm starting to think that maybe you are Southport's Dom Robinson after all. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of this kind of thing.
The funny thing is that Dom's most successful comedy oeuvres, showing his extremely inept driving causing near-accidents, involved no editing at all, as far as I can tell.
Dom/Jeffrey44: would you care to comment, from a filmmaker's perspective?

I agree, I had tried it without the overalls bit, but the audio cut and length of shot just felt wrong for the long handshake, so in the limited time I had to do it, I just thought I would leave it in

It's absolutely fine, mate
It's simple and well-executed and, as I said, you'd need to have your head up your arse not to find it at least mildly amusing.
