How to use shaking in a sentence?

1. Chuck Grassley:

   I am doing the usual things, trying not to shake hands with people, washing my hands and being careful about sneezing and stuff like that. Beyond that, not much. I am not avoiding meetings. Yesterday and today, I always have eight 15-minute meetings with constituents, I am continuing those meetings, just not shaking hands like I usually would.

2. The Presiden:

   The lies, coverups, shaking down foreign countries undermining our democracy will be recorded as one of the worst periods in the history of our country, all led by a dishonorable con man, follow the facts, impeachment on the way.

3. Lindsay Walters:

   Once again this is a completely false story driven by people who want to distract from the success taking place in this administration, the President's pick for the Supreme Court (a decision that has generational impact) was confirmed today, we hosted multiple foreign leaders this week and the President took bold and decisive military action against Syria last night. The only thing we are shaking up is the way Washington operates as we push the President's aggressive agenda forward.

4. Trevor Moffat:

   It sounded like a big tractor trailer passing by the road, rattling and shaking, guttural rumbling. ... We left everything there, grabbed my kid, my dog, got in the car with my wife, all the neighbors were outside, a lot of young people crying. Armageddon type reaction.

5. Kate Kilpatrick:

   It was so terrifying because this is my first earthquake. I thought it was a nightmare because I was so confused, the whole world was aggressively shaking.
