I just noticed some very telling body language from trump*

[Siwsan]

I don't know how to capture short video clips, but during his interview about his trip to Puerto Rico, when he was talking about the paper towel incident he insisted: "I was having fun. They were having fun."

But when he made the second statement, he was definitely indicating, with his hands, towards himself. I wasn't particularly surprised by that, but I don't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere else. Anyway, the best I could do was a screen capture of the moment. If someone is so inclined, it might make an interesting captioned gif. And, BTW, obviously I caught this on the new Randy Rainbow video. I love Randy Rainbow. I think "Desperate Cheeto" is one of his best.

4. That pretty much describes his every press appearance, doesn't it.

I'd love to see a compilation of more examples where he is saying one thing but his subconscious is on a different wave length.

7. Yep, his typical stance. A photo compilation of his body language would be quite interesting. nt

3. I noticed the same thing

I just figured it was his usual narcissism but it still struck me as odd, even for him.

5. With his odd expressions and gestures Trump would make a convincing Batman villain.

It is like in the first Batman movie the Joker takes over the people of Gotham even though they know he is toxic. Problem is there is no Batman and the monstrosity and corruption of Trump is real.

8. No doubt, HE was having fun and enjoying every moment.

He mentioned how they were cheering FOR HIM. He thrives on that. It is his life’s blood. When he is feeling low, he needs that fix of people cheering for him. Hence the need for rallies and other gatherings where he can hear the roar of the crowd. Ever notice how he encourages the clapping by clapping as he comes out on stage? Guess that is what he likes to call “priming the pump”.

Completely absorbed in his own selfish needs, he failed to recognize that the people had just gone through a nightmarish experience. A storm of that magnitude is trauma all by itself. Then there is grief and loss to deal with. Yes, they may have “played along” with tRump and cheered as he entered the building but anyone with half a brain would acknowledge their losses. He would not have turned it into a game show atmosphere if he really had a tiny clue how they felt.

He is giving us lots of clues about his personality defects. The professionals have tons of material to study since so much of his daily life is documented in one way or another. He is a live case study being carried out in the most dangerous way possible. I just hope that those around him are paying very close attention because the well-being of all of us is in their hands.

11. It's like when you're bowling, and you lean to "control" the path of the ball

In this case, it's Trump recognizing that he's a 6'2" stack of shit, and he's using his hands in an increasingly futile attempt to keep the stack from toppling.
