Hands And Shoulders Telling A Story

 

No, that's not normal! Also, what's not quite "normal" - or at least common - is the tRumpian "body twist" when he is delivering a speech of some kind. As far as I can see, the twist starts at his waist and then goes up, making his shoulders move in a sudden jerk/twist. It's surprising that a twist may be part of flirtation, whereas the "jerk" may signal a medical condition that needs treatment. Is he flirting with the audience?

As everyone with a loving dog knows, paws may be quite nice, but they can't compete with a hand when it comes to altering what makes our world work.
