This is an extremely rude gesture in some countries.

In some countries, like Brazil, it means "asshole". In some others, like Greece and a number of middle eastern countries, it means "faggot". Good thing Trump will never be president. You could have a whole bunch of international incidents on your… um... hands.

I've never had the DTs, but I'm sure it's just about as pleasant as being in Drumpf's presence.

The ugly facial expressions are a "bonus", now that you mention it. I wasn't really looking for that as I hunted down the images of the weird finger-thing (which took me all of three minutes, and I even had to omit some for space).

Just using his facial expressions. Remember the old ads for Pert or Prell, or some hair product anyway...But the catch phrase was "and she told a friend, and so on, and so on" where the ad ended up with the screen full of small shots of the women all on screen at once. Kind of like the Brady Bunch, but more. That's the ad I want to see, with Trump and a different goofy - stupid ass look on his face until there are about thirty of them all in one screen shot. He makes stupid faces with the frequency other people blink. It should be an easy and inexpensive ad to make, because there's just so much raw material to choose from, and each stupid ass goofy face is different from the last!

In Oregon it means 'DU never disappoints' or 'Straight People are Tone Deaf'.
