I don't recall ever seeing ANY other president doing this.
But... it does present a good opportunity for those with digital skills to engage in some outstanding mockery and ridicule.

Trump is just showing that he's not a puppet. It's basic projection.
Because he most certainly is a puppet.

(18,318 posts)A big mistake for many liberal-progressives was publicly obsessing on how they are being bullied. Unfortunately, that is a sign of weakness which tRumps and others love to see and hear, and it will guarantee further intensification. The RW is utterly convinced that lib/Dems are weak and easily pushed around. They WILL NOT stop the "bitch-slapping."
