He did that at the very beginning then sat down until his first question. He returned to it for the rest of the night. It looks like he was trying to create the look of standing behind a podium - it suggests authority and it's where he is most comfortable.

My 2 cents

like he felt too exposed sitting down close to the audience. Lack of confidence.

his energy drink isn't working.

I believe it.. I kept asking "..what's he on?.."

Maru

Not many have mentioned it this time.

"He said he wanted Heaven but prayin was too slow..so he bought a one-way ticket on a airline made of snow..."

Use to be Bolivian Marching Powder.

we called it Peruvian nose candy.

How is this man still considered a viable candidate for POTUS?

The laundry list of things he has said, done and threatened is enough to disqualify a dozen candidacies.
His behavior, statements and demeanor are hideous stains on the nation.

In the 1980s, this man would have never made it through Iowa and New Hampshire...
In the 1990s, this man would have been run out of the race by the time his escalator ride ended...
In the 2000s, this man would have lost the primaries by a landslide...

Now?

He can claim to have sexual rights to abuse women, and he is still running...
He can threaten to jail political opponents, and he is still running...
He can contemplate using nuclear weapons, and he is still running...

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?

Seriously, I think that we will have a second Civil War before this madness is purged from the population. There are too many people totally divorced from reality since 2008 to maintain the facade that these are United States any longer...the hatred, bigotry and insanity are at all time highs and something is going to have to change or our course is one of "Iceberg! Right ahead!!"

In contrast, I think Hillary looked extremely good, attractive and put together.
Also, his lurking, the menacing pacing around and the hovering over her was creepy on steroids! Ick!

Unable to support his massive weight.

Even his tiny hands are so heavy he has to rest them (groping induced fatigue).

the last question re. something you like about your opponent and he said "she doesn't quit, she doesn't give up, she's a fighter" kind flies in the face of him saying "she has no stamina". More projection by Donny...

boo hoo.

I see what you did there.

.....too many Trump taco salads and KFC

Can't be.

At first he tried to intimate Clinton. While she was talking, he stood behind her in her personal space, glaring. He'd stalk around the stage, fists clinched, semi-crouched, scowling, again while she was speaking. When he spoke he looked at her, not the audience or the mods, again in her personal space, often with his tiny finger nearly in her face. He was a feral predator.

When it didn't work, he started the "Oh I'm so tired of dealing with this mere woman" body language routine.

If you can stand it, rerun the debate with the sound off and watch Trump. You'll be reminded of nature documentaries of a jackal trying to harass a lioness.

I'm no fan of Clinton's (yes, I will vote for her), but hand salute, ma'am. Well done. You sent that creep back to his corner and made him stay there.

and why are his hands and face such different colors?

It's more burnt than his usual Cheeto orange

That's pretty much all it takes. The bar is just that low.

Tweety thought he won. Called the next debate a rubber match. He can go choke on a turd. Enough of this media sponsored horse race bullshit.

WEIRD!
