    First, the video. The event in question occurs at roughly the 25 second mark. Trump is speaking to the two female astronauts currently in space who completed the first ever all-female spacewalk on October 18th, 2019.



    Here is a link to the clip on C-Span.

    Honestly, I don't know. I sat here and recreated his hand position and motion to see if it felt natural, which I know is subjective. To me it wasn't conclusive either. I could see this as being both much ado about nothing, or Trump having a mini-meltdown. A big part of the latter is Trump's personality. He's the type of man that WOULD do that. Portraying himself as the innocent victim of the liberals has always been a part of his fundraising.

    But that doesn't mean he did. My conclusion is that people will read into it what they will. To me it's inconclusive.

    No.

    But Obama gave the GOP leadership the finger all throughout the ONE ObamaCare meeting that the GOP were allowed to attend because all other ObamaCare meetings were behind closed doors...

    Could go either way from what I see. It'll amount to nothing regardless.

    Nope, this one is a legitimate nothing burger. Either he didn’t mean anything by it, or he did and it won’t matter. He does worse on a regular basis.

    Who cares?
    This is the man who openly mocks handicap people and brags about his adulterous affairs.

    Zero people expect anything any differently.

    No big deal....if good decent Americans(especially women) haven't realized by now that Trump's middle finger went up permanently and was aimed at them they haven't been paying attention.

    I agree , inconclusive. My concern is that he has been giving our Constitution the middle finger virtually from the second he was sworn in.
    That is the major crime against American.

    Of course he has been giving our friends and allies the middle finger.
    That is what we need to worry about not what he may have done to a coupe Astroladies.

    Actually President Trump has developed the art of giving the middle finger to the malcontent lefties who cannot get over his landslide election win.

    Because it is a current issue, and because Trump is the type of person who necessitates a degree of skepticism, enough so that it is not just a given that his action is being interpreted wrong or taken out of context.

    Is Groucho "giving the finger" in this pic?

    [​IMG]

    ^I guess it could be interpreted that way.

    Just as Trump (a Serial RAPIST and MISOGYNIST) seems to be dissing these American Heroes.

    Trump = A DISGRACE to the Office.

    His Kneejerk Reaction to this Historic Accomplishment is to give these Proud American Heroes an Obscene Gesture?     :smh:

    Because posting a video on here and writing a post to go along with it takes up soooooooo much time.
