https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/3-poll-of-the-day/75394499 Yes, it was obviously a juvenile thing to do. So was GWB calling a reporter "a major league asshole" (while not realizing the mic was still on) or Obama calling Kanye West a "jackass" for interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs (which he did was the thing was still recording). These are all things which people naturally do. And before anybody says, "Oh my god, it's so immature! So unprecedented!" After I bothered looking into it, I found a clip of Obama giving a middle finger in the same manner: Which I remembered seeing a clip shared on Facebook at the time and getting a laugh. (I had recalled seeing a clip from a speech when I posted in that topic and thought it might have been Obama.) Likewise, while finding that, I found GWB doing it as well. All of which are also immature but still merit a chuckle, mostly because it's immature for a president to do that and everybody knows it. Not one of them should have done it, but it's hard to be offended by that shit. For reference, here's the clip. This supposedly occurred after Trump was interrupted: --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

You should just post all your pro Trump bullshit in this one topic, so it'll be easier to ignore you. That way you can kiss his ass in one topic and not infect the entire board with your nonsense.

It's considered worse because he has no redeeming qualities. This is pretty much where I'm at. If Trump were seen as a level headed guy, totally handling this 'being president' thing, we might interpret this gesture as him just hitting his limit with someone being unreasonable. You can't compare it to Obama doing the same thing, because Obama had some fucking gravitas. --- This album is not available to the public. Even if it were, you wouldn't wanna listen to it! ...

i wonder if he even knew himself what he did.
it reminded me of a TV series where human behavior was analyzed to solve crimes(i think "lie to me"). they used the exact same gesture(i'm not talking about just the middle finger, but also the head scratch "concealing" it) as an example of how people make subconscious gestures triggered by emotions they try to conceal. ...

But in all seriousness, @Zeus. You seriously don't think that there's any difference between Donald Trump (the current president of the United States of America) "slyly" giving the middle finger to Paolo Gentiloni (the current prime minister of Italy) and Barack Obama (the then-Democrat contender for US Presidency) and John McCain (the then-Republican contender for US Presidency)?
One is during a public convention in November 2008, the last day before the 2008 US Presidential Election, and the other is during a G7 meeting with the leaders of the other nations, mind you, the first one Trump was a part of during his first year of US Presidency. ... Copied to Clipboard!
