But yeah it's body language 101 - I had to explain it to the stupid deplorables who know nothing, if that much.

When in bully mode he mocks and points; when faking his patriotism he pats his heart as if the mere suggestion that he can honor something over and above his own interests is a momentary appeasement. His face is one huge perpetual grimace. The defensive crossing of his arms is a childish pose having nothing to do with thoughtfulness or body comfort but to insecurely ward off criticism and truth.

He is such a belligerent wretch.
