and just now had a flash that I had seen photos of Mussolini with crossed arms!

Raced to Google images, and guess what, not only crossed arms, but also the hand gesture making the doughnut!













He can't even think up his own gestures!

1. Crossed arms is a defensive, defiant position.

It's, "I'm afraid of you, and fuck you also."

8. Crossed arms is also an effective way to control physical pain

As a person with an autoimmune disorder, I cross my arms all the time and cross my arms even while sleeping.

It makes me feel better and relieves the pain that I deal with continuously. Also, patients who have heart surgery cross their arms to help with faster healing and pain management. https://www.steadyhealth.com/articles/crossing-your-arms-relieves-pain

What I don't do is make fascist remarks or hand symbols, stomp over the U.S. Constitution, create division within my own country, or run a corrupt campaign/administration.
