There are many things that I detest about Plump but

the one thing that he does on a very regular basis is....during an interview or when answering a question, in his answer he says "you know that". It makes me want to scream. Is there something else he does on a regular basis that makes you cringe like the example I just gave?

There are times I read your posts and think I wrote them!
I enjoy our posting sisterhood!

Doing fine through the stay-at-home, and staying healthy so far.
Hope you're well, and tucked in for as long as you wish. Stay safe!

Ask him a question and he'll run right by it with a blizzard of bullshit. Now, he's more into calling reporters stupid.

Especially young, attractive ones he can't easily intimidate.

thumb and finger little gesture. His tiny fish faced mouth. His voice and his lizard eyes. His drugged out demeanor. His hand movements:

I was mesmerized by the size of his little mouth and little hands. He seems to be so worried that wearing a mask would make him look bad, yet he still persists on wearing that raccoon on his head. He thinks we dont know that he's as bald as a badger.

The last time he forgot the word "brain" and just said, "I have a great .... you know."

Also it's funny when he says, "No one knows that---" about something that's news to him, but most of us know.

You know, no one knows Lincoln was a Republican. (Yeah, right, just everyone who ever studied 5th grade social studies.)

how great his fake medicine worked on them or some other asinine thing he says. He says, “People say...”. and reporters appear to fall for it. That or they pretend to fall for it.

Most of the reporting I see about him are by people who can see the Emperor has no clothes, but they take off their own clothes to make him look normal.

We’re supposed to think we can all just pick up the phone and call him. His base believe even his most obvious lies, and I think a lot more than just his base fall for everything he says.

What do these people do? Do they ring the WH and ask to be put through to the president?. He is such a vile liar.

He forgets to mention that 40,000 came in from China after he closed the borders. He brings that little gem up in every interview and press conference.

Everything. There is not one thing he does that doesn't irritate the hell out of me. I despise him more than words can say.

Also, he hunches over in the chair when he's being interviewed. I can't remember any leader of any country holding his body that way during an interview. It's almost an aggressive posture, like he's going to pounce on the interviewer if he doesn't like the question.

The way he crosses his arms over his chest/belly is such a closed-up posture. Without words he is saying "I'm not accepting anything you have to say to me. I'm defending myself against your comments."

It always reminds me of the profile of Alfred Hitchcock when he used to have a TV show called Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
