Are you going with the Illuminati angle? Isn’t that the whole triangle thing?

He’s about to perform triage on the federal government. Tri-age. Tri as in 3 as in triangle.

Well, someone has to be the adult in the room. This is a well-documented body language gesture that is called steepling, or in this case minor steepling.

I first read about it years ago in a book called Body Language. Here is a linky at http://www.psychmechanics.com/2015/04/body-language-steeple-gesture-of-hands.html

“Trump frequently hold his hands in a triangle”

The reason for that is simple..because holding them in a octagon shape is painful.

Problem with the claim is that placing ones hands in the position indicated can not be considered abnormal. Humans naturally need to do something with their hands when they are not using them, whether standing or sitting. For most people, it feels uncomfortable to just let them hang loose. I personally use finger tip contact with both hands on occasion as a stretch routine, although I admit I do not resort to this method very often. As a naturally born leader, Trump never sits back in his chair. As such, he does this to project himself more effectively into the conversation, but it means he has to do something with his hands when there is no desk or table in front of him. I believe it is nothing more than that. When he is standing and speaking his hands are always in motion with hand gestures for emphasis. When standing but not speaking he holds his hands at his side as he has done repeatedly when calling on someone to speak briefly at one of his events.

Sometime in his life he went through a course on public speaking and media.

You put your hands like that so they don’t flop around. The problem is that by sitting with your legs apart, and your hands like that, it appears and he is getting ready to hold a “fire hose” and spray all over Brett.

Did I accidentally stumble into a mislabeled Friday Silliness thread? This is hilarious. Nothing like a good laugh to start your day.

The “three” represents the nuclear triad.
