1. If this weren't so desperately sad and frightening

I would go "bwahahahahahha". But because it is, I won't.

Trump: I love your pose. Either you're totally insecure and know your dangerous idiocy (or perhaps it's just intentional bad acts) are being exposed. Or you are getting ready for the straitjacket that they will put you on January 20, 2021.

Or both.

[mfcorey1]

21. Bull!

[mountain grammy]

24. Really? Got a picture?

[niyad]

25. Pictures?

[CaptYossarian]

2. Either he was bored or he missed a potty break.

Depends.

[doc03]

8. "Depends"

[alwaysinasnit]

3. Mulish expression on his face and arms crossed in a defensive posture...

Reminds me of my kids when they were about 3 or 4 years old.

[LakeArenal]

4. "You can't make me!"

[alwaysinasnit]

5. lol

[rickyhall]

15. Next thing you know he'll stamp his feet & throw himself in the floor & scream.

Like my niece used to do when she was 2.

[PatSeg]

37. Yeah and he does that a lot

He's almost always on the defensive.

Also, note that he wasn't wearing a mask, though no surprise.

[alwaysinasnit]

40. +1000

[Harker]

47. He's hugging the only love he's ever known. n/t

[alwaysinasnit]

49. If he had any redeeming qualities, I might actually pity him.

[Harker]

50. As might I.

I haven't seen any, either.

[roamer65]

6. State of California should take the land from the Feds.

Since they obviously cannot manage it well.

[Shrike47]

12. Sorry, no. Those forests belong to all of us. State control might lead to sale to private entities.

[erronis]

17. And like the feds aren't opening up controlled lands for exploitation? Currently I trust Calif more

than this administration and any (r)epuglicons.

[marble falls]

35. The choice between one big Trump and up to 50 little Trumps to baby sit? I'll take the one

[North Shore Chicago]

57. 5

[Illumination]

33. Yes. Guess the Feds weren't spending enough time raking leaves! Spent their efforts

going after BLM protestors, etc....

[PatSeg]

39. Or protecting the border

against also those criminal babies.

[Illumination]

46. Right PatSeg & performing hysterectomies there also (like in today's news). It's like a

concentration camp there. They feel like they're being experimented on...Can you imagine?...

[PatSeg]

51. Whenever I think that they can't get worse,

then I read something like that. This is the stuff of my worst nightmares, the sort of thing I hoped I'd never see in my own country, in my lifetime. Sadly, I am quite sure these people are capable of anything if given the opportunity.

Now we're seeing the answers to the questions people often ask about ordinary Germans in the 1930's -It can happen here and apparently it is right before our eyes.

[Mendocino]

44. Why not give control

to the Bundy bunch?

[Yavin4]

7. Trump cannot relate to anyone who is not fawning over him with high praise.

You either love him or you're an enemy to him. No matter the context.

[llmart]

9. That's the posture he adopts...

when he knows he's out of his league. He doesn't understand a thing about what's happening and Newsome is schooling him. It won't take of course.

That arms crossed pose is classic defensive. And yes, as someone else posted, I've seen that same thing with my four-year old grandchild. Is there any doubt that he has arrested development?

[Marcuse]

55. .

[llmart]

59. Perfect!

That's it exactly.

[Dem2theMax]

10. He looks like a toddler who is refusing to eat his peas.

[ffr]

11. Gavin Newsom is awesome!

[aggiesal]

13. "It'll start getting cooler." ...

Pendejo45 is deserving of his nickname.
Truly, El Pendejo mas grande!

Telling Pendejo45 that 57% of the forest land in California belong to the federal government, means Pendejo45 will look at ways to grift this information.

[jaxexpat]

14. Trump was TOTALLY disconnected from the words he was hearing.

I'm betting he didn't understand anything he was told.

[Rebl2]

18. In other

words, why won’t you help with more money and more people to fight the fires, clean out under brush from the forests floors owned by the federal government. I am not talking about cutting down the forests. Clean out the underbrush.

[KS Toronado]

22. Oh, you mean like when he said you should rake your forests to prevent forest fires?

[Rebl2]

26. No

That’s stupid on his part. Just clean out dead debris.

[mtngirl47]

31. So I have a pretty big forest and that's just not a thing.

A forest and the animals and insects that live in it need dead wood as well as live trees to thrive.

Try clearing dead debris on just one acre. Here in Western NC we have controlled burns--when it is not dry.

Forest fires happen---it is the drought from global warming that is causing these horrible fires in the Western US.

[PatSeg]

41. People, especially Trump, forget

how much land is involved here. Even if "raking the forest floors" was a legitimate remedy (which it isn't), it would be an impossible task. Trump knows nothing about forests, wildfires, or climate change.

[KS Toronado]

54. I agree, our stable genius is not smarter than Smoky Bear.

[Rebl2]

45. California has had

bad forest fires for many years. I do believe in global warming and that absolutely contributes to it. My brother in-law fought those forest fires (on federal land) for over 20 years in CA. He had to retire 15 years ago. He admits the underbrush has gotten out of control-several years ago. I am not saying get rid of trees or all of the underbrush. You are right they need to do more controlled burns. I live in MO and they do that in our forests. CA has had dry lighting as long as I can remember. I am in my 60’s and I first heard of it in my early 20’s. That doesn’t help the situation. Like I said before, I do believe in global warming and storms and hurricanes are worse because of it.

[KS Toronado]

19. That's the posture & look tRumpf uses when his mind is saying "F@@k you libtard"

[smirkymonkey]

20. Arghhhhhhh!

He is SUCH an asshole!

What a petulant little BRAT! "I don't think science knows, actually." WTF? Who the hell does he think he is?!

I hate him so, so, so much. There are no words to express how much I hate him.

[budkin]

23. He's literally a toddler

Moreso now than before.

[TheBlackAdder]

27. FBI says that crossing arms isn't a closed position, it's self-hugging because one is insecure.

.

Contrary to many of those 'Body Language' books, the FBI states it's an insecurity issue.

There are a few FBI interviewer books and videos explaining this out there.

.

[PatSeg]

43. He rarely used that posture

when he was the real estate king in Trump Tower. There he was secure and confident. It became more common once he was in the White House where he was outside his bubble. He's out of his league and he knows it.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

28. That of an obstinate child..has qntone ever showed him pics, video of himself

..his facial gestures, body language; his slumped posture; odd gait [ my father is in his late 80s goes for walks 2x daily..his gait is that of a younger man] anyway he just an fu$$%ng sob!

[IronLionZion]

29. They'll spare no expense to beat up protestors

but can't waste tax dollars fighting wildfires. They'll let the free market solve this problem.

[gibraltar72]

30. I will not eat my peas!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

32. I wonder if there was someplace he'd rather have been.

ANY place else is my guess!

I love the way his coaching has worked with him, and seen that he takes the lessons to heart. He is SO *Presidential* these days.

His body language tutor calls this "The Angry Toddler," I'm told. He's got it down cold.

[moonscape]

34. He's not disengaged, he's thinking:

57% federal land? I can sell it, build a wall, and have some left over to pay off debts and for my kids inheritance.

[FakeNoose]

36. He's thinking: "I flew all the way to California for this?

... I could be golfing now."

That's how little he cares about this major disaster and all the US citizens who are endangered.

[Hamlette]

38. He knows his base will not believe Gavin so he needs to act like he doesn't believe Gavin either.

someone posted a quote from an Ohio (I think) voter who supported Trump because Trump had made the world great. This voter bought everyone of Trump's lies and all evidence to the contrary was just lies. At one point he said something about Trump popping off on Twitter etc but said "that's how you know he's telling the truth."

It has stuck with me. That's the Trump voter. Someone who believes him no matter what. There is no way we can reach those people. It is frightening.

[Grins]

42. Body language. Arms crossed like that...

He's not listening.
He doesn't care.
You are not going to change his mind. On anything.

[Evolve Dammit]

48. Toddler in a suit. That's it folks. He's pissy and is only concerned with him. Don't make him mad...

[pansypoo53219]

52. who made baby man be there?

[Hassler]

53. POUTUS whines even with his fat pie hole shut.

[misanthrope]

56. The petulant four-year-old pose

All Donnie Two Scoops is thinking there is, "If the land is federal, how can I profit from it?"

[Squidly]

58. He had that same pose

during melanoma's speech at the RNC.

[Blue Owl]

60. Put that piece of shit in the corner
