1. Let's hope. NT

[manor321]

2. Wow!

Mr. Mueller may have some interest in that part of the story.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Leak please.

Oh I would love to see a full-on Trumper tantrum tirade go wildly viral.

[Solly Mack]

4. lolol

[RockRaven]

5. One must ask oneself what kind of man

is so insecure he believes any recording of how he behaves constitutes an undermining?

A delicate, fragile snowflake, perhaps?

[ProudLib72]

6. $50 on the guy making the "asshole" sign

He didn't get the memo to Be Best.

[MontanaMama]

7. Yikes.

Who knows where those thumbs have been...

[KelleyKramer]

8. I think that's a white power sign

I could be wrong, but I think the 3 fingers pointing up make the W and the circle fingers are for the P, to symbol WP- white power

There was a similar pic of Stephen Miller that was photoshopped

[ProudLib72]

10. I can't find it now, but there was a post about this earlier today

The "ok" sign that the idiots use for "white power" is also the American Sign Language sign for "asshole". I wish I could find it because there was a good meme, but here is the picture that was used to show the ASL sign for "asshole". You can see it is basically the same. Anyway, I have decided that it means "I'm an asshole" whenever someone makes that sign.

[KelleyKramer]

12. OK wait. are you serious?? Really?

I'm not questioning you personally, but if it is true that is so perfect it's almost like poetic justice

My irony meter is officially broken... no, it's shattered and laying on the floor in pieces!!

These people are going to put The Onion out of business

[Maraya1969]

14. It was brought up because #45 made that sign all the time during the campaign. It seems to be

something new but other white supremacists are seen making it.

And then someone found out it means, "asshole" in sign language.

[loyalsister]

15. Those are two different signs

They are vertical opposites.

[ProudLib72]

19. Yeah, but there are plenty of pictures of other people making the "WP" sign in different directions

There is one of Stephen Miller doing it exactly like the woman in the ASL "asshole" picture.

[loyalsister]

20. The point is that they are distinct signs and distinct meanings

Making a joke out of it is like exaggerating accents or different pronunciations of people who speak English secondarily.

[ProudLib72]

21. You're saying I need to have respect for people who make the "WP" sign?

[loyalsister]

24. I'm saying there's no need to make a joke out of ASL

[ProudLib72]

25. No one is making a joke out of ASL

The sign already existed in ASL. We are making fun of the idiots who think they are tough using the "white power" sign when they don't realize that it means "asshole" in ASL.

[ProudLib72]

23. I FOUND IT!!!!

[Doodley]

27. It also looks like the single-handed shuffle sign, and I'm not talking about cards.

[Chellee]

29. Single-handed shuffle

😐....🤔....😳.... ....

[llmart]

30. My take...

looks like the guy with his back to us in the picture has to give the other low IQ assholes an entire course in how to properly make this signal because THEY'RE ALL SO FRUCKIN' STOOPID.

These types of idiots used to at least know they were stupid and should keep out of the public eye, but Trump has emboldened them and I lay this all at his feet. What a truly horrible person he is.

[mitch96]

31. Ok, I can see their logic

Three fingers make a "W" and a circled finger next to a straight finger can be misconstrued to be a "P".. ie WP or white power..
Now I want to see the secret decoder ring and the youtube video of the secret hand shake...

9. Lol, even the portrait behind him is pointing him out

"It's that guy!"

[Cha]

11. lol.. Yes he is.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

13. Water board these A holes.

[smirkymonkey]

26. I'm all for it.

[jcgoldie]

16. If his friends are impressed by that...

Maybe he or she needs new friends.

[maxrandb]

17. What kind of fucking friends does this person have

that they'd be impressed by the bloviating of Donnie Shit for Brains?

Get some new fucking friends, I say.

[gratuitous]

18. I hope nobody in the White House is surprised

This entire administration is an exercise in "Lookit the swells I run with, Ma!" It's only meet and proper that at least one of them is recording things to show off for his friends.

[superpatriotman]

22. Impress your friends!

Great at parties!

[calimary]

28. I guess that trumps everybody else's contributions!
