Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo any of you remember ever seeing a U.S. President bellowing like this even once, much less
in innumerable images posted and published almost every day? He really does come across as ranting and unhinged. Do I dare say that the open-mouthed rage bellow does seem rather Hitleresque?

(53,410 posts)He started it all during his helicopter press conferences where he had to yell to make himself heard. Now he just does it all the time.
Hes definitely losing his trademark smirk! Hahahahahaaa!

The first theory comes from talk radio - Trump is doing this to steal screen time from reporters who only want to use pressers to be famous. This skips over the fact that he cant find anyone willing to take the job.
My theory is that his staff came up with it to give him a vent session to blow off steam and not at them.

(5,914 posts)Although Reagan didn't rely on it as much as Trump, keeping mostly out of sight and wisely letting others do the talking for him.
The helicopter trick gives him the ability to avoid answering questions he doesn't want to answer and allows him to provide answers to questions that weren't asked. ("I just couldn't hear you over the noise." He can also scream and rant like a raving maniac, as is his nature.
I have heard reports that the helicopter blades aren't even turning during these "chopper talks", so I don't know what all the engine din is all about. Does he even get on the fucking thing and fly anywhere?
