There is no trap
Revisiting this for a second…
The hands.
You get the big accordion gesture.
You get the tiny wedge gesture.
You get the medium accordion gesture.
You get the big accordion gesture then some active playing the accordion gestures.
You get the jumping wedge gesture, then the diving bird gesture once, twice, part of a third time that transitions back to the accordion.
The gestures are…weird.

He is so dumb. She played him like a fiddle.
Michael Cohen asserts that the accordion hands is a tell that Donald Trump is lying.

[narrators voice] There was indeed a trap.
Cohen may be right. I tend to the opinion that Trump simply doesn’t care what’s true and what’s not, he just says stuff, whatever pops into his head, and he is annoyed when people care about whether it’s true. So I’m not convinced he’s aware of whether what he’s saying is true; it doesn’t matter to him.
I don’t know what the f he’s even talking about.
Ha, thanks for that, Steven. The accordion hands are so absurd.
Not caring what’s true and what isn’t is what you might call a downside of electing a marketer as president.
Much of the above recalls to mind that classic appraisal of President Richard Nixon by former President Harry Truman: “I don’t believe that the son of a bitch knows the difference between telling the truth and lying.”
Trump gets baited, the gift that keeps on giving, even after the bait is gone.
