Is it an affectation that they’re trained to deploy? (If so, why?) Or is it just a natural thing that happens in the very specific circumstance of being a politician on the campaign trail, and that’s why no one else seems to do it?
I don’t think I’ve seen it in any other context 🤔
Cheers!
from what i remember, they are coached to do it because pointing is seen as too aggressive but not making any hand gestures is too robotic. so its a way to make a non-aggressive emphatic hand gesture.

Only to people who are actually paying attention to a lot of politicians and likely looking exactly this up.
For the majority of the public? it is just “good public speaking”.
I miss Obama and other politicians who could actually speak.
Yeah.
Although I recently heard him on Marc Maron’s podcast, and was rather disappointed.
He’s still far, far more lucid than most other politicians, but he came off as wildly out of touch, which I didn’t recall him being 10 years ago.
Oh well, that’s the match of time for you.
Well, the man’s retired so he can be I suppose? When (if?) I’m able to retire, I plan on being as out of touch as possible :D
you don’t remember him ordering grey poupon? Like a french aristocrat?
Oh that’s right!
And now I’m remembering his scandalous tan suit!
Was he wearing a tan suit?

And plenty of people use chatgpt instead of google. Not really sure what point you think you are making but…

Still, maybe if Zucc did it people would actually find him cool.
(“Cool” as in, like an average politician, which is still way cooler than he is now.)
Thanks for pointing that out.

I feel it also adds cadence to a speech, which can help people listen more to what you’re saying.
