    That was just bizzare.

    Can you think of the leader of any other country where that would slide? I mean, not even Boris would have been that crass. Even keeping it within the States, is there a past president who would have?

    It really made me think of elderly flashers, who act that way because they have degenerative neurological disorders associated with age.

      I mean, technically there is a past president who would have, but I know that’s not what you mean

        If you are referring to Clinton, he was so private that he lied to Congress so as to not have to say it in public.

        So no, there is no past president, in the US or any country in the world, that simulated oral sex in public. Trump did it in front of his own 17 year old grand daughter.

        And two days later, not a peep about it from anyone in the press.

          You’re overthinking it. I was referring to Trump himself, because at the moment he is a past president, and he would have done this because, well, he just did it. It was just an attempt at humor based on the fact that Trump himself is technically in the “former president” category and not some deeper dig at Clinton.
