Trump gesture patterns. All pattern interruptions which stop whatever immediate cognitive process the listener is in and replaces it with a cognitive vacuum in which strumpet places his messages. Basic NLP used in professional commercial Advertising. He constantly ‘reframes/re brands’ to suit the moment to reinforce his overall intent and specific needs of the moment.

Elbows into his stomach, forearms straight out and hands palms forward as if to say and has the impact of: “ you there who I’m giving orders to: STOP & be Quiet/Shut Up, push aside what is on your mind, Listen and Hold your attention on me…” The professional Announcer/news anchor pov intent in a three step sequence: Shut up, sit down/go limp/be quiet and Listen!

Finger and thumb circle: what im talking about is True and a-ok.

Right hand gestures in a three sequence starting high at this face / ear level, 2nd gesture, often different like an upraised index finger *another message of stop and listen to ‘this’, 3rd gesture moves vertically down to end in a gesture to signify: Conclusion, end of subject, remain silent.

Trump synchs up his gestures with cue words/phrases.

Here is an example of verbal pattern interrupt, this category is Phonological Ambiguity: “Are you wearing a wrist watch what you’re doing!” causes a brief mind silence/vacuum and ready to process new input at the unconscious level.

Non verbal: extend hand to someone to shake hands but never actually connect because a handshake is a complete Unit and if it is started but not completed the receiver is off balance and mind had been forced to briefly stop what is was up to just like the language model.
