I'm watching Gov. Walz ('RAT-MN) press conference and the lady doing the sign language is just over the top with her facial expressions and signing motions. I think she is just making stuff up.
This has been going on for some time, usually when there is a disaster - hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards.
Nikki Haley's interpreter achieved some fame a few years back.
There have also been fakers, most notably the guy who interpreted Obama's funeral speech in South Africa, but also locally here in the states.
She’s translating into Jive.
Drives me nuts, I mock them whenever they come on tv.
LOL
LEFTY LOOKING LESBIANS
Most likely from Gallaudet University, extreme left, even for a University.
I’m hearing impaired and had a profoundly deaf coworker that attempted to teach me ASL (American Sigh Langauge).
Fortunately for both of us, hearing aid technology made some vast improvements...
Winner! Anybody know if it’s photoshopped?
Your “translations” hit my sillybone so hard I can’t stop laughing.
One if her signs indicates “Boobs. Really, really big ones!”
At least that’s my reading.

For 50 years I have wondered WTH isn’t there a UNIVERSAL Sign Language that EVERYONE could learn all over the planet!!! It seems like a No Brainer.....Maybe I’m the one with no brain.
“The second, uses just one hand and finger positions shows what he is saying.”
Cued speech is fairly easy to learn. Very simplified explanation: When lip reading, Bat and Pat look alike. So do sip and zip. Cued speech uses one hand near the mouth to indicate the differences.
Per wikipedia, “Cued speech is a visual system of communication used with and among deaf or hard-of-hearing people. It is a phonemic-based system which makes traditionally spoken languages accessible by using a small number of handshapes, known as cues (representing consonants), in different locations near the mouth (representing vowels) to convey spoken language in a visual format.”
The Minneapolis sign language lady is also bald and ridiculous looking and acting.
And that arouses resistance among deaf adults who don’t like the idea of the abolition of the culture in which they have lived their adult lives and perhaps their entire lives.
Makes those deaf adults look bad - but you have to sympathize with their plight, without agreeing with their conclusion.
