Keep the FRANKEN hands mime going. Apply it to everything he does and change the ‘victims’ to suit the need or occasion.

He vows to regain trust? The libtards that actually voted for him never lost any trust over this groping stuff, if anything it’s good campaign tactics to guarantee the next election.

Hey Al, how's that "grab" you?
