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!

    Oh that?

    Thats the motion you make when fanning through dollar bills, one handed, to count em.

    They’re doing a pavlovian reflex everytime they need to remind themselves where their money comes from, and how its time to focus in on delivering shareholder lobbyist value.
