the Obama hand gesture ... I didn't take it for a dick joke at all, but I'm reading a lot of takes with that viewpoint

I took it more like Obama was surprised and dismayed to see he was accidentally "doing" a trump accordion hands impression and then looked up to see if anyone else noticed, and was then like "let's just pretend that didn't happen" ... which is hilarious in its own right without the dick joke overlay.

your thoughts?
