Obama can very credibly claim he was only joking about Trump's accordion hands and not Trump's very tiny dick.

and here I thought he was merely playing Trump's concertina.

Actually, I thought that segment (pun intended) would make an awesome short (pun intended) clip or meme.

Till I started to read DU this morning - and OMG!

I'll watch a clip and see if there's a special twinkle in Obama's eye as he does it. Right now though, I'm guessing it'll be there.

I was wrong, there's no twinkle in his eye - but the subtlety of his delivery was absolutely glorious!! Much better this way, because you can't really say he did anything on purpose.
Nicely done!

It reminds me of the time when (then) Prince Charles gave Dump the finger in a receiving line by lightly rubbing his eye with the proper digit. It was also a subtle move that could be viewed as being perfectly innocent.

You might call it a reverse Johnson:
“The race was close and [Lyndon Baines] Johnson [LBJ] was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitchh deny it.”

When you're at the top of the wrong list I guess your feelers are easily hurt - Go OBAMA. And if Trump is their favorite President, they should re-examine their values. Breitbart should never judge anyone.
