Apparently, he has those fake hands because under his coat, his real hands are carrying a big automatic rifle.

They conceal such large weapons in this way because the public would be worried that there was and especial danger....and that they were at risk.

I wonder if this is normal or just because it's Trump? And why have an automatic rifle instead of a normal hand gun?

I am a bit gutted the hands are not in fact, fake.

I was looking forward to showing ds and his mate when they get back from school. Sort of thing that would've impressed them!

Some of you are just bonkers!

You've convinced yourself that it's fake and that it must be a disguised gun or camera and any movements must be fake too Grin

He's holding a fixed position because he has firearms under his coat.

I'm not 100% convinced.

I need proof. Bet he's world thumb wars champion or something. There'll Be a video Grin

Shame he didn't fire on Trump.

This thread is hilarious.

Fake arms so he would casually shrug them & his coat offGrinGrinGrin

Emma, shame on you. APOLOGIZE!

CommonFramework · 23/01/2017 14:58

Aw! But he held his right hand in such an awkward pose with the fingers spread apart - how is that comfortable/possible?

Giles Yes I noticed him yanking her.

On a side note, would you be happy to have your children in a parade like that where there is a need for that type of weaponry and armour??? I sure wouldn't. Thankfully, I'm not likely to be the president any time soon. Grin

I still think it's fake, and that the movement is a control of some sort.

That blokes Inspector Gadget on roids.

I sure as hell wouldn't take DC along to wave.

They're both holding guns ready to shoot, the hand is covering the gun.

NovemberInDailyFailLand · 24/01/2017 00:26

I thought that, Ginger. I was getting anxious seeing the young Trump lad and all the babies.

AGnu · 24/01/2017 01:07

I think they're real hands & the weirdness is a combination of having to have his hand close enough to the gun just inside his coat & hand signals. He does a little thing with his thumb when they stop to draw attention to them stopping & telling someone else to get into the standing still formation. They probably had someone watching him obsessively & mumbling codewords into a microphone so everyone with their earpieces knew what was going on. It'll all be part of the plan... That or I should watch less NCIS...
