I have previously noted that Trump’s new Communications Director Anthony “Mooch” Scaramucci bears a scary reselblance to the Boneitis guy from Futurama.
Well, the good folks at The Daily Show noticed something else, that Scaramucci’s body language Parallels are rather striking: (The whole video is worth a watch, but the specific clip starts at 9:12)
At first, I found it profoundly creepy, and then I realized what it was, an exercise in sucking up to Trump.
He almost certainly practiced in front of a mirror, as a way to make “The Donald” feel comfortable.
I’ve actually found myself doing something similar occasionally, when I am dealing with Asian professionals.
I tend to mimic their body language that they use to show that I am listening attentively.
Mooch has simply taking it to an outrageous level, and he has almost certainly done so in a far more conscious and practiced way.
What it reveals is that Mr. Scaramucci is a remarkably accomplished and devoted suck up.
He’s perfect for the Trump administration.
