The camera barely looked to the right, there’s no way to tell if there was anyone over there or not. I kept wondering if I accidentally stopped the video early and missed where it showed there was nobody there but I’ve played it a few times and no, it just doesn’t show anything. Maybe there’s a longer video this is a clip from that shows it, but you just have to take RiotWomenn’s word that he waved to nobody. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Trump waving to nobody; Are you sure he wasn’t trying to get a cab to come up on the sidewalk, so he could be driven the ten whole feet to his own limo? Because I would be completely unsurprised by that. ---

Another incident, or maybe it’s part of the same incident. It’s perfectly clear here that he is waving at a crowd of people a long way away, who can’t see him.

> [@Peter\_Morris](#): > > Another incident, or maybe it’s part of the same incident. Different incident. The one from a few posts ago was as he was leaving Trump Tower. This appears to be at a NASCAR race, and it looks like he’s in the infield of the racetrack (i.e., the area inside of the “circle” of the track itself). ---

He could be waving at the people in the near distance. It’s hard to tell from a still. There could be more people off to the left (our left). ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Because a car that runs on electricity isn’t a “real car” to right wing nutjobs. Of course not. It doesn’t make loud, rude noises when you tromp on the throttle drawing attention to yourself. How else are you going to wave your pecker? ---

> [@dasmoocher](#): > > video of two psychologists discussing Trump’s projection Since I do not want to watch/hear clips of dump I will not watch the youtube videos however I am checking out the podcast by the same pair. I would assume you can find it “wherever you get your podcasts” - for me, that’s at [Shrinking Trump podcast | Listen online for free](https://www.radio.net/podcast/shrinking-trump) and currently have on the latest episode “Conviction Day this is an emergency” - good info. You still hear rump’s voice, but that’s not as bad. These two guys really spell it out for us and everyone should be listening to them. ---

I listened, and though I’m sure other episodes talk more about his dementia, the latest one focuses more on what he says since he was found guilty and what it means, especially to his followers. well worth a listen. ---
