2/ One of the techniques of such individuals is to make a series of false premises that build on each other.

3/ In between these false premises, Trump doesn't want you to refute his statements — so he rapidly extends his hand in a dominant, palm-down fashion, and begins his next premise at an accelerated rate.

4/ Not only can you not speak, but this also has the additional effect of feeling like it violates your personal space even though you may be seeing this gesture from miles away. Beware of people who use these (and other) conman techniques.
