Polish politician Donald Tusk on Thursday tweeted a photo of him pointing a pair of fingers toward President Trump’s back, a gesture some alarmed Twitter users likened to a gun.
“Despite seasonal turbulences our transatlantic friendship must last #Trump #NATO,” wrote Tusk, whose term as president of the European Council ended at the start of this month.

Make no mistake......this is what the dems are hoping to provoke. I mean the real thing and all it takes is one crazy person (as they are) to accomplish it. I cringe every time Trump appears at one of his rallies and hope and pray that he has a vest on. The Secret Service can only do so much to protect him at this type of gathering. These people (the dems) are evil and will stop at nothing in their quest for power.

My thinking too, #1. While the demonrats will punish this kind of hand gesture if a 4 year old makes it in pre-school, they would like nothing better than for the real thing to happen to our president.

I don't know that I see that as a ''gun gesture'' towards the president. A video would tell a lot more than just a snapshot. Was he just trying to get President Trumps attention with a little tap on his back? Doesn't look threatening to me at all. Are there Trump hating nutjobs out there? Oh yeah, by the thousands and they're called Democrats, but this article and pic are weak.

I am calling BS on this whole story! That does not look like a "gun" gesture. Good grief.

That is NOT a gun gesture, more like a knife, and not even that if you look at the man's face. He is Polish and the Polish people LOVE the Americans, since Ronald Reagan and Lech Wałęsa defeated the Evil Emprre together.

Move on a nothing article trying to get a rise out of someone. Maybe to inspired a crazed leftist but not me and it appears not others here.

I think they are trying to drive a wedge between the Poles and Trump, and I don't believe that it is what the leftists claim it is.

#3,#5,#9- Indeed, skepticism is shared. A careful look at the photo shows Mr. Tusk looking to his right, perhaps toward the individual talking with President Trump; the placement of his fingers, instead of his entire hand, at President Trump’s back may be nothing more than not wanting to walk into President Trump or, possibly, to preclude President Trump stepping backwards into him (Mr. Tusk). Angela Merkel looking back toward Mr. Tusk suggests she may have been watchful to make sure Mr. Tusk was keeping up with the group heading toward a specific destination.
Mr. Tusk is a former first two-term Prime Minister of Poland, “...became a devotee of free-market capitalism” and looked “...to Western Conservatives Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan as role models. ... In 2001 he formed another center-right market-oriented policy, Civic Platform (PO).” Considering his credentials and the content of his tweet, “Despite seasonal turbulences our transatlantic friendship must last,” the verbiage does not seem confrontational—it may be an expression of understanding tensions of the real world and intended to be conciliatory.

Congress must act. We need foreign finger control legislation. Roberto O'Rourquez will be along shortly to confiscate your assault fingers. That would be the middle ones.

Obviously a low quality, double barreled, single action finger gun, very unlike the automatic single barreled finger assault weapon popular in the United States. Plus, one can easily see the gun itself was incapable of firing because Tusk's thumb was in the safety position.

THIS is what occupies news space these days? Not only is it fake news (that's no gun gesture), it would be an utterly foolish and irrelevant story even if it were true. This isn't even page 6-worthy.
