It is widely believed that the thumbs up gesture originates from the gladiatorial fights of ancient Rome, in which the destiny of a losing gladiator was decided by the crowd. Thumbs up, he lived, thumbs down -he died.
Hypothesis: Are the ones he gives a thumbs up with the ones who were bad but are now working with White Hats after a "gladiatorial" challenge by defeating another cabal agent?
Need some eyes on this one!

How could I do something that would in some way, associate myself with these heartless ass clowns? It was bad enough when it was just Trump doling out stumpy thumbs up, but now it’s become “his thing.”
The only reason everyone behind Trump is giving a thumbs up is because he is giving a thumbs up and someone in the White House has decided that the thumbs up is now his signature move. I’m surprised other people are giving double thumbs up, though. I thought the rule was Trump gets two, everyone else gets one. Or maybe that only applies to ice cream scoops? Good Lord we’re doomed.
