New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern left the church around the time she started her career.

Even though she left the church decades ago, it seems like she still has at least one Mormon trait... That forced grin you'd associate with missionaries telling you they love the Book of Mormon or reluctant teenagers being made to give a testimony.

A lot of the people commenting on the video mention this and saying how insincere it looks. As a one time member myself, I know exactly where she got it from - her upbringing.

Clip is 47 seconds long.

It may just be that she has what I think is technically referred to as an Eric Trump Overbite. Or Freddie Mercury.

She has considerably more hand and head movement than you see in Mormon speech patterns.

True.

Smiler might not be it.

Sometimes it comes from grace, happiness, freedom, and outlook.

Mormons/ Former Mormons (Formons) are the only ones that SMILE. Do you have that on file?

I agree. She has large, prominent teeth.

I've seen her on the Corbet show over several year and I really don't think it's a mormon grin.

Nope. It's tact. Professional mixed with at ease.

She's too honest & straightforward to have even a tinge of mormonite in her.

I don't see it. Her eyes are too expressive. She needs that blank, glassy-eyed stare.

I agree that she is way too animated to be a Mormon. The RS women would criticize her for that, and for being a career woman. She doesn't fit the mold.

I suggest you guys take a listen to what she is saying here. It's pretty sinister.

I don't live in New Zealand, unfortunately, otherwise, I might.

It's a simple interview in which she says she thinks being a New Zealander and being a global citizen are synergistic.I don't know whether she uses her right hand or her left hand, but that is the only sense in which she could be sinister.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is QAnon bait.

I see her as someone who knows the importance of projecting well on camera--which can be daunting. Don't see insincerity, and, I don't see her as overly polished either which makes her more believable for me.

Perhaps insincerity is in the eyes of the beholder?

She is a great contrast to my family that all use the special "testimony voice" when making any address of supposed importance.

Oh darn, the troll's gone away.

And I had such a fine riposte figured out. Woe is me!

He'll be back.
With a different name.
As always.

Several names yesterday, a couple today. That's a mole who enjoys frequent whacks.

SHE uses the same name for a lot of her posts. And she's still on her.

Ha!

When you posted your pedantic taunt the first time, I thought "he can't be that bathetic, can he?" But yes, yes he can. Then the mods canned your cultural-Marxist ass and I thought the fates had been unusually forgiving.

Yet here you are again. Can the court fool be foolish enough to repeat such a banal and juvenile quip? Why yes, yes he can.

"I know you are but what am I?"

Which leads one to wonder what grade you are in. Seriously, can't you come up with something a little more inspired than that? Something a little more in line with your . . . intellectual pretensions?

No need to answer, Lord of Literalism. It was rhetorical.
