We’re pretty sure we don’t need to tell you what comparisons people made, so we’ll just show some Twitter reactions:

@bonner_bolton Nice try w/ the hand move last night buddy, but I believe you stole it from #potus, it’s called the, “Trump.” #bustedbronco

Burgess took to Twitter today to shut down any controversy surrounding the incident:

Loverz its #clapbackseason Lets talk about the awkward hand… actually since I’ve had #nipplegate already, lets just call it #handgate pic.twitter.com/yhdAQwlkfx

Anyone who has the ridiculous idea that it was intentional…is straight up stupid. As in lacking th intelligence to realize it was innocent

@bonner_bolton ‘s a true southern gentleman & was so embarrassed that it even happened let alone got caught on camera for gossips to gawk at
