Trump is so outlandish that it's easy to forget about Mike Pence, the vice president who doesn't allow himself to be in a room alone with women who aren't his wife. Yup, totally normal.

There are also memes based on his robotic way of speaking during speeches.
This time, Pence's bizarre speech style has taken him overseas to Poland. During a speech on the Iran nuclear deal, Pence visibly paused, presumably expecting applause. But the crowd weren't prepared to play ball.

@atrupar @socdemnow LOL. That is seriously funny. Outside the Fox-Trump-GOP bubble, Pence feels thrown to the wolves.— The Father of All Dad Jokes (@The Father of All Dad Jokes) 1550369123
