Observers on social media noticed Donald Trump's occasionally strange pacing on Sunday during the second presidential debate in St. Louis, Missouri.
During Sunday's debate, Twitter users observed that while Trump wasn't speaking, he often wandered around the stage, standing behind his chair and leaning on the back of it.

During a presidential debate in 1992, President George H.W. Bush was criticized for checking his watch repeatedly, giving the appearance of impatience to many viewers.
