2/ Look carefully at Trump yesterday:
• His #BodyLanguage was not sarcastic
• His tone of voice/vocal characteristics were not sarcastic
• His words were not sarcastic
• The micro-context in which he made the comments were not sarcastic (no one else was being sarcastic)
• His #BodyLanguage was not sarcastic
• His tone of voice/vocal characteristics were not sarcastic
• His words were not sarcastic
• The micro-context in which he made the comments were not sarcastic (no one else was being sarcastic)
3/ • The macro-context in which he made the comments was not sarcastic (the whole subject of this press briefing is the #Coronavirus Pandemic. Tens of thousands of people are dying, why would you be sarcastic?)
