2 of 11/ As fear crescendos, we may see any number of multiple nonverbal tells. A cluster of behavior Donald Trump displays when he's scared & feels backed in a corner includes:

• Tightening of jaw
• Extending jaw forward (mild jaw jut)
• Flaring Lips outward (aka a Lip Curl)

3 of 11/ Donald Trump also often Lips slightly when he's frightened. Did you hear it?

It's crucial to differentiate Trump's Fear-Lisp from the separate and distinct phenomenon when he lisps on occasions when his oral prosthesis temporarily loosens.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #EmotionalIntelligence #BehaviorAnalysis #NonverbalCommunication #JimJordan

2 of 25/ A clown doesn't have to be a 'scary clown' in order to creep us out. They often 'feel' insincere and duplicitous — feelings we should always approach with caution.

3 of 25/ When a clown's 'painted-on' smile doesn't match their real mouth — it's an overt reminder that a person's spoken word often doesn't match their true intent. Thus clowns are often perceived as duplicitous and devious — which is scary (life clearly has enough of that).
