1/ THREAD: Trump regarding his son, Barron, "I have [long pause] young boy who goes to school. I'd like to see him go to school."
He doesn't say, "a son", nor does he speak Barron's name.

2/ Intriguingly, Trump looks down to his left as during his long pause just prior to saying "young boy". This is the quadrant toward which people tend to look when they are choosing their words and formulating their syntax more carefully.

Addendum: This is not Trump being a protective father, rather this nonverbal-verbal dynamic is an example of distancing behavior. Trump is distancing himself from Barron.
