1/ THREAD: Trump displays an amalgam of:

1. Anger
2. Forward Lip Purse

during a question regarding his upcoming order barring new immigration.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #TrumpPressConf
2/ A Forward Lip Purse indicates:

• Clandestine Plan
• Undisclosed Information
• Undisclosed (full or partial) Disagreement

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #TrumpPressConf
3/ This nonverbal combination is particularly ominous. With high likelihood, Trump's intentions are to prolong his order barring immigration.

1/ THREAD: As Pence says, "elective" ("We, we recognize the role that elective surgeries play in finances for local hospitals") he makes this expression.

2/ Pence's face is an amalgam of two emotions:

• Doubt/disbelief (Note the dramatically asymmetrical elevation of his forehead)

• R2E2 (This resembles disgust and indicates a feigned empathy and an attempt to recruit his audience in co-rationalization & manipulative-rapport)
3/ Notice he also is gesturing hyper-frequently near his chest (palms inward) but never touches his chest (with his palms or even his fingertips). This screams insincerity and manipulation.

1/ THREAD: Trump earlier today at the WH press briefing: "We're taking very special care of our nursing homes — and our seniors. Other than me — other than me. Nobody wants to take care of me."

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #TrumpPressConf
2/ Just on the face of it, this statement is:

A. Profoundly Narcissistic
B. Obviously, factually untrue (are we really to believe the President receives no or little medical care?)

But let's do a deeper diver & examine Trump's #BodyLanguage in this moment.

#BodyLanguageExpert
3/ As he says his first of two "Other than me" statements, Trump points to his left chest and, with the tips of right middle and ring fingers, touches his chest.

1/ THREAD: Immediately after #DrRedfield says, "... that will be supported by the American public's continued cooperation...", Trump contracts both hands, with his right hand forming a full fist.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert
2/ Immediately following this fist formation, Trump then splays out all digits on both of his hands.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert
3/ This #BodyLanguage cluster is indicative of considerable hostility & anxiety. Trump does NOT believe that the American public will cooperate w/ *his* plan. That is, Trump believes that the US public will resist 'reopening the country' under his timeline.
