1/ THEAD: Immediately after Trump introduces and thanks Pence at the #RNC, Pence stands up and pulls his suit jacket together. This is a protective, beta, and low-confidence reaction by a man who has been Vice President for almost 4 years.
2/ As Pence stands up and waves, his facial expression is an amalgam of:
• Regret
• Contempt
3/ His face then morphs into a mixture of:
• Anger
• Regret
4/ SUMMARY: Mike Pence's #BodyLanguage behavior immediately upon being thanked by Donald Trump & whilst receiving applause was profoundly negative — including regret, anger, contempt, & low confidence/protective. Mike Pence is worried about his mistakes — and job security.

1 of 11/ Body Language Analysis No. 4733: Donald Trump quotes from "Two Corinthians" – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence #DonaldTrump #Bibles #BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage
2 of 11/ It's Holy Week for Christians and Donald Trump is hawking Bibles. Many of us are reminded of a particular event back in 2016, when Trump quoted from the Bible – from what he said was "Two Corinthians" (rather than "Second Corinthians").
3 of 11/ Note Trump's right hand, specifically his right index finger as he says, "because I hear" ...
1 of 17/ Body Language Analysis No. 4732: Donald Trump selling and endorsing Bibles – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence #Bibles #BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #DonaldTrump
2 of 17/ Donald Trump posted an ad on his 'Truth Social' yesterday. Trump is not just selling Bibles during holy week – he's only "endorsing" the particular Bible that, along with Lee Greenwood, he is selling.
3 of 17/ Trump's "God Bless the USA Bible" is allegedly a King James version but it also has an American flag on its cover and includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.

2 of 28/ Yesterday, a New York appeals court ruled that Trump has ten days to pay a reduced bond of $175 million (down from $454 million) in his civil fraud case – and he has 10 days to pay it.

1 of 13/ Body Language Analysis No. 4730: James Comer's thumb shrug – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence #BodyLanguageExpert
2 of 13/ Yesterday during the Republican-initiated House impeachment inquiry of President Biden, Rep. Jared Moskowitz and Rep. James Comer had multiple interesting exchanges.
3 of 13/ When Rep. Moskowitz asked Rep. Comer to second the motion to impeach President Biden, except for a grunt (11 second) Comer didn't answer in this exchange. His body language, however, spoke volumes.
1 of 7/ One gestalt Body Language take-away point from Katie Britt's Republican-SOTU response is her melodrama. Like me, you may recall memories from middle school thinking your classmates were over-acting in a school play.
2 of 7/ Acting is a form of lying *with consent*. Everybody's in on it. It's a shared-experience. We do it for entertainment purposes.
3 of 7/ Lying, however, is acting *without consent*. Only one party typically (initially) is aware of the lie. It's most often done with nefarious intent.
1 of 12/ Body Language Analysis No. 4728: Donald Trump is displaying Fear – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence #BodyLanguageExpert #BodLanguage
2 of 12/ The above image was captured on January 6th 2024 in Newton, Iowa – three years to the day after the insurrection.
3 of 12/ It demonstrates an expression that Trump displays relatively rarely – and in light of his legal troubles, its evaluation is particularly important.
