1/ THREAD: Donald #Trump is sitting in this odd manner during a town hall because he feels emotionally uncomfortable as well as physically uncomfortable. His advance 'team' failed here and should have insisted on a different chair design. #BodyLanguageExpert#BodyLanguage
2/ Trump, with high probability, simply cannot balance himself on these high-styled chairs. His difficulty balancing is probably secondary to his obesity (and relatively narrow chair) as well as also possibly a neurologic or musculoskeletal problem.
3/ From a #BodyLanguage perspective, sitting in this configuration shows a lack of emotional commitment — and a lack of stability. This projects the emotional tone of a person who is feeling uncomfortable with the subject matter. He looks like he constantly wants to leave.
4/ Intriguingly, although he was sitting on a different chair design, #MikePence sat in a similar manner on a lower chair last week during the #VPDebate. This also engenders a lower confidence level.
1/ THREAD: In case you were wondering, Trump was high (again) during the 'Town Hall' event in Miami.
UPDATE: #DonaldTrump • #DilatedPupils Alert • 15 October 2020 • Town Hall, Miami FL • Pupils dilated ~ 6.5 mm (right eye) ~ 7.0 mm (left eye) diameter
2/ Trump's pattern of chronic (decades-long), bilateral pupillary dilation on an intermittent basis (some days normal, some days widely dilated) — is indicative of Drug Abuse.
3/ A sampling of Trump's previous pupillary dilation:
2/ ...reaches her right (dominant) hand across her lap, in what is a modified fig-leaf display. As she does so, she gestures w/ her non-dominant hand. Both of these nonverbal behaviors show her beta emotional tone, lack of confidence, her vulnerability, & her need for protection.
3/ This is one reason why anyone giving testimony should be in FULL VIEW and NEVER be obscured by a witness stand, desk, etc. Otherwise — it really isn't a full testimony. Why handicap your ability to access a witness or anyone under oath?
Hey @RonnyJackson4TX — you damn well know Trump is a severe, long-term, drug addict. What say you about the hypovascular necrosis of Trump's hard palate? How about his chronic, intermittent, widely dilated pupils? What about Trump's CVA? Trump's dementia?
2/ No testimony should be conducted with any witnesses wearing masks. Such practice takes away from the whole idea of testimony. A profound amount of her (or anyone's) behavior is hidden when wearing a COVID mask. In the midst of a pandemic, this, of course, set up a dilemma.
3/ Why is @SenMikeLee not wearing a mask? He recently tested positive for #COVID19. While he may be recovered & no longer able to transmit the virus, why is his last positive (or negative) test not published? Why not this same logical standard for Trump?
1/ THREAD: @KamalaHarris expression as she says, "@JoeBiden's responsible for saving America's auto industry and you voted against it — so let's set the record straight."
3/ Note also that during this scolding, @Mike_Pence closes his eyes as he attempts to distance himself — and psychologically protect himself from what he knows is the truth.
1/ THREAD: Once again, large, white, particulate debris is projected from Trump's mouth. This example can be seen in Today's video, during the 3:13 mark, as he says, "hours later".
2/ Moreover, as in the past, this debris vectors from the right side of Trump's mouth and is projected down to his left.
3/ With high probability, Trump has an oral prosthetic device, the purpose of which is to block a hole in his hard palate.
