🟡 BODY LANGUAGE ANALYSIS OF EMMANUEL MACRON 'DISMISSING' BRIGITTE SCANDAL
(1/7) To address the obvious physical aggression from Brigitte that millions have seen by now, Macron resorted to an old crisis communications trick: reframe the event as 'misinformation'.
To do that, he made sure to mention briefly the 'misinformation' campaigns against him in recent weeks. First, of course, the 'napkin' that I already analyzed in another video/thread and had half the world up in arms.
Notice that he makes sure to say that it was a 'completely authentic' video. That's going to be important later.
(2/7) Then, he mentions that odd 'handshake' with Erdogan, when his finger got... stuck? for way too long in the Turkish president's hand.
Again, he was making sure to frame the event as something that got out of control for no apparent reason. Notice that, once again, he makes sure to mention that the video was 'authentic'.
You know where this is going...

🟡 BODY LANGUAGE ANALYSIS OF BRIGITTE SHOVING EMMANUELLE MACRON'S FACE
(1/7) Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron were arriving in Vietnam when the cameras captured this interaction.
But was it an actual, aggressive gesture, or was something else? let's find out...
(2/7) This is one split second before the 'shoving'. This is how we know that Macron didn't expect the gesture, since his body was relaxed, he had a neutral expression and his left hand/wrist was relaxed as well.

BODY LANGUAGE ANALYSIS: (1/5) Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are under fire after giving these answers about Trump's assassination attempts investigations.
I find it baffling that Kash Patel says that 'two of the investigations are OBVIOUSLY closed because the individuals are dead'. So, you don't want to know about their motives? who else could have cooperated with them? That was a nonsensical affirmation, and he spoke without breaking a sweat.
He also did a subtle eyebrow flash to 'connect' with the interviewer emotionally. But then...
(2/5) I see him nodding heavily and resorting to look to Bongino to look for rapport, as in: emphasis and presenting a united front.
He looks in Bongino's direction twice and then uses his eyes (opening them a bit more), also for emphasis. Most of this feels out of his body language baseline, maybe he knew he had just said something nonsensical in the past clip.

How María Corina Machado has PROVEN that Venezuela's narco-tyrant Nicolás Maduro STOLE the 2024 elections. 🧵
Before we begin, it's convenient that you watch my video about how the Venezuelan government steals elections:
Insults are a significant issue in many relationships. In healthy partnerships, they are notably absent.
In toxic relationships, particularly narcissistic ones, insults are common and harmful.
They can range from criticizing abilities to mocking appearance or preferences.
Unlike playful teasing, insults carry harmful intent. They are a form of devaluation and dehumanization.
In toxic dynamics, insults are used as tools for control, power, and dominance. This behavior limits intimacy and vulnerability between partners.

[ How to use your body language to DESTROY a hostile argument ]
Dealing with people with malicious intent requires not only quick thinking, but using your presence to disarm them.
Watch how Guyana's president Irfaan Ali ripped BBC's Stephen Sackur to shreds: 🧵
(1/12) BBC's agenda is to picture Guyana's government as irresponsible for the future release of X amount of carbon emissions.
While Sackur makes his point, Ali keeps his body language open and respectful. Tilting his head a bit, focusing his attention, his hands on his thighs and legs open.
This gives a signal of being in control. No defensive posture, nothing blocking his chest, his chin and neck relaxed, lips not pressed or tense, and feet planted flat on the ground.
