"I'm Insecure," Says Trump's Body Language


(click on photo to enlarge)


Aside from the over-the-top Kim Jong Un-ish "fire and fury" outburst from neo-fascist man baby Donald "Rump" Trump the other day, there was something very odd about his posture when he spoke, namely the tightly crossed arms with his small hands tucked underneath.  Body language  experts suggests that it's a gesture of feeling defensive and insecure, and in a group, "the person who doesn’t feel confident is usually the one who has his arms crossed." Perhaps Rump was fearful of the reaction from North Korea, or not confident about handling this major crisis. In either case, his body language spoke volumes about his unfitness for the job, and the peril we're in as long as he's in the Oval Office.

And the body language of those around him, especially Tillerson, speaks volumes as well, W.

They exhibit all the characteristics of hostages, fearful to contradict him and unable to break free. Thanks Diva.

His defensive posture reminded me of his over-long ties, and the way he holds his hands in front of his crotch when he sits for the public comments after a meeting with another official.

Max - you're right! With the small hands defensiveness, he sure has a lot of "tells" when it comes to his, um, equipment.
