State of the Union Body Language for 2019, Trump, Pelosi, Democratic Women in White

In part, because the president didn’t say anything he hasn’t said many times in other forums or do anything that was wildly different or unexpected o the most interesting unique aspect of this state of the union was the presence and nonverbal behavior of women. Both group of the Democratic women in while and Pelosi trying to find the clip where Pelosi held up and read her notes near the beginning of the presidents as an obvious and clear and sustained nonverbal message of disbelief and regard for the president. Reading notes is a tactic that I actually have coached speakers to do doing debates to hold in their nervousness and show their disinterest during debates because is one of the only oddly politically correct ways of showing disrespect and disagreement.

My rough notes taken down as I was watching. 
In any case, I am highly focused on gender differences in this State of the Union for obvious reasons. Its Interesting that in the women whose stories that the president shared ( the female prisoner who became a minister and the family of the slain couple), brushed back tears. I am always interested when we hear the story of a woman with the focus on the story of the woman or women as victims and see a woman crying and men stories focusing on their success or hero stories that would draw more cheers than pity from the audience.

OH here is something interesting. , "...More women in the workforce than ever before and we see the women in white all stand and smile and stand again for the statement, "More women in Congress than any time before.'' And then quite dramatically a wild rousing repetitive cheer from mostly men, "..USA, USA, USA," and Pelosi standing and palms up gesturing for the women to rise again and take in the applause. "
Now the president says with power and verve. quite a convincing "...the catastrophe of NAFTA and the Pelosi dramatically and bring her head go down in her down in disbelief and displeasure.


The president is a good storyteller this evening. He has more pauses as he speaks. And those pauses work to give his words power. He is reading, but he is a voice is dramatic. He did overall a good job on these stories.
With this exception... speak and train and write on public speaking and one of the greatest challenges is introducing someone. As the president shares stories of survivors of the Holocaust and the man he is talking about is applauded we see the president lift his chin up and raise the bottom point of the chin up high, only talking the applause for himself. His chin has been up in pride quite a bit, during this State of the Union, but this is an odd prideful when the honor should go to the person he is introducing. I advise anyone introducing someone to give the audience to them once they have been introduced. You don't claim someone's honor as your own.

They finally showed Mitch Mcconnel as the president was talking about pharmaceutical prices. He looks like he is about to cry, you have to get a photo screen grab of him. This is sadness, a downward sagging corners of the mouth, muscles of the face sagging I have never seen this expression on his face. It does not flash across his face, it doesn't vary, it is not a response to what the president is saying. It is how the feeling in response to the event.
The little girl grace who collected donations for cancer and battled cancer smiling as he speaks of her. A hero's journey, but a suffering journey. Melanie the seated next to her is smiling, Though still shows tension.
And as outlawing late-term abortion men cheer and most of the house chamber stands while the women in white stay still and silent, we may presume in strong protest of the government ruling over what they can do or must do with their bodies. Because not one woman moves to stand and stays still this like a group decision made before the debates.
Later the cheer that I thought supported the women is repeated when the president talks about fighting socialism, "USA, USA, USA"
This changes the cheer to something quite different, a rebellious and decisive cheer of Republicans and makes us wonder if the cheer used before when the comment about more women in Congress was a rebellion against them.
Adam Shiff faces as the president speaks of administration rather than investigation of his administration. Shiff was not happy. I will look for a screen grab of it to analyze it fully.

The president is speaking more formally, more slowly and with fewer gestures than he has in recent speeches.
When the president said something to the effect that America had the powerful military the camera scanned the generals and only one smiled the others faces where stressed and grim.
As the president talked about, "Large caravans of illegal immigrants coming to the United States." there was a loud audible groan from the crowd.


Note the Democratic woman of power most in clean crisp white suits and dressed creating unity and presence that was visually striking. As the president began, the white highlighted these woman's facial expressions shown s with grimaces, smirks and rolling eyes when the president talked of the unity of the parties and when the cameras scanned the rows of a woman in white after one statement you saw only one woman clapping. Again we see in mass how these women feel.

Body Language Read at the NATO Breakfast


Hysterical!!! Read the headline below:

I read Kelly's body language for several news outlets yesterday. Yep, it was all about the breakfast. Sam missed his “green eggs and ham.” It had nothing to do with what Trump was saying about Germany. It was breakfast bummer body language. That Saunders is such a cut up.
When I meet with NATO members I am always concerned about the most important meal of the day. They should have all stayed at a Hampton Inn. They offer a full breakfast with bacon and waffles Because Kelly could have had the waffle woes. I hear they cause, a high level of distraction and frustration and masking smiles and the need to adjust your tie and sip water. I have spent years being objective and scientific in my nonverbal reads. It's so fun to let loose on Saunders humorous excuses. So proud that my body language reads and those of my fellow experts reached the White House’s attention. This is not the first time SAUNDERS has responded to one of my reads. In fact, one read was of her and the next day she was really angry and lashed out at me in the press saying she was not a liar and of course I got death threats. Frightening that body language reads create hate. I am glad my science can point out the truth.

It Sure Looks Like Trump Is Lying About His Agreement With Kim Jong Un


Nonverbal communication is very powerful and as I say in my book SNAP, Making the Most of First Impressions Body Language and Charisma, first impressions can affect your entire feeling about a person or an event.

Last week I read the body language of trump and Kim at the summit that trump claims led to a denuclearization agreement. Even several of the eight journalist I worked with across the world on the story thought that Trump won a concession due to his confident smiling body language prior to off-camera Meeting.


Again in the handshake prior to the meeting and sitting at the conference table at beginning of the meeting that he was confident and cocky and winner.

The problem is he didn’t get a real concession in the agreement as you can read below. Many people I have talked to including since that event think he won.


When we are presented with mismatches between nonverbal communication and a verbal message our brain tends to rely on the nonverbal message to indicate the truth. Once we form a first impression it is very difficult for us to change it. But we do have the written agreement. Remember this is about nuclear war. It’s important that we all take the time to read the actual agreement.

Trump's Body Language, the National Anthem.

I am doing body language reads for the national media on President Trump singing the national anthem last night and how he didn't seem to know the words. Here is one of my body language reads of Trump during the national anthem. This is profoundly telling. If you say you believe in something and that belief is an important part of who you are then your behavior should match your beliefs. 
Trump knows he is being scrutinized. He says he believes in the sacredness of the National Anthem and that it is part of who is an American, but he can't be still and hold is sacred, nor does he sing all the words with commitment. In all my Facebook and blog posts when I see behavior that is in-congruent like this or abhorrent say, such as gross sexual misconduct I am asking that readers examine themselves and work on being congruent to raise the integrity of our country. So, in this case do you say something is important to you, say the national anthem, your family, your faith, your personal integrity, and or your country work to insure that your behaviors match your stated belief.
