In addition to these telling clips, there was also one moment that might have been a bit more subtle and you could have missed. Throughout Trump's entire State of the Union address, Pelosi regularly shuffled through her papers while he was speaking to the crowd. While this could just be seen as her trying to be organized, there might be more to the story, particularly since she wasn't the one giving a speech, according to body language expert Patti Wood, author of SNAP: Making The Most Of First Impressions, Body Language, And Charisma.
"Pelosi held up and read her notes near the beginning of the president's [speech] as an obvious and clear and sustained nonverbal message of disbelief and regard for the president," Wood tells Elite Daily by email. "Reading notes is a tactic that I actually have coached speakers to do [during] debates to hold in their nervousness and show their disinterest during debates because [it's] one of the only oddly politically correct ways of showing disrespect and disagreement."
