Being Powerful Distorts People's Perception of Time. Lateness and Power

I have written extensively on lateness as a nonverbal communicator. This article gives you yet another insight. Powerful people distort time, thinking they have more if it. Humm. Could this be another reason powerful prompt can have a issue with being late?

Ivanka's Speech at the Republican Convention

I was asked by the media to read Trump's daughter speech. Overall, she did a great job on her speech last night. She enjoyed herself, though of course she did just show signs of nervousness like pushing back her hair and light rocking motions. If you watch the tape you will see at the Ricky h before and after she pivoted to aim herself at other parts of the audience, She was very good at planting a a big smile on her face. You may know that I've done research on smiling. Her smile was often planted on meaning that it was at full teeth smile and lingered past the natural moment where your smile relaxes. It makes perfect sense that she would have to plant a smile on her face. She was warm and posed and likeable.

Trump's Use of Anger in his Campaign

Something that I find interesting and Trump is his anger. I've been analyzing him for so long and throughout this campaign I have noticed a change. He used to have a broad emotional range. If you my newsletter you know that I've been talking to lot about anger in the campaign. He chose to do this last speech, his acceptance speech, with a down word scowl on his face. Again, He didn't start the campaign this way. He is made a conscious decision to show anger as his main emotion and downward turning of the mouth as his resting face that is the expression he uses when he pauses and is not talking.

Trumps hug to Melania Trump at Convention.

Interesting, I am analyzing Trumps hug of his wife last night. US Weekly wants my read. Actually, it was not even a real hug. He held both her arms cupping his hands around her forearms to keep her at a certain distance from him. She also didn't go in close. There was heart to hat contact. No warmth. The extra peck he gave to her was an ownership peck to indicate, "she's mine I can do what I want with her." It's very distinct ice and different from that extra peck would give to somebody because we just love them so much and we want to just given that little bit of affection. Yes,They just pecked at each other.
it is important to know if the person being read has a an issue with PDA. Typically low PDA is associated with introversion and high C (on the DISC personality inventory. ) He is extroverted and a high D. He does not show warm affectionate touch. I went back and looked at candid photos. He gives sexual touch and dominance touch! And he shows aggressive body language overall.
