Body language expert analyzes Trump, Pelosi and Schumer

There are dozens of these videos and the ones I watched are not interesting. I picked this one because I like the arrows on the key frame. Then, one minute in I can see the guy flat does not know what he is talking about and I can only become more annoyed by watching any further.

Some people are just dumb. And arrogant.

It's all right there to behold with your own eyeballs. Then your brain is given the task of interpreting what it is you just saw and this guy has no grounding in Earthly reality. Something else is there in his brain making him see the wrong things. Perhaps partisanship. I don't know.

"This is such a clear ambush by Pelosi and Schumer. They sprung it on Trump."

He must be thinking in advance of viewing that Pelosi and Schumer awfully clever and Trump dreadfully stupid. Those prejudicial opinions must be clouding what he is seeing.

Maybe he's right. It's conceivable they spoke with each other before accepting the invitation and planned such an ambush.  But it's also clear they both expected the media to be excused and that is the greater ambush. They said so. Trump ambushed Pelosi and Schumer not the other way around. The two Democrats are incredibly uncomfortable with transparency. And they said so. It's much harder to be duplicitous and that makes them clearly uncomfortable .And both of them issued incredibly perverted statements following this ambush.

This analysts has it exactly backwards.

So I'm thinking, "Oh man, don't tell me it's happening again. I am right and the rest of the whole world is wrong. Again." It happens.

But I slip down to comments instead of listening to this guy bluster and bloviate, voice is annoying, and see most the commenters agree with me. They saw what I saw. And that's a bit comforting.

Body language. Unless people actually speak body language there is little point in listening to them speaking about body language.

Maybe the guy says sensible things after 1 minute, but I wouldn't know because I stopped listening.



Even his arrows are wrong. Nancy isn't zooming anything on Trump, she's telling him settle down while she is speaking. She interrupts every sentence brooks no interrupting herself. All three are communicating with their hands. Trump says openly and acceptingly "see what we have here" with his hands and earlier and later says "stop. I'm speaking now" as Nancy says "shut up, I'm talking" with her extended hand.  Both men comfort themselves by petting their their own hands. They both make upside down steeple, a power configuration. And they all point accusingly, j'accuse...! Their body language fairly matches their vocalizations. There is nothing mysterious or coded to figure out. All three are aggressive. 

Verbally, all three go for cheap polemic points. 

Nancy: I'm the leader of the House and we just won an important election
Schumer: Elections have consequences, Mr. President
Trump: That's why we're doing so well. 

That's nice, Children. Let's take a break and reassemble in five minutes for round two of our Middle School debate.

While Pence is alone in his world. He doesn't want to be there and he shows that.

None of them lie with their bodies. Their bodies match their vocalizations.  

I suppose body language experts can give us some insights. Sometimes. But judging by the first minute, I don't think this one does.

Schumer is playing along. Boy does he look old. what's going on with the shape of his head?

This will sound naive of me but what I can't stand is not Schumer's blatant disrespect for Trump, it's his disrespect for President Trump. You don't disrespect the office.

Most of the "analysts" agree Trump nailed them by getting this in front of the cameras.

She interrupts every sentence brooks no interrupting herself.

Classic Lefty.

"Body Language Expert"
Translation: Bullshit Artist*

Sorry, but you're not an "expert" if you're pointing out stuff that everyone else can see. And you're really not an "expert" if you're "expert" observations have no objective factual foundation. The judge has ruled that this is not an expert opinion much less a reliable expert opinion.

*This person doesn't even qualify as an artist given the amateurish technique and all around lack of artistry. This person is just a liar.

Heard a rumor that Schumer has a tumor. His head's getting' ready to esplode!

Schumer has a tumor but that's just a rumor. What's for sure is he has no sense of humor.

That misshapen head is where a piece of Chick's brain is missing. I'm surprised that his skull has collapsed to the point of making it obvious.

BTW, Nancy's hair looks a bit odd as well. Her exaggerated part makes her look like an early chemotherapy patient. Either that or a bad dye job. She needs to go back into the shop for a touch up.

Look, I don't normally bring these petty things up, but her party members keep insisting that "orange man" rhetoric be inserted into coverage of Trump. Goose/gander.
