Obama’s Vs Trump's

What do Obama’s

and Trump's body signals mean?

I have noticed many responses regarding relationships or biases based on the two men, and / or commenting on the nature of the situation.

I will completely ignore everything, EXCEPT the real body language.Body language can be dissected into groups, formed by smaller gestures and easy to classify.

I would very much like to present all this with the fact that these are unconscious gestures. It is very unlikely to be tested, although that can happen sometimes.

Let's start with Obama.

(Note: I cannot take into account the direction in which they are sitting because the chairs were probably placed for them, and there are only two available)

what-do-obamas-and-trumps-body-signals

Head / Shoulders: Your head and shoulders are both oriented in the same direction, indicating that you are not trying to hide where your attention is. Your neck / shoulders are relaxed and erect, not defensive.

Meaning: is focused

Face: 

           His face shows a relaxed expression, with a slight smile. It is very likely to be an educated smile, not a genuine smile because your mouth is closed. It is too far away to confirm if your eyes are also "smiling" (wrinkles can also hide this)

Meaning:

               you are trying to be polite, you may feel uncomfortable

Hands / Hips: As with the shoulders, your hips are aligned with your body. It is not hiding its focus.

Now here is the true story. His fingers are entwined on his genitals. Many strange people this. The cord of the fingers is defensive; He is trying to block the coming attacks. 

That is, it is covering your trash. Which means you are uncomfortable (but not so uncomfortable as to defend your neck / vital organs). 

He does not trust something about the situation, or the people who are in front of him (or more likely) in the man sitting next to him.

Meaning:
               He is not trying to hide his attention, but shows defensive gestures. He feels uncomfortable and tries to hide it.

Feet / Knees: 
                    Your legs are extended, which means you are open to new things that come your way, and your feet point outward. 



He is showing confidence, and the person in the room with whom he feels most comfortable / likes is probably off camera.

Meaning: 
                He seems confident while trying to be fine with the situation.

In general: 
                It is mostly relaxed, although perhaps a little awkward. He also distrusts the situation or a person in the situation, but he is not going crazy about it or anything.

Head / Shoulders: Your shoulders and head are pointed in different directions. There is a lack of harmony here. Not pointing your shoulders towards whatever your focus has shows that you are trying to maintain control by pretending not to be as interested as you really are. 

Their shoulders are also hunched forward, instead of leaning back, which closes the attackers of their vital organs. Keeps the head down to hide the neck.




Meaning: He is trying to exhibit more confidence than he really feels, and is prepared for an attack.

Face: it's too far to tell if he's grinding his teeth, but he has a similar smile on his lips, like Obama

Meaning: is trying to be polite

Hands / Hips: Your knees, like Obama's, are out, showing an open-type gesture to new ideas.

And, again, like Obama, his hand is where he really is. What he is doing is called Steepling (google, if you don't believe me).  



Safe personalities tend to fit. People sure of themselves and sure of what they are doing. Sometimes they can be smarties or arrogant. If you see someone you're talking to, be careful. 

They probably think that they are better than you or that they know better than you, and if you feed on that, they are very likely to feel comfortable with you.

Back to Trump ...

Meaning: He is steep and therefore feels he has everything under control. His legs are extended because he is open to the situation.

In general: Trump is nervous / uncomfortable, while simultaneously feeling that he can handle everything that comes his way. You probably feel insecure about exactly what will happen, but you are sure you can take care of that. He is showing aggressive and defensive postures.

Something interesting to keep in mind is that their positions indicate a certain opening, while defending themselves against any of that counterproductive opening. 



I would translate it to want things to go well, but to be very aware of the fact that people may not be friendly with him.


My last word on this is that Obama seems mostly relaxed, probably because he has already done this kind of thing before, while Trump is nervous. It's understandable, because as much as he has been conducting a campaign so far, the shit is about to become very, very real to him.
