Donald Trump Body Language with Expert in Body Language Mark Bowden

to take a closer look at the nonverbal components of Donald Trump's speech I want to turn out a body language expert Mark Bowden mark good morning to you morning Marcia what did you make over all of Trump's physical presence on a stage last night well you know I thought it was the usual Trump you know he was calm he was assertive he was really in his element there of course he really is a showman he's trained and worked with one of the innovators of show business Mark Burnett for many many years on The Apprentice so we could really expect somebody who knows what they're doing in that environment do you think when you watch him that he is someone that is truly confident and has command of himself and control over his body and what he's saying Oh certainly had command over himself and what he was saying because he was using autocue here a lot of people have commented on that but we were the first times he stuck with it absolutely and he stuck with it that actually calmed his body language down a little bit because he was having to concentrate on that autocue but we were seeing the usual gestures that we get from him so nothing extraordinary about him so what do they he often does this hey okay thing with his fingers and then points a finger right after what does that say what's what's he doing by using that gesture well he's been using that gesture for for the whole of the campaign and years before that as well it's his way of saying that he's authoritative he's in control and everything's going to be right and also that he has his his finger on the delicate ideas there it's that sense of I'm intelligent I'm detailed I know what I'm doing and then he kind of follows it up with the squinty eye and then the pout is that a punctuation mark to what he's just said yet so he has that that stoic look in his chin that in this context he was often playing in profile a lot of the time it's that it's that sense of gone hit me on the chin I can take it it's that powerful male big George s czy that we've seen from many leaders in our in our time back to Churchill Mussolini many have done this profile look gotcha final question about Ivanka because people loved watching her out on stage last night she's very articulate telegenic what did you make of her composure in the way that she spoke she was very nervous apparently well you know I don't think that knows that those nerves showed particularly she did downward intonation with her voice a lot of a lower voice to give that power what was interesting was when he she build up with that power to her end point when she made that end point she do flirt gestures with her hair those those kind of balance out this idea of the strong woman with the the beautiful sexual woman so that that balance there that I think would have made a lot of people like her gotcha we'll leave it there for today mark Baum thanks so much thank you
