'Trump is lying': Expert finds 'deception' in 'crucial segment' of ex-president's speech

0

Donald Trump was recently asked about his thoughts on the future of his former ambassador, Nikki Haley, and lied in his response, according to a body language expert.

Trump on Thursday gave a press conference outside the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, where he was asked, "Would you consider having Nikki Haley on the campaign trail for you?"

Trump replied, "I'd love to have her support, yeah. She'd give me – she gave me support, but I'd love to have her go around and campaign."

But the former president's response was filled with red flags that he didn't mean what he was saying, according to Dr. Jack Brown, a renowned expert who has been featured on CNN and ABC News, among others, and has analyzed the 45th president along with previous GOP presidential primary candidates.

"Note as Trump says, 'but I'd love to have her,' he sweeps his right (dominant) hand/arm out laterally, away from him. This is a classic dismissal gesture (i.e., she's trivial, she's inconsequential, she's bothersome, she's an irritant)," Brown wrote Saturday before adding that there is "an additional body language signal here."

"Look carefully at Trump's hand as he sweeps it outward. His right index finger is retracted," according to Brown.

He continued:

"With respect to body language, the index finger on the dominant hand (here, Trump's right hand) is the most powerful digit – signaling the hyper-dominance and confidence (and it's profoundly often misused/abused)... In contrast, when the index finger, particularly on one's dominant hand is retracted, the meaning is the opposite – low confidence, low comfort, and deception."

"Trump is lying," Brown explains.

The expert goes on to flag another moment.

"Immediately after Donald Trump says, 'but I'd love to have her go around and campaign,' Trump displays what is known as a Tight Tongue Jut. A Tight Tongue Jut signals the thought-emotions of disdain, disgust, and repulsion," Brown said. "Note also, Trump closes his eyes as he displays this tongue jut – this eyelid closure, although not a required component of this Tight Tongue Jut serves to accentuate its intensity – much as an infant pushes away creamed-asparagus."

Finally, Brown notes that, "As Trump finishes his answer (speaking the word 'campaign' and for about 2 seconds after, Trump shuffles – shifting his weight from side-to-side."

"This signals Trump's anxiety about interacting with Haley. He's wishing he hadn't said that," the analyst said.

In conclusion, according to Brown, "Donald Trump is lying when he says 'he'd love to have' Nikki Haley campaign for him. Trump doesn't want to interact with Haley at all."

"Donald Trump has contempt for, disdain for, and repulsion toward Nikki Haley. He doesn't want her around," Brown said. "She gives Trump anxiety. He's dismissive of her political value. Trump views Haley as inconsequential and as a pest."
