How Donald Trump Couldn’t Mask His Feelings During that Debate

“Trump shows anger throughout the debate,” explained Annie Särnblad in a microexpressions analysis done exclusively for the Daily Beast. “Anger is shown in a tight, clenched mouth,” she added.
Microexpressions are “the universal facial expressions of our species,” which makes them difficult to control and hide, said Särnblad—especially during high-intensity situations such as a debate.
