00:00he seems very certain his body language is always authoritative uh when it relates to
00:06that he's got certain gestures that he uses um there's one very specific one he uses all the
00:12time like finish the job he used that a number of times which is one he uses to accentuate this
00:18is
00:18this one is essentially called the soft warrior that's what they call it is where it's a warrior
00:23like gesture what he really wants to do is to do this which is the sword pointed up like a
00:28uh you know a finger pointed up like a sword but a lot of politicians will avoid that because
00:35it's too over overly authoritative so this little gesture and provides precision but the same times
00:41punches out his message which is finish the job all politicians have had some form of uh media
00:48training there's no doubt however trump bucks the trend with everything that he does so he tends to
00:55speak without thinking it through because i think he's just at that stage where he kind of
01:03believes he's invincible and he just wants to he just wants to like there's very little body language
01:08that he's hiding he just doesn't i'm gonna say doesn't care that's unfair but he he doesn't have
01:14a problem in just speaking whatever his truth is so he tends to speak off the cuff um and you
01:21know
01:21that's kind of both good and sometimes could be seen as bad his body language is very consistent
01:28throughout he will use gestures that are classic authoritarian ones he's got the choppy hand he often
01:38does this one when explaining which means expanding an idea he if he only puts his arms out like this
01:44whenever he's in he knows the audience and responds well to him and he's opening himself up uh to the
01:52audience for their sort of view or applause so if he can control the narrative that's what he wants
01:59he wants to avoid questions no doubt that would put him into a difficult situation so i mean that's not
02:06a body language but he'll tend to respond uh aggressively back to a question that is a question that puts
02:13him on
02:13on into uh into the hot spot if you like he would tend to say that's just a stupid question
02:18what a
02:18stupid question that is to be asking at this time we're talking about something else just you know
02:24like he'll he'll turn things around a classic negotiation tool that he'll use is when someone
02:30is being assertive aggressive towards him he'll combat that back the other way rather than be defensive
02:34at one point he classically kind of did this gripping both wrists um which is like classic sort of
02:42cuffing holding the wrists it's like you're holding yourself back because like if you do this then you
02:48can't express through the hands normally your hands will be expressive which means you're generally more
02:53open this is more you know let's keep it in kind of gesture um so in that moment it would
02:58suggest that
02:59he felt slightly self-conscious or you know what didn't want to uh become too emotionally responsive in
03:07that moment with the answers to his questions other than that yeah classic body language signals
03:11that suggest he is not concerned about showing his opinion or his belief at all he's not being
03:18statesman-like in that way classically where um he's not very sane very much and therefore you read for
03:24the body language the two things are pretty much mirrored classically because his speeches aren't
03:29particularly written they don't actually finish well some of the points don't have natural endings
03:36they sometimes eat that the waffle as you call it or the where it sort of tails off is when
03:41he then
03:42goes off and and does some kind of anecdotal which is really just a thought that he's had in that
03:47moment
03:48which can sometimes be amusing sometimes can be poignant but also sometimes can feel like waffle because
03:55it's really ad-libbed and not thought through if you look at most leaders previously like that they
04:02will be authoritarian i mean churchill was very different because he was uh poetically expressive
04:09um and so he would pull people into his message he'd have a core central message that he'd build the
04:16things around um and he would have he'd speaking like prose whereas trump of course isn't much he's not
04:23polished in that exact same way he's more just raw as opposed to statesman like so there's the there's
04:29your big difference between the two um whereas churchill would they both have that same ability to
04:38tap into an emotion or a group of folks who are disenfranchised uh marginalized for example or people that
04:50have a a kind of common enemy so he's very good at finding that common enemy making the enemy
04:58whomever it is whether it's china or iran and and and painting them as a picture he's very much
05:05uh wants to come across as a leader of the people and to care about their plight and that's very
05:11much
05:11the message i don't think it's actually that deliberate um like it's not necessarily calculated
05:20on that macro scale i think it just ties into naturally what he believes about america about
05:27what why it the way it is and so that that means that everything he's saying is congruent because now
05:35whether he's whether what his beliefs are are beliefs that are uh beliefs that most of us would adopt or
05:42empowering beliefs for the for america in total he's definitely found and continues to find division
