Despite a challenging jury selection process, the trial against former President Donald Trump for hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels is underway in New York. Amidst cameras capturing his every move, Trump maintains a stoic demeanor, determined to avoid displaying any signs of weakness.
However, body language expert Judi James believes that Trump’s ‘alpha traits and behaviors’ could be tested in the courtroom setting. While acknowledging that Trump appeared physically restrained, she noted his efforts to maintain a strong and unwavering presence.
As Trump entered the Manhattan courtroom, he raised his fist in a gesture of defiance and reiterated his claims of political persecution, criticizing the trial as a ‘witch hunt’ that prevents him from campaigning for the upcoming presidential election.
James observed subtle signs of vulnerability in Trump’s pre-court behavior, such as a flaccid raised fist and inward sucking of lips. However, once inside the courtroom, he regained his stoic and assertive demeanor, reflecting his determination to maintain a dignified image despite the challenges he faces.
