From Kamala's Looks at Trump to That Handshake, Breaking Down the Debate Body Language w/ Dr. Donna

KLA Harris Let's Have a good debate you see you have fun thank you welcome to you both it's wonderful to have you it's an honor to have you both here tonight go ahead yeah so most definitely she had an agenda that she was going to shake hands because probably had been noted before that it didn't happen with Biden and Trump so she extended her hand first um I saw a couple still photos afterward and and you know it's the first time strangers physically touch each other and we pretty sensitive to that so she had a long stretch with her arm more so than him but he didn't pull her in you know like we can or you see sometimes males do he actually pmed up a little bit and gave her yeah almost definitely because he's a large person compared to many people and he's very aware of how he handles his body from when he's sitting he might you know put elbows on knees to to take a smaller position in the room or if he wants to be larger but he definitely had gave her the slight Palm up and let her have the handshake even though he kept his elbow bent more than she did and then she crossed the room so yeah that was one of the first things that everybody noticed so he wasn't trying to do a Power move on her in response to her attempted power move on him he did not he did not they both did a couple things really well um let's look at how you dress um you know he had the traditional I mean he dresses very well you know at this point in his life the Red White and the blue very intentional both had the flags on you know the the uh you know the little details but they did a pretty good job with her as well they knew to put her in a suit um a slight heel nothing that would be wobbly uh and her top very modest on the chest area and the way the the fabric flapped over kind of simulate a tie but not be as masculine as a tie uh neutral Nails neutral makeup hair done so I would I would give to them both that they knew that they were going to be on a global stage and to dress the part yeah and no distractions in the dress that's really what you want to avoid in their position no no one should be thinking about your dress your jewelry or you know your Hair Etc um she did in the first half an hour of the debate have quite a few facial reactions to what he was saying we've got a bit of a a video montage put together can you talk about what you noticed on her her physical reactions to his his statements we we can just play it and talk over it yes right so that's putting the hand to the chin is very intentional because typically we don't touch our faces unless we want to trigger a reaction or an emotion and typically when you see the hand to the face it's an evaluation so she's subtly or very overtly uh considering what he says but the smile on the face it's not a genuine smile that would be a dou shame smile says that she's entertained or amused by what he's saying and yes um as part of her prepping she knew that she would look at him often and as part of Trump's prepping he was not going to look at her he was focused straight ahe Head Hands almost never left the podium unless they were making a point which they both at that point used their hands to draw you know to make the point open palms for both of them except at one time in U Harris's final takeaway where she had a slightly closed fist to make her point in the passion that went with it you know that she was really ramping up on Her speech other than that uh both Trump and Harris did have similar use of hands um one of the things that we did notice about Harris was when she started speaking that she had some stress that you could see coming through on the cartilage in her throat you could almost see the lines the muscles or the cartilage and she had a slightly elevated tone which indicated a little bit of stress but as the time went on that went away and it softened around her neck yes she also definitely had some dry mouth which you could hear we actually pulled an example of that my team's amazing they got an example of everything here's sat 61 same old tired Playbook a bunch of Lies what the Wharton School has said is Donald Trump's plan would actually explode the deficit Donald Trump hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of roie Wade and they did exactly as he intended what do you make of that we call that it wasn't lip smacking but it was definitely dry mouth you know whereas when we look at um over a hundred micro expressions of the face from the squinting of the eye does it match the face to the raising of the eyebrow like a surprise uh to being sarcastic in response to uh to pursing of the lips like he had almost like a doughnut or a pursing at one point when she was talking about something you know almost when you close your lips tightly together that you don't you you're literally holding the words in so you don't say them um you know we look for symmetry in Beauty and everything and in our faces and when we break cemetry with a smirk or a disgusting or a tilting of the head it it catches our attention because something is going on inside their head that that's being displayed through their bodies and that's what we try to pick up on because technically you could turn the you could turn the sound down and we'd be able to figure out a lot of what they're saying just on how they're engaging or not engaging with each other that's what what the challenging part is that we were limited what did you make of the fact that Trump didn't look at her we noticed that ourselves last night he was straight ahead and she kept looking over at him so what what does that say about both of them well they were they had good training is what it says and they spent a lot of time and his Camp said you will not look at her because perhaps they didn't want him to be distracted by her theatrics right of the of the this of the this of The Smiling of the pulling back remember she's a prosecutor so she's she too is comfortable if you will on some sort of a stage by presenting how she wants the story to look as is he on on a you know a public platform of how where he wants to stand and what he wants to do so they both went in with an agenda that she would look at him and he would not look at her a few times where where the clock was located you would see his eyes go up to watch the time and that's when his eyes became physically bigger but I think it was really interesting in when we analyze Trump from previous times you know there's been a lot about his coloring or his makeup and or his hair this time there's not really been much talk which has been interesting because somebody in his uh Entourage has figured out not to have that tinted or that orange as some people have said and to style the hair that it's flattering to the camera this time which is an improvement he did not look orange last night he looked like just a little tan like a golfing guy as opposed to his his sort of signature color as a kid you loved eating cereal right but as an adult you don't want all that sugar and most cereals do not have the protein you need but
