Former President Donald Trump appeared deflated and anxious with visibly pale lips during his pre-trial hearing in New York, according to body language experts.
Trump’s demeanor shifted following a hectic day that included a major development in his hush money lawsuit and ridicule from President Joe Biden. Despite a reprieve in his bond in the fraud case, Trump appeared chastened and timid, using signature phrases with less clarity than usual.
Body language expert Judi James noted Trump’s physical unease, highlighting his third-person references and tongue-poking gestures, indicating rejection or disgust. Despite maintaining indignation in his torso posture, Trump’s hunched shoulders and lowered head suggested a sense of defeat as he left the courtroom.
