“As [Trump] was making his way onto the platform, he took a minute to pose away from the crowd, seeming momentarily overwhelmed.
During the instant when his right fist was softly punching the air, James claimed that his face seemed to pucker as he was experiencing an inner feeling.
“It was Melania, in a businesslike grey power suit and the towering Barron who flanked Trump exhibiting the body language signals of strength and support.”
There was a strong feeling that Trump “seeks support and strength” from his wife, who was “promoted to a star in her own right” as she stood behind her husband, according to James. This image was conveyed via Trump’s body language.
“Trump’s gesticulation and touch rituals with her gave the impression that he seeks support and strength from her rather than the other way round,” according to the knowledgeable source.
Melania Trump was smiling with rounded cheeks of pleasure and happiness, and she was showing both her upper and lower teeth in her grins. This was in contrast to President Trump, who chose not to show his teeth while flashing a smile.
