Although Carney is not passive, he does appear a little afraid and is cautious not to come out as extremely strong.
“Although he is clearly determined to avoid dominance, his posture conveys respect for the interaction. A certain amount of deference is evident in the little dip of his head.
Trump ‘raises his right shoulder’ as Carney taps his elbow, according to the body language expert, which she describes as a ‘typical dominance indication’.
Dawson went on to say: “Trump’s stance is first a little bent, suggesting a friendly stance, but he quickly shifts to a more
Upright position and lifts his fist in a rebellious gesture, an obvious demonstration of power.”Throughout, Carney maintains a fixed smile and steady eye contact.”
Dawson claims he ‘clasps his hands in a self-soothing motion and glances up at Trump for cues’ when facing the cameras, which she describes as “again revealing a hint of unease.”
