She tells how to spot who’s truthful, who’s a bully, and who should be watched closely
Former President Donald Trump’s expression as he glared into the camera that was taking his well-publicized mugshot likely represented more than just a pose devised for use on campaign merchandise, as many have suggested, according to a body language expert.
The position of the muscles on his forehead, around his mouth, and his eyes showed he was on the “cusp of rage,” according to Susan Constantine, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Reading Body Language.”
Ms. Constantine spoke with The Epoch Times about what Mr. Trump’s expression showed, and about other clues she detected during his interview with Tucker Carlson. She also revealed what the body language of the eight debating Republicans told her about whether they were being truthful.
The Tucker Carlson interview with President Trump was released five minutes before the Republican presidential debate began without him in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Aug. 23.
The next day, Mr. Trump surrendered to authorities at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia. After about 20 minutes, he was released on a $200,000 bond.
And shortly after, President Trump posted his mugshot to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. With it, he posted the words “Election interference. Never surrender!” in all capital letters, along with the date, as if to note the historical significance.
Within three days, that post—his first on the platform in 31 months—had been viewed more than 249 million times. And it was helping him rake in millions in campaign cash through the sale of merchandise emblazoned with the image.
President Trump’s body language in the photo shows that it was “taking all he can do not to act” on his rage, Ms. Constantine said.
“When you see the muscles in his forehead pressing down and pulled in, with glared eyes, this is what you would see before a person attacks another,” she said. “His head down, eyes glaring, is like a charging bull. He’s scorned. And he’s feeling it.”
