Rationalization Rapport Empathy Expression

It's important here to emphasize that the person who is displaying this dynamic facial movement - is not feeling Empathy or Rapport - but they're trying to evoke these emotions in other people

It's manipulative

strongly resembles disgust

but it's accompanied by a side-to-side ("No") head movement

Verbal language accompanying the R2E2 is virtually always refuting statements

This is a quintessential example of the importance of correlating verbal and nonverbal behavior

Another word is conspicuous in its absence

If he had true conviction in his denial, he should have said, "I'm no puppet" or "I'm not a puppet.

Trump left out the word "I" because he doesn't believe his own words

This is especially true when "I" is one of the most commonly spoken words across almost all languages

His omission of the word "I" is amplified even further given Trump's narcissism

When a person with such a strong ego leaves off the first person singular pronoun - particularly in such an important rebuttal - red flags are raised

on occasion

frequently

particularly important moments

immediately following

Trump's multiple nodding agreements are very clear nonverbal demonstrations that his subconscious agrees with Clinton regarding his clandestine cooperation with Putin - as well as with Russia's cyber attacks

Joker Smile

This deliberate and hyperbolic expression of insincere surprise combined with an insincere smile is

always duplicitous

While everyone uses this expression once in a while, those who use it often

have a very high correlation with Antisocial Personality Disorder (commonly termed, 'Sociopaths')

Blushing

denial

extremely high correlation with deception

The recent summit in Helsinki has refocused attention on specific events surrounding the 2016 US Presidential Election. One of these moments was a crucial portion of the third debate held on 19 October - twenty days prior to the election. What follows is anonverbal analysis of that exchange.DONALD TRUMP (continuing at 27:21):CHRIS WALLACE (over-talking):DONALD TRUMP:HILLARY CLINTON:DONALD TRUMP (over-talking):HILLARY CLINTON:DONALD TRUMP (over-talking):HILLARY CLINTON:DONALD TRUMP (over-talking):HILLARY CLINTON:During 27:51 - 27:52, as he says, "" - candidate Trump displays a classic(abbreviated as R2E2).. They are trying to get you to rationalize - and often while rationalizing themselves.The Rationalization Rapport Empathy Expression, e.g., "", "", or ". It should jump out at you. Donald Trump did NOT use the word "I"." When a person says, "" - or "", their words don't carry anywhere near the weight, intentionality, or the emotions as, "" and "".. Trump is not taking ownership.All mentally-healthy human beings make this expression- but you should beware when you see the R2E2 usedor during. This behavior is a screaming red flag.Donald Trump's nonverbal and paralanguage behavior indicates he's trying far too hard to convince us that he's not acting in concert with Vladimir Putin.The full expression of the R2E2 nonverbal cluster is impossible to capture in a still image. Please watch the video several times at regular speed, 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed - and once again at regular speed to fully appreciate this behavior in context.At multiple times during Secretary Clinton's response, Donald Trump nods his head up-and-down in a classic "Yes" affirmation. Trump nods five times in only 43 seconds,Clinton saying,"...If candidate Trump disagreed with Secretary Clinton, he should have been shaking his head side-to-side in a "No" gesture (illustrator) after each of his opponent's statements, rather than in a "Yes" up-and-down dynamic.Mr. Trump only took four drinks of water during this 90-minute debate. It's not a coincidence that one of these occurred during 28:03 - 28:05, just after his puppet denial, and immediately after Secretary Clinton said, "...Anxiety acts quickly to dry up one's mouth and sudden thirst is a powerful indicatorof this emotion.While anxiety alone does not imply deception, when taken in context with other verbal, paralanguage, and nonverbal indicators seen here - Trump's sudden dry mouth is highly suspicious.Another strong anxiety tell is Trump's adjustment of his microphone. Donald Trump is very skilled at NOT touching his face when he's experiencing anxiety or while lying - which is highly unusual (although of course, he does occasionally do so). Most people - both the honest and the deceptive - touch their faces' far more often than the President does.However, a surrogate behavior for facial touching is microphone adjustment - which Trump does fairly often. In the segment discussed here, he does so during 28:10 - 28:12, just after Hillary Clinton says, "Another dramatic insight into Trump's thought-emotions is displayed just after Clinton says, "...Trump smiles(28:20)This display is particularly important to watch at regular speed, 1/4, 1/2, and again at full speedThe image immediately above shows him just as his smile is forming. Note that his left side begins first - with the right side of his mouth momentarily suppressing it.A split second later (also during 28:20), Trump closes both eyes in a variation of a "" (referring to court jesters, scary clowns, and thevillain). None of the candidate's teeth are visible and the shape of his mouth opening is completely wrong. Trump's mouth is vectored strongly to the sides (laterally) - rather than primarily vertically as it would be during a sincere smile. His bottom lip is curled momentarily out.A second later (during 28:21), Trump's center forehead elevates simultaneously with his false mouth smile.(as Trump does, and not coincidentally, Putin as well)Notice also, that Trump blushes during this moment.while(feigned smiling) duringhas an: Donald Trump's nonverbal behavior during this segment of the third 2016 Presidential Debate indicates he knew Russia was in the midst of a cyber-attack on the United States, that he welcomed it, and that Trump does, in fact, believe that he is subordinate to Vladimir Putin.See also:
