Image & Body signs of the 1st American presidential Debate 2016

September  27 ,2016 was the 1st presidential debate between the two participants

 Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

The debate last non stop for 90- minutes

lets start with the entrance &  1st image of the 2 candidates and what it reveals

Donald Trump :

Trump shows up with a classical look where he use the classic color contrast rule with the vivid blue color tie the 1st impression is mature updated vivid candidate ,the vivid blue indicates vitality as well as serenity calmness

Hillary Clinton :

Hillary enters with a red color suit in a minimalistic look of accessories and a prominent red lipstick a  classic look to project  the impression that I am standing strong and sending message to audience and Americans that she's there to be heard and seen . she plays power game with the red color and the classic look too

now comes the body language & signals during the debate we see that :

during the hand shake tilted head of Trump shows a receptive mood & smile too from both

but we can see that trump being on the left of the camera  with the hand shake his left hand can make a back hold for Clinton this gesture indicates control more than affection same happened at the end of the debate

Aggressive hand gesture from Clinton also indicates I am in power and relax

-Trump used an aggressive hand gestures more often

indicate  power & strength shows capabilities to lead America & the world according to his rules

-hands & arms moved wide  and most of the debate he was holding the podium ->  more territories and space  wider perspective

-decisive signals also to indicate determination and strong well

being less skillful in political interviews than Hillary he shows more hand and body gestures

while on the other hand Hillary shows less aggressive hand gestures

Hillary used more sentimental aspect , used her hand & arms to grab attention too but in a discrete

less obvious way as to show intimacy and understanding for the American people needs and problems she's talking to a group of friends but with precision and strength

N:B Hand gestures grab attention and increase the impact of communication ,help people to retain more of what is said  but how to use it to serve your cause here come the expertise

see no evil said one of the wise monkeys adult when they rub the eye is the brain attempt to block out things in doubt and not to hear

The debate was seen  and followed world wide ,each candidate has played his best

will see what the American  voters will decide in 2 months time if they want  change in the  America's  internal & external policies or continuation of the  same Obama's policy

and last are the American president who ever is can  dramatically change the American policy/ concept/decision  externally or internally ? will wait and see
