Meeting Trump-Obama Body Language at the White House







0n the 10th of November 2016 president Obama and incoming president Trump held their 1st meeting at white house here are some remarks of their body language and what it  reveals

-Chairs position where arranged in a way to project friendly discussion or friendly gathering(with  an angle )  nevertheless a look at their faces and their bodies  positions doesn't say so

-Trump has a lower  steeple hand position  register confidence and a hide feeling of superiority with the smile on the face he is more comfortable and we know why
(steeple hand gesture usually taken by bosses and higher rank positions ) 

- for Obama the clinched hands show a body barrier and consider somehow negative attitude


-both sit with open legs as indication of openness
although both are well trained to project a positive image but as I said body language project the true feeling of each


- no proper eye contact where observed during the press conference between the two except once

-a twisted smile from Obama which  indicates only one message -> sarcasm


-while Obama states that the priority is to facilitate transition and ensure that the president elect is successful his eye were looking away instead of looking to the person in charge







As president Obama say in his announcement about the cooperation  with the new president but a blink to his eyes movement indicates that his talking to him self not to the elected president


these  are few remarks of the body language during the 1st brief meeting of the president and the incoming president of the united states of America at the white house and as I always said

People can say any thing but the truth reveal by their unconscious body language
