Why Does Trump Fold His Arms When He's Lying? (supporter, security, liberal)

[eureka1]

Very interesting body language.

[JustMike77]

Probably the same reason that Hillary always opens her mouth when she does.

I've noticed that too, he did it when he went all Rambo when announcing his Shock and Awe warning on North Korea...

"Mommy, hold me!"

Basic body language communication: He folds his arms when he feels defensive about what he's saying.

Yet another thread from a hysterical liberal?


You people really have nothing left, do you.

[Hesychios]

Interesting ... I am going to watch for that.

There are several possible reasons, including defensiveness, insecurity, disinterest and anger. It would be a good study, each time he lies (as inevitably he will), check his posture to see how often he crosses his arms as opposed to waving them around, and note the venue.

This.

Folding of the arms is a defensive stance. It puts a barrier in front of the person. Doesn't necessarily mean someone is lying, but it almost always indicates uncomfortableness or uneasiness. It could also just mean the person is cold.

OP...when you dream about Trump is it in color?

You people really have nothing left, do you.

I was going to say this thread was started by a Trump supporter because I can't remember ever seeing him cross his arms.

You have literally never seen him cross his arms? Where have you been, in a hut in Jakarta?
