EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump could have been getting a bit hot under the collar yesterday when he met Vladimir Putin, displaying the classic behaviour of someone who has a “man crash”, an expert has claimed
A body language expert has shed light on Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin, claiming the MAGA man has a “man-crush” on the Russian leader.
The pair engaged in talks lasting almost three hours last night after arriving in Anchorage, Alaska, attempting to forge a peace settlement for Ukraine. There had been speculation they might remain in bilateral discussions for up to eight hours whilst seeking to conclude the ongoing three-year conflict.
Inbaal Honigman, celebrity psychic and body language expert, speaking on behalf of Oddspedia to the Daily Star said Trump’s behaviour was “subtle” in the presence of Putin. “Trump’s body language is usually maximalist. He uses broad arm gestures and varied facial expressions, and generally does not shy away from a non-verbal cue,” said the expert.
“Putin, on the other hand, is a body language minimalist. He uses small gestures to convey big meanings, and his facial expressions are more subtle.
“Following the Alaska peace talks, as they address the world’s media, president Trump’s body language was more subtle, echoing his Russian counterpart.
“Trump’s mirroring of Putin’s nonverbal communication shows that he wants to curry favour with the former KGB officer, and perhaps has a bit of a man-crush on him.”
The two leaders departed their crucial discussions yesterday without securing an agreement, with “ceasefire” notably absent from their public statements.
Following Putin’s opening remarks – in which he spoke of the two countries’ “neighbourly” connections – Trump acknowledged they had been unable to finalise an official agreement despite their lengthy discussions.
The President expressed gratitude to his Russian counterpart for the “profound” remarks and characterised their encounter as “very productive”.
He stated: “There were many, many points that we agreed on. I would say a couple of big ones, but we haven’t quite got there, we’ve made some headway. There’s no deal until there’s a deal.”
Trump, who typically displays enthusiasm during public appearances and regularly fields press questions after significant events such as this, seemed “downbeat” according to observers, presenting a notably “subdued” manner.
Matt Dimmick, the former Russia director for the US office for the secretary of defence, suggested his demeanour likely indicated the US had found it difficult to achieve progress with Russian negotiators. He commented: “The fact that both of them went up, gave brief statements, talked in vague terms and had really no concrete deliverables to discuss with the press, I think, says everything about this particular sit-down.”
