Trump and Harris Presidential Debate 2024: Behavior and Body Language
Dr. G Explains ^ | 11/9/24 | Dr. G

Posted on 09/14/2024 2:44:02 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

In this video, Dr. G, a clinical and forensic psychologist, dives deep into the body language and behavior of both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump during their highly anticipated presidential debate. Focusing on their nonverbal communication, facial expressions, and gestures, Dr. G analyzes what each candidate's demeanor reveals about their confidence, strategies, and overall presentation.

The debate, held last night in Philadelphia and broadcast live on ABC, was moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis. Key issues included the economy, where both candidates sparred over inflation and job creation, and immigration, with Trump reiterating his strict policies on undocumented immigrants. Harris maintained a composed demeanor, countering Trump’s interruptions with direct responses, particularly on abortion and democracy. Throughout, both candidates aimed to solidify support from their respective bases while attempting to win over undecided voters as the election draws near​.

With the 2024 election rapidly approaching, the stakes are higher than ever. This debate showcased not only the candidates’ policy differences but also the intense personal dynamics between them. Dr. G wraps up with insights into how this debate could impact the race, as polls continue to show a tight contest between the two.

I’ve always believed these so called body language “experts” are basing their evaluation on 10% science 90% Carney gimmickry.

It might be my imagination, but it appeared to me the lighting and camera angles were more favorable to Harris. She was bathed in a softer light than DJT. His face was more shadowy. The camera was pointed upwards toward Trump in a vaguely menacing way.

Anyone else notice this?

Kamala - calculated and phony

Trump - real and authentic

I can’t stand to watch that woman. She makes my flesh crawl. A lot of people have the same reaction.

How about her bouncing, that’s prominent, yet he doesn’t comment. Not in any of my quick dip inventories on Google for body language, yet how can you miss it in her opening answer in particular? “I’m pretty, oh so pretty?” Or maybe, “I know what’s coming next, I’m among friends ( questions or one sided fact checks?)”

After shaking her hand at the beginning, did Trump ever LOOK at her again?

Couldn’t stand Clinton, Obama or Brandon, either. They have all been psychic poison.

They (ABC) manipulated the side by side shots so that Harris who is short was actually slightly taller than Trump

I did not notice that, but I noticed that, on the split-screen view, they made her head bigger. Also, they really lightened her skin for some reason.

Yup.

It’s subtle and most people would never notice it.
