...Wood, author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, added: 'Obama was extremely fatigued, resigned and not hopeful but very presidential.
'Trump was serious and showed indications he heard information that made him fearful.'
Trump and the first lady in waiting, Melania arrived at the White House on Thursday morning through a back entrance that opens up to the White House's South Lawn.
The private drive is inaccessible to media, and reporters were disallowed from covering the historic greeting between the incoming and outgoing first families....

You know that thought was in the back of my mind when I posted my comment. But I still think a threat like that would piss him off more than scare him.
>> un-Trump like
LOL... your concern is noted.
This body language expert is ridiculous. She can assume any emotional “read” in that she wants.
Obama’s legs and feet pointed outward so far only indicate his outer gluteal and outer leg muscles are tighter than his inner leg muscles. He likely has low back and or hip issues, maybe even knee issues if ITB and outer ligaments are tight and pulling his knee cap outward. And if he does not already have those problems then sitting like he is in the picture repeatedly can easily lead to those problems. Patterns like this start in childhood. You can see when he walks he has uneven flow of leg movements. He needs to stretch more and lessen his repetitive golf playing. I know plenty of old folks who are so messed up muscle wise from playing their favorite sport like golf or tennis or even just walking repetitively many days a week, let alone whatever their job was through their life. It’s really not healthy for the muscles to do the same thing so often, they need variety and they need proper rest/recovery time.
Just as Trump rounds his shoulders.
Everybody from childhood has muscle/bone patterns which they can choose to grow into better balance or let get more out of balance over their life. It doesn’t have to mean anything about their personality or what they are trying to hide or express.
I’m sure Obama sits wide spread legged often, not just trying to show dominance over Trump.
Sure enough, after watching the video a second time it's pretty obvious they gave Obammie the big "prez" man chair, and Trump the littler kiddie chair by comparison. How mature.
As for the idiotic "man-spreading" feminist BS analysis, I'll play along. Looks to me like alpha Trump is spread about as far as possible in the kiddie chair the childish WH minions designated for him. Meanwhile beta girly boy Obama looks like a little kid in his big boy chair, not "spreading" to the arm rests at all like Trump, despite his sad, failing quest for man-spreading dominance.
Such utterly ridiculous feminazi nonsense.
True. He more seems like the type who would get very pissed if he was threatened.
1. Yes.
2. The Federal Reserve.
Trump can take care of himself.
Phooey! We all know that Obama plans to stay around in D.C. area, and every time Trump brings out another policy or whatever, which is either cancelled, or changed, then Obama will find a willing CNN reporter who will allow Obama to whine at his heart’s content .. telling the world that Trump is destroying his legacy.
I was hoping Trump told Obama .. if you do that .. I will challenge you .. and expose the ugly truth of all the stuff you’ve done.
Well .. I can dream can’t I ..??
This is stupid. Obama is scrawny in a big chair. Trump is a big man in a smaller chair. Trump’s legs are spread as far as they can go. Was he supposed to hang them over the chair arms?
Ridiculous article.
GEEEZ; have a drink and calm down, if Obuttf#ck had anything on PRESIDENT TRUMP he would have used it in the election, especially on Monday with no time to react or counter punch.
So silly!
Yes it is and what is even more silly is the amount of attention in this forum a story like this is getting.
What this lame piece is attempting to do is cast doubt on Trumps masculinity and is actually comparing him to the head Metrosexual in order to make the point.
Silly doesn’t begin to describe this article and the thread (and me for even bothering too respond.)
I don’t know that I would pin any petulance on Obama over chair size.
This IS the Oval Office. Visitors are supposed to be intimidated. Indeed, the whole layout of DC was done to impress and intimidate visiting dignitaries.
Making visitor chairs uncomfortable, is an old trick. Those chairs have been in the OO for a while. And Barry is the sitting POTUS until 1/20/17.
“...Obama has something on Trump...”
No way. If anything, Trump was even more fully realizing how Barry tried to bring down our country and was trying to process the enormity of the evil that he has to overcome now (and will!).
Obama is obnoxious and I am sure it was an uncomfortable lecture that Trump had to sit through. Climate change, Obamacare, etc.
I’m thinking obama talked down to him and droned on for one and a half hours and his world view and policy. It was supposed to be a fifteen minute meeting. He looked bored and irritated to me.
THE most rational comment in this whole discussion. Right on!
