Just Saw A Clip Of 45Pee & Trudeau Posing For The WH Press For Pics......

Look at 45Pee's body language in that clip. He looks tired, bored and nervous. He is not sitting up straight in his chair. He's hunched over. Legs spread. Arms resting on his knees. Hands/fingers nervously tapping against each other. It looks like that was the last place on earth he'd rather be. He looks very self conscious - almost like he is out of his league there.

I wonder if there are any body language specialists around that can analyze that clip?

As I knew it would be. They have nothing in common and I would guess Trump either doesn't know anything about Trudeau or Canada, or he hates Trudeau for being so liberal and refugee-friendly.

I keep thinking back to this article from the other day from that alleges the FBI and DHS are saying our border is of more concern than the Mexican border. I have a feeling Trump is going to do to Trudeau what he did to Turnbull.

He was sitting in that chair, slumped and awkward. He kept tapping his finger tips together, in a nervous manner. Hard to tell if it was impatience or true nervousness. But it was very noticeable and in comparison to Trudeau, seemed odd.

I just thought I'd add a little color to it (yellow). That's why I refer to Trump as 45Pee. Maybe it will catch on!!!!!

He's thinking up his new gambit. I recommend the tried-and-true "Tickling Their Palm With His Middle Finger" technique, which always seemed to work with Pootie-Poot.
