Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3671: Trump's and Pence's Tweets - Body Language and Emotional Intelligence (PHOTOS)

Donald Trump has once again landed in trouble with his tweets - in what many are saying is attempt to capitalize on the tragic death of Dwayne Wade's cousin in an effort to gain the African-American vote. From a nonverbal perspective, Trump's tweets are also alienating the electorate.

The images above and below are those which Trump has chosen for his Twitter page.

In the photo above Trump's expression is indicative primarily of disgust with an element of contempt. In his individual image below, Mr. Trump is projecting critical evaluation and contempt along with some anger.

Governor Mike Pence's expression is an amalgam of disgust, critical evaluation, anger in addition to clandestine disagreement/clandestine plan.

Are these emotions that both Mr. Trump and Governor Pence feel toward Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? Probably - or at least they would have you believe such to be true.

Will these emotions help to build and solidify their political base? To fair degree this is true.

Will the feelings being projected here help to win over the swing voters? No - they will absolutely not for these are rapport destroying emotions.
