Today after saying Hillary Clinton is getting "pumped up", Donald Trump challenged her to a drug test prior to Wednesday's Presidential Debate in Las Vegas.
At multiple times during his statement, Donald Trump displays a jaw jut. While a jaw jut often accompanies anger - there are no other nonverbal (or verbal, or paralanguage) signals of anger in this message.
When a jaw jut is seen outside the context of anger (depending on the other nonverbal signs with which it is clustered), it indicates bravado and hubris - and it's these emotions Mr. Trump was feeling throughout this segment (and yet he felt another ... ).
During 0:15, just after he says, "Let's see", Trump displays a Loose Forward Tongue Jut (aka Lizard Tongue) - as he launches is challenge. This nonverbal symbol is significant for the emotions of "I've been bad" and/or "I've been caught".
Summary:
Today Donald Trump challenged Hillary Clinton to Pre-Debate drug test. In so doing, he displayed particular hubris and bravado - however he also believes he's been bad and has been caught.
