Although we cannot see him here, her client Donald Trump, is seated immediately to her right. Beyond these basic facts, we don’t know who is speaking or what is being said in this moment.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="7777"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">However, we can discern Alina Habba’s thought-emotions being displayed here.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="b43e"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">Note the extreme backward-tilting of Habba’s head-neck. Moreover, she’s tilted to her left-side — further distancing herself from the person at whom she’s looking.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="3cea"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">The camera angle here makes it less obvious, yet we can still clearly see her nose is elevated (contracted upward).</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="cdf1"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">In contrast, the same camera angle magnifies the flaring of Habba’s already quite-flared nostrils. The tissue above her upper lip and below her nose is tightened.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1082"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">SUMMARY: Alina Habba’s body language, captured this morning in this courtroom moment, indicates her thought-emotions of strong:</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="3640"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">• Arrogance<br />• Condescension<br />• Disgust</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4008"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">While displaying these emotions may temporarily give a person feelings of superiority and an evanescent false sense of ‘winning’ — with the exception of Donald Trump, there’s no one in this courtroom with whom this expression will build rapport.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e893"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">On the contrary, it will further alienate the judge. In this moment, Habba is working against her client. This display is also self-destructive — not only by increasing Trump’s punishment, but also by diminishing her mental focus and moving her mind further from her emotional baseline.</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="a09e"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans;">All individuals, organizations, and businesses who want to (need to) nuance their understanding of Emotional Intelligence and dramatically improve their Body Language skills — please email me at: Jack@BodyLanguageSuccess.com</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="3cbd"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Ω</span></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="69c7"><i class="markup--em markup--p-em" style="font-family: Gill Sans;">This post and others accompanying it, serve as a reference source for the art and science of Body Language/Nonverbal Communication.

The camera angle is also level with his central face.

There is, however, plenty of verbal abuse, emotional abuse, coercive control/ manipulation.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="d351">Just a few more of the many DARVO-type manipulative examples:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="8521">• “I drew a boundary of abuse and cruel” (0:05)<br />• “No, no — you just did. You just did it.” (0:04)<br />• “If you refuse to do wifely things, then…”(0:12)<br />• “How ‘bout you first?” (0:25)</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2533">More DARVO-type manipulative examples:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="caf6">• “You’re goin’ to take the care and leave me here.” (1:04)<br />• “Hilary, just think of how boxed-in you’ve made me.” (1:05)</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="94ba">… and at 0:42:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e42d">Hilary Crowder: “Then I will ask someone to pick me up. Who would you like me to ask?”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="420a">Steven Crowder: “Oh is that a threat?”.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4db8">This is a profound example of Steven Crowder’s projection, DARVO, and coercive control.</p><p class="graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote" name="ba37">“I can’t call my friends” and “I can be home” — is completely illogical in the context of this argument. Neither have anything to do with Hilary taking the car (it may be in reference to previous arguments).</p><p class="graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote" name="93a2">“The only way out of this is discipline and respect” is extremely manipulative and coercively controlling. It’s objectifying and implies ownership. It reeks of old-testament religious fundamentalism.</p><p class="graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote" name="37cb">“Become someone — listen to me — day in and day out — worthy, a wife worthy” — more misogyny-ownership, religious fundamentalism, manipulation, and profoundly coercively controlling.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="717c">SUMMARY: In this video, Steven Crowder exhibited multiple examples of verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and coercive control toward Hilary Crowder. His impulse control was also substantially reduced during this video. This is classic DARVO manipulation.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1cf9">With high probability, at the moment she heard Steven Crowder say, “I don’t love you, that’s the big problem. I’ve never received love from you…”, Hilary Crowder felt extreme stress and/or fear (for herself and/or her unborn children) and she felt the need to protect them.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2c35">In your personal and professional life, you’ve no doubt been exposed to manipulative & coercive control personalities.

He raises (and then quickly lowers) his buttocks up off (to a height of about 13–16 centimeters [~ 5 to 6 inches]) — and then back down onto his chair.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="8ceb">Provided the translator accompanying this video was accurate — and did not lag too far behind with his translation, the crucial passages correlated with this chair squirming/buttock raising dialogue are as follows:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="9faf">“… because we understood what was happening and what *would* have happened, had you not averted this mutiny and you did that by fulfilling your military duty — and being loyal to the oath, ah, to, ah, safeguard the country — as always happens in such cases — *always* and *everywhere*, the same thing happens after an armed *uprising* — you get *complete* chaos and civil war.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1a53">When a person feels fear, one (of many) behaviors/effects they experience (and virtually always subconsciously) is a tightening of the glutei and pelvic floor muscles.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1a4c">In addition, during the fear response, there’s also an accompanying tightening of rectal sphincter muscles and — in males during fear, a contraction of the scrotum occurs (specifically, of the Cremasteric and Dartos muscles), and thus a pulling-up of the testicles against the body in an effort to protect them.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="0dbd">Three completely different causes can also elicit a similar scrotal muscle contraction, however none of these apply in this particular Kremlin moment:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1784">• Exposure to cold temperatures<br />• Cremasteric reflex<br />• Sexual excitement</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1c3b">Expressed more colloquially, when a person is experiencing fear, many of the muscles ‘down there’ contract.

A cluster of behavior Donald Trump displays when he’s scared and feels backed in a corner includes:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="da64">• Tightening of his jaw<br />• Extending his jaw forward (mild jaw jut)<br />• Flaring his Lips outward (aka a Lip Curl)</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="41b3">Donald Trump also often Lips slightly when he’s frightened. Did you hear it?</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="78aa">It’s crucial to differentiate Trump’s Fear-Lisp from the separate and distinct phenomenon when he lisps on occasions when his oral prosthesis temporarily loosens.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2c0c">Moreover, when he’s in a fear-state, Trump’s mouth doesn’t open as widely as it typically does as he’s speaking (a pattern commonly seen in people in low confidence, high emotional discomfort, and fearful emotional states).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5f6e">The pitch of Trump’s voice also grows higher with his fear — along with the speed of his speech.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="7c32">Trump’s eyes (eyelids) also open wider when he’s frightened (This is an expected and common fear response). It’s more prominent on his left, as Trump’s right upper eyelid is droopy (underlying ptosis).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="82dc">Although his eyebrows are lowered, Trump’s central forehead muscles are contracted and elevated (partially obscured by his hair). This is also a configuration common with fear.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="c06b">Simultaneously, another part of this fear cluster — Trump leans forwards (at his waist) and rounds/hunches his shoulders as his upper arms adduct (pull inward toward midline).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="20e8">Trump exemplified this above-described behavior cluster multiple times during his interview on Fox News.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5c0e">SUMMARY: During Donald Trump’s interview aired last night with Bret Baier, the former President displayed significant fear with both his body language and paralanguage (Lisp of Fear, increased speed, higher pitch).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e0de">Why isn’t Body Language taught in Law School?

We see both of these effects in this image of Trump.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="17e3">It’s very common that during microexpressions/near-microexpressions of fear, we see very brief contractions of these neck muscles (in such evanescent scenarios, these events more typically involve the Platysma muscle and not the sternocleidomastoids).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="574c">*Thus, if we’re observant, during moments of fear, we’ll often see the highly-characteristic and extremely-brief tenting-up of the platysma neck muscles — without any signs of fear on the face.*</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="401e">Although it’s impossible to see w/out an accompanying video, due to the magnitude of Trump’s contraction of both his platysma & sternocleidomastoids, this dynamic probably was of significantly longer duration — an indirect but reliable signal of a deeper level of fear.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5c8a">A Jaw Jut + Laterally Vectored mouth corners + teeth displayed + a Neck of Fear may cause you to ask, “Is Trump in pain?” and/or “Is this a ‘grimace’ expression?” And that would be an astute question — however, in this example, Trump is not in pain. Here’s why…</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="c2ed">If this were an expression of pain, Trump would be:</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="bfa6">• Displaying lower teeth also<br />• He would not be displaying concave-up furrows in his lower eyelids<br />• Additionally (but not required here) if we could see his forehead, we’d see an Elevated Central Forehead Contraction</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ae56">So an important take-home point here is that a “Neck of Fear” configuration can also be “Neck of Pain” display — and this is always an important though-emotion to consider, however, it’s just not the case in this moment with Trump.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ae56"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixPLbW0AkCm_ekMASTqJeo_q3UGmrGpezDlp4kBKI8oSG0b0b8-Mih4mXJhqOS-bSXOS_YL0SYICYOSi6X7ssKsS-2aDq2pp4GFFT7GDWk6Q4dKiAPN8KefKVug6mU1H5N0eCGFh_uRz5E9CmoW7_2LflKbGKbbGlV3geX6JwehXhZFPBDPyGgoSz4-g/s1966/F.Thumb%20Joint%20Extended.Donald%20Trump.Neck%20of%20Fear.Thumbs%20up.Body%20Language.Body%20Language%20Expert.Emotional%20Intelligence.Behavior%20Analysis.Nonverbal%20Communication.Dr%20Jack%20Brown.Duplicitous%20Smile.False%20Smile.Feigned%20Smile.Deception.Fear.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1466" data-original-width="1966" height="449" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixPLbW0AkCm_ekMASTqJeo_q3UGmrGpezDlp4kBKI8oSG0b0b8-Mih4mXJhqOS-bSXOS_YL0SYICYOSi6X7ssKsS-2aDq2pp4GFFT7GDWk6Q4dKiAPN8KefKVug6mU1H5N0eCGFh_uRz5E9CmoW7_2LflKbGKbbGlV3geX6JwehXhZFPBDPyGgoSz4-g/w400-h299/F.Thumb%20Joint%20Extended.Donald%20Trump.Neck%20of%20Fear.Thumbs%20up.Body%20Language.Body%20Language%20Expert.Emotional%20Intelligence.Behavior%20Analysis.Nonverbal%20Communication.Dr%20Jack%20Brown.Duplicitous%20Smile.False%20Smile.Feigned%20Smile.Deception.Fear.png" width="600" /></a></div><br /><p class="graf graf--p" name="b1f1">Now look at Trump’s “Thumbs-up” gesture (illustrator). Note his thumb is hyper-extended (bent backward) in the middle (at the interphalangeal joint).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5c0a">Only the distal portion of his thumb is directed upward — while the remainder of the thumb (second/distal phalanx) ‘wants to stay down’/unextended.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2080">This is a reliable sign that the conscious component of this behavior (the second/distal phalanx pointing upward) is in disagreement with the subconscious component (the first/ proximal phalanx staying unextended) of the thumb.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="d252">This subtle, yet classic thumb-contradictory signal (commonly seen displayed by politicians) is a quintessential manifestation of cognitive-emotional dissonance. Trump displays this behavior often.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e69a">A True/sincere thumbs-up signal is a classic display of optimism. In this example (a feigned thumbs-up), it appears simultaneously with a feigned smile (a fear-disgust pseudo-smile).

His elbow is flexed enough only to elevate his hand to the level of his waist — nor is his forearm raised to a level parallel with the ground (his forearm is angled toward the ground).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2399">If Trump had been enthusiastic (and sincere) regarding a ‘Thumbs-up’ sentiment, his forearm would not be directed down — rather, it would be pointed upward (at a positive slope, relative to the ground).</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5af2">Indeed, the higher the Thumbs-up gesture is held (relative to one’s body), the greater the tendency for the facial expression in that same moment to be in agreement with sincere optimism and joy-happiness. In this example, neither nonverbal behaviors are sincere.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="bc43">Just as a person can tell lies with their words, they can try to tell lies with their body language too (which may be conscious or subconscious displays).
