Last night in the first of the three planned 2016 Presidential Debates, Donald Trump committed many unforced errors - one of which is discussed below.
During 1:27 - 1:28 in the above video excerpt, Mr. Trump can be seen committing a body language faux pas that he repeated throughout the night.
Despite his extensive experience in the reality show television world, Trump seems not understand microphones. By bending down to his mic - he subordinates himself to Hillary Clinton - while the democratic candidate did not stoop to speak. This effect is amplified because he's fairly tall (6'2") compared to her (5'7").
Donald was beta to Hillary's alpha. And he sought this out.
