During his hallway comments on Tuesday 21 May 2024, Donald Trump said, "We have a judge that's extremely, [pause] ahhh, let's say complicated. But let's also say conflicted. He's complicated and conflicted. ..."
Trump continues, ..."And, ahhh [pause] it's a very strange situation. Nobody's ever seen anything quite like it."
Trump continues to try to besmirch and intimidate Judge Juan Merchan – who's presiding in the Republican candidate for president's Felony Trial for Election Interference. Of course, this was also another Trump campaign speech.
His jaw thrusts forward to a lesser degree as Trump says, "complicated and conflicted" – and again just prior to him saying, "It's a very strange situation":
As Trump says, "... but let's also say conflicted..." his torso moves laterally (side-to-side). This is a signal of self-righteousness:
Notice too, as Trump says, "Nobody's ever seen anything quite like it", he is elevating on his toes (watch his shoulders). This is another signal of an adrenaline surge and, in this context, a sign Trump feels quite braggadocio when making this statement.
