Trump’s ‘creepy’ flirt with AG Pam Bondi analyzed by expert
Trump’s last Tell came during a Tuesday 26 August, cabinet meeting with present reporters.
While deviating the physical appearances from “outdated” New York Senator Chuck Schumer and “Slob” Illinois Gouverneur JB Pritzker, Trump, 79, looked over the table at Bondi, 59.
“If you are in politics, it doesn’t matter,” the president joked, staring at Bondi. “Look at Pam, I would never say she is beautiful, because that would be the end of my political career,” the married commander -in -chief added, while the room broke out laughing.
“When criticizing the physical appearance of Chuck Schumer and Pam Bondi, that old, animated hand action returns and it is intense,” explains Hongiman.
“At the start of the clip, when Trump mocks the appearance of Schumer, we see the old New York real estate mogul coming up again,” the body language Guru reveals.
“This is ‘Trump Towers Trump’ speaking. From a body language perspective, today’s Trump is considerably different from the Trump of his first term.”
“At that time he used his hands freely, she often kept up for whole speeches, constantly moving while he spoke. Now Trump seems to be more disciplined in the second term, gestures consciously hold and his hands move as little as possible,” Hongiman continues.
“Those Wheeler dealer hands are the signature of the seller, rolling and shifting to distract the ‘customer’. Palms are directed out, the message is: he has nothing to hide.
“The moment he mentions Pam by name, his gestures shift. His hands come closer together and form a narrow channel – a strikingly more affectionate attitude compared to his usual wide gestures.”
“These narrower movements look like a hug, almost a hug. He raises his palms up in a submissive gesture and nods his head apologetically. He can resist Pam to call PAM beautiful, but his body language betrays the thought,” says Hongiman about the true feelings of Trump.
After his compliment for Bondi, Trump brought his hands back on his lap and out of sight of the table.
“After that short moment of vulnerability, Trump withdrew. His hands return to controlled, measured movements and the second term Trump-Persona resumes,” notes Hongiman.
Trump’s remark about Bondi’s beauty rubbed a number of people in the wrong way, with different “creepy” through comments about X.
“What does looks to do with something?” One person asked about the video of the cabinet meeting, while a second claimed: “So sexual harassment is back.”
“Because it is completely appropriate for the sitting president to comment on the physical appearance of his female cabinet members ….” a third person sniffed, while a fourth Trump was called “so inappropriate and coarse.”
Trump has been a fan of Bondi for years and even stated during his first term in 2018 that he would like to add the then Florida Procurur-General to his white house team after the deprivation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“I know her very well,” the president said at the time. “In the meantime, she has a very good job. She is doing very well. She has always done very well. But in some form I would like her in the administration.”
In his second term, Trump brought Bondi as his attorney general.
