Donald Trump is not looking so good these days. The burnt sienna makeup is not applied properly. I don’t know why it’s rocket science to take the makeup to the hairline. I can guarantee you makeup artists in Hollywood do it every day and you would think a *star* like Trump could hire one of those people, now wouldn’t you? Or, what about Melania’s *stylist* who spends a lot of the MAGA contributions on making her happy? Maybe Herve could grab a bottle of makeup and a sponge and work for five minutes, ya spose?

But Trump’s natural dead white pallor is the last thing he needs to worry about hiding. His true feelings are coming out and Dr. Jack Brown, who is an expert in the science of kinesics, or body language, has a glimpse into the floofy-coiffed, addlepated darkness which is the GOP candidate. The last three election cycles, this is the best the Republicans have to offer, ladies and gentlemen. Behold.

I think this is probably how Trump feels about all capable women. I’m no defender of Nikki Haley, but she’s a professional woman and a politician and I think she scares the living hell out of Trump just by being that. Plus, and this is comical, Jared Kushner’s parents like Haley and supported her bid for president. Jailbird and father of Jared, Charles Kushner, called Haley “the first woman president.” Say, there’s a thought. Trump could pull a Biden and pass the torch to Nikki Haley. And in all truth, if Trump was a company man, so to speak, and thinking of the GOP as an institution to preserve, he might be having some kind of strategic thoughts vis a vis Haley. Not a chance, Trump being Trump.

I thought it would be a far more balanced and compelling GOP ticket to put Haley on as Trump’s VP and that thought was not unique unto me. I’m sure Haley would have accepted. They were all salivating to get invited on Trump’s doom cruise. But if this Doctor of Kinesics is right, Trump can’t stand the thought of Haley, let alone to have her as his number two on the ticket.

Who knows? Maybe this is the Year Of The Woman. Maybe Haley should take over for Trump although I seriously don’t see that happening unless it’s over his dead body. 2016 was the year of the populist. I said at the time that if Bernie Sanders had been nominated, he would have beaten Trump easily. That’s another thought that was not original to me.

In a Sanders v. Trump match, one populist or the other would have prevailed and I don’t think it would have been Donald. 2024 may be the year of the woman and Haley might be able to pull some decent votes. But again, this is speculation and will stay in that realm. Trump doesn’t have it in him to do something selfless like Joe Biden did. Biden was thinking of the country and of democracy. He saw the big picture and made his decision to step down based on that.

Trump is utterly incapable of doing something like that. And I don’t know what MAGA would do. I honestly don’t know if MAGA would vote for Haley, even if Trump told them to. She’s not the charismatic cult leader, he is.

Karma works in strange ways and it looks like 2024 is going to be for Trump what 2016 was for Hillary — meaning that he was the one *favored* to win, but now he’s going to lose and by a decent chunk of electoral votes, as well. I don’t want to use the word “landslide” in a nation as polarized as we are now. But landslide, like many things, is a relative turn. I think that Harris could bring home the prize by a nice, comfortable margin. Obviously, we hope and pray that she’ll beat him like a drum because it’s going to be hard to scream STOLLEN! when state after state votes him down.

This is why we need to campaign and work as though we’re 30 points down.

  2. We might still be polarized, but i think moderates from both political sides are coalescing around Kamala now. I think we are beginning to mend the rift.

  3. sigh. Another body language “expert”. Newsflash: you probably should take anything these “experts” say with a grain of salt the size of a boulder. There are no generalizations that can be made where human body movement is involved. We’re all snowflakes. We are molded by our environments. We are molded by our genetics. Often cultures/religious practices have great influence on how one moves, gestures, etc. That index finger thing? What if there are muscular-skeletal issues? Hmmmm? Given von shitzi’s age and other problems this is not impossible-far from it.

    Body language “experts” are by and large bull-shit experts. Period. You cannot paint with a broad brush ANYTHING accurately about human movement and von shitzinpants gesticulates wildly much of the time and without any meaning to what he is speaking about quite often. Attributing anything to that nonsense is in itself nonsense.

    • I’m not an NV expert, but I have taught it at the college level and think it has value, but only in the global sense. Just as you say, Spike, the environment and medical issues must be included in any analysis. In the case of Trump, any true expert would include the caveat that the subject is clearly suffering from mental issues so each nonverbal cue could change based on stressors such as number of other people in proximity, diet (horrific in this subject), and time of day (sundowning). And, don’t forget that Trump’s narcissism and sociopathy have taken huge hits recently. This is not a “normal” human and his nonverbal cues cannot be analyzed as though he were!

  4. It’s time America stopped being full of shit spouting off about equality, liberty, being a nation of laws etc. The FACT this piece of nazi shit and all his sycophants have dominated our politics, laws, and airwaves for a decade PROVES we are full of it. Either we start walking the walk or just phucking admit WE HAVE NO MORE MORALITY THAN ANYONE ELSE ON EARTH. It was dangerous, traumatic, and harrowing growing up with a violent Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde drunk, who my mom had to shoot after I was grown and gone. I do owe him however for all the training in dealing with violence, irrational behavior, and the cover ups. The truth and what was essential became extremely important for survival. He taught me to not accept fools, liars, and hypocrites, and NEVER hide in victim hood. Maybe we are turning a corner. Hope so. If not, my warning to all you comfortable ‘rational’ folks counting your pennies and checking your phones, your training is on the way. There’s a reason the Germans live in eternal shame and WON’T ALLOW NAZIS TO MARCH WITH TIKI TORCHES. We all know,(except for Holocaust deniers), what that reason is. The potential depravity of humanity has risen time and again. It’s now time to stop it here in America. If we don’t…welcome to Hell, something I know a little bit about. You don’t want to go down into that valley general Custer. Death is all that’s waiting. VOTE like your life depends on it because it literally does. Hyperbole? Yeah the nice people in Germany, Cambodia, North Korea, Russia, Indonesia, China and others thought so too. Time to phucking grow up America! By the way…Nikki is just another nazi wearing a skirt.

  5. I’m completely on board with the body language analysis. It’s used extensively by police to evaluate the responses of suspects and witnesses they interview. It works and is probably more reliable than polygraphs because the interviewee isn’t aware he or she is being tested. It pays to learn it, particularly if you’re buying a big ticket item like a car or house. If you own a dog, you probably have had an introductory course in it.

    Trump is deeply afraid of Haley and thinks she would upstage him in public events. That’s completely off the table for an extreme narcissist like him. He expects everyone around him to amplify his god-like self image. Anyone who fails to do this, or makes even the slightest critique of his style or speeches, is going to be either excommunicated or become a target of his attacks.

    The good news is that no one with talent will be able to work with him for long, and he’ll crash and burn along with the groveling sycophants he surrounds himself with.

    • Trump is indeed deeply afraid of Haley and equally (maybe more so) afraid of Kamala for the same reason: they’re far smarter than he is. That’s unacceptable to his thin-skinned ego from anyone but from a mere woman? Perish the thought. That’s why he picked brain-dead lickspittle Vance: a subservient male, whose law degree from Yale means nothing other than casting doubts about that supposedly fine university.

  6. Don-old in the past has only thought of females in two ways, screwable and non-screwable…..but i am sure by now he has a non-workable weenie, so he now is calling them stupid, and low I.Q. I think his abrupt body movements are just his way of repositioning his diaper. Let’s vote for KAMALA and put the trump-nightmare to sleep!
