Donald Trump’s ‘joker smile’ and ‘alpha’ stance in first White House meeting with ‘sad’ Joe Biden revealed true thoughts

DONALD Trump’s “joker smile” revealed his true thoughts about Joe Biden during the pair’s historic White House meeting on Wednesday, a body language expert has revealed.

President-elect Trump also adopted a macho “alpha” stance to contrast with Biden’s “weaker” stance, according to behavioral and body language expert Patti Wood.

Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, Wood explained how Biden and Trump may have been all smiles during his handshake, but the interaction revealed a hidden power struggle between the two.

She noticed a number of key pieces of body language commonly used by Trump that he deployed again during Wednesday’s short sit-down in the White House.

“Trump is giving a version of a smile I have seen him use before,” she said.

“It’s a mismatched smile. A joker’s smile, where his cheeks raise and he gives what at first glance looks like pure glee, but if you look closely you can see the mouth is held tightly shut and the lips go down.

“At the corners, the mouth is slightly twisted, and his eyes are tensed showing controlled anger.”

Wood described how Trump also adopted a “manspreading” stance with his legs far apart and his knees pointing outward.

“One knee is sharply pointed weapon-like towards Biden,” she said.

“Before Trump, I didn’t see a full ‘manspread’ given by world leaders in the White House.”

She explained how this stance is a sign of “dominance and sexual ‘show’ of manliness.”

Trump added to his “manliness” by complimenting the “manspreading” stance with a “downward steeple,” joining his hands in a point facing down.

During their meeting, Trump also waited for Biden to lean in and present his hand for a handshake.

Wood pointed out how this was another example of a power move by the president-elect.

“See how Biden leans forward, spreads his legs in a ‘man spread,’ and initiates the handshake,” she said.

“Biden is focused on his hand rather than looking at Trump.

“In terms of etiquette, Biden should be the initiator, but he should have gotten Trump’s eye contact first as this handshake makes him look more submissive.”

As they shook hands, Trump held onto Biden’s hand and didn’t let go, something Wood explained is another sign of the president-elect looking to establish himself as the “alpha” in the conversation.

Wood also spotted an “unusual” trait in Trump’s body language after speaking with Biden.

As Biden said he wanted a smooth transition of power and promised to make sure Trump gets “what you need,” Trump responded by saying, “I appreciate it,” adding that “it’s not a nice world.”

Wood explained, “His energy overall is low and ‘down,’ rather than victorious ‘up’ body language.

“In fact, it is a bit frightening. When a future president is not looking happy and fully confident and, in fact, looks down and over and looks sad.

“It makes you wonder what Trump has to be unhappy about.”

She added that Trump appears “sad and resigned” as he slumps in his seat.

TRIUMPHANT TRUMP

Biden has made a point to emphasize a peaceful transfer of power after Trump triumphantly swept all seven swing states, ousting Vice President Kamala Harris from the White House.

The pair have developed a bitter rivalry over the years but tried to bury the hatchet in front of the media in a show of camaraderie.

Trump flew in at around 10 am and was joined by tech tycoon Elon Musk, who has rocketed into power through his staunch support of the president-elect.

Ex-Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was also there as he and Musk were named co-leaders of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE,

In the meeting, Trump thanked Biden for helping to make the transition so “smooth” and added that “politics is tough,” a reference to the bruising election campaign.

The pair did not answer any questions from a crowd of shouting reporters.

Trump is walking into a powerful position as the GOP now controls the Senate and could take the majority in the House of Representatives.

He’s rapidly assembling his executive cabinet and announced that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem would be the Department of Homeland Security.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Pete Hegseth is set to lead the Department of Defense, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott will be the next chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Republican New York Representative Elise Stefanik has replaced ex-presidential candidate Nikki Haley as Ambassador to the United Nations, and Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio will serve as Secretary of State.

Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, 2025.
