    I don't think the four behavior language analysts on the Behavior Panel are Trump supporters. Although they rarely discuss politics, from comments made in some other videos, I don't think any of them are Trump supporters, although one or two of them may be. Here, they analyze Trump's behavior language during his deposition on sexual assault allegations.

    I can't watch anymore, what the hell, I've seen Trump way back on one of the nuts that tried to take over after Johnny Carson and he is just calm and collected. I don't even believe these people are actually capable of analyzing anyone's body posture, or omg, his eye-movements, it's all so stupid. Every person on Earth has body-language, and they'd fail trying to read mine, LOL, because I twitch, and tremor, totally involuntary. He's the best that's ever been President. Look how Winston Churchill, or Abe Lincoln have been bad-mouthed. Not to mention the big bucks these jokers are getting paid to spread more propaganda about Trump. Dirt-bags, waste of space they are.

    There's a reason Trump is ahead in the polls. The public can see right through all this crap thrown at him. I would vote for him again even if he had to campaign from jail.

    Why do you think we have it if it can't be read?

    Like @Denise Evans I have uncontrollable nervous tics and look guilty just giving my name as it is on my birth certificate. Who knows why our minds allow us to react in ways that no "expert" can analyze correctly.

    To have any accuracy from reading body language, one would have to establish over a period of time, the subjects reactions when they answered questions that were 100% fact. Then also things that all agreed were a lie, and then things that were partial facts.

    The reason that body language and lie detector test are only used in the court of public opinion and not as legal testimony, explains it all. The margin for personal interpretation and bias, is much too high.

    They acknowledge all this, including the need for a baseline, and frequently express that body language is not about lie detection. As human beings, we have developed body language for a purpose, and our body language does help us to communicate. However, while we can easily manipulate the words that come out of our mouths, it's more challenging to manipulate our body language while, at the same time, keeping up a verbal story that may or may not be true. I think we've all had conversations with people who were telling us one thing, while we sense that something was off. That thing that was off was likely to have been subtle body language that didn't correspond with the spoken language. If it's someone we know, we might be aware of physical or mental abnormalities that might account for the person's inability to communicate effectively with body language, but, otherwise, we recognize that something was off. Does that mean they were lying? Not necessarily, but it did have an effect on the message we received.

    Just as human beings developed the ability for verbal language, we also communicate via body language. For the most part, we pick it up from people around us, but that is also a language in which we can be coached, as is often the case with actors, politicians, and others who communicate for a living.
