Who wants to analyze Trump's posture on 60 minutes?

He's curled over/extremely leaning over with hands clasped in front of him. It doesn't look like a power stance, which would be good posture, sitting up in his seat.

Can't get a picture yet because it just aired.

She had gotcha moments that she didn't capitalized on. But, it could have ended the interview.

If a question pisses him off, he'll just walk off in a huff.

Otherwise it's just shit, shit, and more shit.

Maybe someone who is trying to take control of the conversation by imposing himself physically into the picture?

I don't see that as strength because Nora O'Donell is a pro.

He leans forward because 1) he wears lifts he can’t cope with and 2) he’s got frontotemporal dementia, and that’s a specific posture denoting that Dx. I did acute care transcription for over 15 years and I’m pretty confident it’s one of his major issues. Add in the CHF and probable Alzheimer’s (a family tradition), and he’s pretty much toast. The only question is why he doesn’t get the hell on with it and drop dead so we can all move on.

Of course, Trump's intelligence is nowhere near the same level as Gates's brainpower. It is just that I am interested in reading body language of well-known people.

But, could also be self-soothing.

And yet, could also be some OCD thing he does to help him stay focused.

I can't access the article, so I'm guessing.
