Trump and Putin Summit: Who's in Control? Body Language Analysis

Trump and Putin Summit: Who's in Control? Body Language Analysis
#putin #trump #bodylanguage

In this video, Dr. G, a clinical and forensic psychologist, offers an insightful body‑language analysis of President Trump and President Putin during two pivotal moments: their initial tarmac greeting and the post‑summit press appearance. At the tarmac, Dr. G breaks down how Trump's warm, welcoming gestures and subtle invite into the presidential limo contrasted with Putin’s restrained yet confident composure, revealing a curious blend of camaraderie and underlying tension. As they transition to the press briefing, a marked shift emerges: Trump's demeanor shifts from affable host to noticeably disappointed, while observers detect “definite signs of irritation” and a more guarded posture between the two. Join Dr. G as he decodes these powerful nonverbal cues and what they might tell us about the after-meeting mood—especially how a promising start gave way to unmet expectations.

On August 15, 2025, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, marking their first in-person summit since Trump's reelection. Despite a grand red-carpet entrance, military flyovers, and a “three-on-three” meeting format that included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff on the U.S. side (and Russia's Sergey Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov), no ceasefire deal was reached to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump described the meeting as “very productive” and hinted at potential future talks—possibly in Moscow—while Putin spoke of increased economic cooperation and maintaining Russia’s security concerns. Both leaders claimed progress on unspecified points but provided no details, and neither took questions from the press.

During the Alaska summit, several moments instantly went viral online. The dramatic red-carpet arrival—complete with a B-2 stealth bomber and F-22 flyovers—as Putin stepped onto U.S. soil drew widespread attention, especially when Trump applauded him warmly, sparking both astonishment and memes. Perhaps even more striking was the visual of Trump giving Putin a ride in “The Beast,” his heavily armored presidential limousine—this unprecedented gesture reinforced the summit’s surprising tone—and was shared endlessly across news and social platforms.
