I've never seen Trump demure to anyone in public whether they were there or not. After Ben Carson told the story about the knife and the belt buckle Trump stepped aside a podium (Iowa?) and toyed with his belt buckle in a clear "Suck my ......" move. His schtick is a pro wrestling face and heel. He plays both parts and the crowd (protestors - some clearly staged)offer the flashes of "violence".
Today when Putin was directly asked if he had incriminating information on Trump AND HIS FAMILY (that was an informed question) Trump's Head was on a swivel. He looked over at Putin and he tried to look like he was laughing it off but his eyes never left Putin. He never confidently looked straight ahead said he had nothing to worry about. It wasn't that he was just waiting on Putin to confirm or deny this but he looked like he wasn't sure WHAT Putin might have.
Yes these are observations about body language but then I'm not a dentist.

(14,167 posts)He wanted to impress and please Putin, this was obvious.
That Putin was in control was clear. And Putin's body language to Trump communicated that he had better not step out of line. And Trump didn't.
That's, I think what will peel away some of the cult members. Just how WEAK Trump looked.
