Trump's pretty twitchy waiting for his turn at the mic as PM speaks, and he must remain silent

He's swaying back and forth, his eyes go left, they go down, the mouth opens, his arms hang like dead weights at his side, he stands on his tiptoes, he puffs out his chest, he's fidgety. It's all very subtle, but when you watch the clip, pay close attention to his facial expressions and body language. He's not a big fan of sharing the mic at public events. He literally does not know what to do with his body when another adult in the room is speaking and he's not.

hands. Why does he make a point of always showing them? It is an irritating habit.

Only in his case he has to be the center of attention and attempting to dominate someone.
