Donald Trump recently faced questions about viral rumors claiming he had died. During a White House address, a body language expert noted subtle signals that revealed how he really felt.
Inbaal Honigman explained that Trump’s gestures have changed since his first term. Once known for broad hand movements, he now keeps his hands closer to the podium. Still, she said he adjusted his tie and pointed at journalists, showing confidence rather than hiding.

When asked about the rumors, Trump kept what she called a “presidential” look—serious face, slight head tilt, and steady eye contact. He insisted, “I have heard it’s sort of crazy… I was very active this weekend.”
Yet Honigman pointed to one small sign of vulnerability. “He breaks eye contact and glances sideways. It’s quick, but it shows sensitivity,” she explained.
The analysis suggests Trump is deeply aware of the speculation, even if he dismisses it publicly. For many, it raises new questions about how leaders manage image and pressure.
