CNN Interviews Body Language Expert on Trump-Putin Summit: Trump Clapping for Putin Similar to ‘Tonight Show Hosts’

‘By using that clap, he‘s taking some of the authority out of the moment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ULRICH: “Yeah. Keep in mind clap moment like this. We‘ll see tonight. Show host and other folks do this. It‘s like, let‘s get ready. Let‘s get ready to do this. The handshake that follows that is a moment of opportunity for them to connect. And that handshake lasts for 10 seconds. As they build rapport, they‘re smiling at each other. They‘re making eye contact as they‘re looking at each other. This is a moment of rapport building and parity. And even in those moments, keep in mind, Michael, the handshake is a negotiation, an ongoing signal for power.”
