Body Language Expert Breaks Down the Moment You Know Trump Is Lying About Biden During Press Briefing

Body Language Expert Breaks Down the Moment You Know Trump Is Lying About Biden During Press Briefing

In a White House press briefing on Thursday, President Trump took a moment to try to cast Joe Biden as dishonest and disingenuous for using a teleprompter to deliver remarks--a device that Trump then claimed he is "not allowed" to use, and then proceeded to use hours later at a rally in Michigan.

You need only look at the countless photos and videos showing Trump using the devices over the years to know his claims are ridiculous. But for those who prefer a bit more of a scientific analysis, a doctor on Twitter has highlighted a different smoking gun: Trump's body language.


Physican and body language expert Dr. Jack Brown took to Twitter yesterday to break down exactly how he can tell Trump was lying using a simple physical cue that blew his psychological cover: needlessly adjusting his tie.


During Trump's comments yesterday, he could be seen adjusting his tie at the precise moment he criticizes and mocks Joe Biden's use of teleprompter when delivering statements about the pandemic.

The tie adjustment appears at the 0:21 mark in this video from the presser.



Dr. Brown says that it is precisely this so-called "False Tie Adjustment" that betrays Trump's dishonesty.

As he explains in a subsequent tweet, Trump's unnecessary fiddling with his tie as he criticizes Biden indicates that he feels uncomfortable and lacking in confidence.


In short, the President is uncomfortable because he knows what he's saying is untrue.


Indeed, despite his repeated claims over the years to the contrary--and even suggesting during the 2016 campaign that candidates be forbidden by law from using them--Trump regularly uses a teleprompter during public appearances.

During yesterday's Michigan rally, Trump even directly acknowledged his use of a teleprompter in his comments.


On Twitter, many people were not at all surprised by Dr. Brown's conclusions.






And others pointed out that while Trump may not have been using a teleprompter in this particular press conference, it seemed clear he was reading off of something.




And of course, others pointed out the many examples of Trump using a teleprompter, including on the same day as his comments about Biden.






Trump's has since used a teleprompter at this morning's 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Watters contrasted Trump’s partisan speech to the Navy this week with former Vice President Kamala Harris’ ongoing book tour.

U.S. Scientist Wins Nobel Prize in Odd Way!

In a world where a U.S. president is still openly thirsting for a Nobel Peace Prize, it’s refreshing to know the honor can still go to someone who wasn’t campaigning for it on Truth Social.

Immunologist Fred Ramsdell found out he’d won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine in the most delightfully rugged way possibl: while camping off the grid in Montana. Ramsdell was parked at a campground with his wife, Laura O’Neill, after several days hiking the Rockies, when she suddenly screamed.

Karoline Leavitt Schooled After Spouting Out Bonkers 'MAGA Math' About Drug Prices

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was widely mocked after she repeated President Donald Trump's impossible claims that he got pharmaceutical companies to lower their drug prices by more than 100%, saying they are "going to be lowered by “200, 300, 100%.”

Even if Trump’s policy, which is dependent on cooperation from reluctant pharmaceutical companies and speculative future regulatory moves, were to result in a sharp drop in drug prices, it’s mathematically impossible to cut prices by 500% to 1,500%.

UK Conservatives Roasted After Chocolate Bar Criticizing Liberals Contains Epic Typo

Dolly Parton's Sister Clears The Air After Post Asking For Prayers For Dolly Sparks Concern

We've all seen those "VagueBook" posts where someone asks for prayers for a loved one, leaving us to wonder how serious the issue is, what they need prayers for, and most importantly, whether or not they will get better.

Beloved country singer and social advocate Dolly Parton shared last week that she's been a little under the weather lately, largely due to her many commitments that have her going back and forth across the country.
