Watch the Media Get Ahead of Their Skis Again Reporting on Trump's Meeting with Putin

Townhall 

The foundations for a peace deal were set in Anchorage. It would’ve been a Super Bowl-like win if Trump could secure a deal with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Friday, but I doubt that was in the cards. Former President Drool-in-Soup didn’t engage with Moscow, and that’s led to nothing but death and destruction in Ukraine. Yet, the media’s reaction was ‘as expected,’ and they once again got ahead of their skis. How do we know? Well, everyone becasme body language experts all of a sudden.

Now, let’s go to a real specialist, Chris Ulrich, who nuked this narrative from orbit on CNN, no less: 

He's in the authority position. By using that clap, he's taking some of the authority out of the moment, going from host into receiver. He offers a rapport and opportunity to lighten the moment through that clap. It's followed by a smile as he puts his hand out in this very open palm gesture...the handshake is a negotiation, an ongoing signal for power. Trump shows deference, followed by pulling the hand in and using these touch gestures to reestablish dominance as they walk down, showing he's [Trump] in control, he's in command." 

"Trump does his effort here where he'll pat the other person's hand. It's a dominant gesture. It's like he's in control, he's in command. 

It’s an evergreen statement about the media: they’re wrong about everything.
