Abstract
The article explores non-verbal signs of aggression in American political discourse, particularly in the speeches of Donald Trump. It highlights how body language, including gestures and facial expressions and touch, can convey aggressive sentiments despite the formal nature of political debates. Trump's use of pointed gestures and dominant handshakes are identified as key non-verbal strategies to assert control and express hostility. Understanding these signals enhances the analysis of political communication beyond verbal content.
