One reason for Donald Trump’s charisma is that his body language and speech are more variable and complex than that of most people, possibly representing alternate personalities
In multiple personality, each alternate personality has its own body language, which is one reason that observers can get the weird feeling that they are meeting more than one person. Of course, there is only one person, but each of the various alternate personalities has its own characteristic speech pattern and body language.
When I googled “trump body language,” I immediately got many links, including the following:
If you compare Trump’s body language with that of most other politicians, or with TV news anchors, or practically anyone else, the main difference is that most other people, like Joe Biden, are almost always boringly the same as themselves; whereas, Trump has an interesting assortment of facial expressions and mannerisms. But people discussing Trump’s body language don’t mention this variety and complexity. They miss the forest for the trees.
I suggest that Trump’s body language be analyzed in the same way that the text of the Bible has been. The scholarly consensus, based on analysis of the text, is that the Bible had about 35 different writers: https://overviewbible.com/authors-who-wrote-bible/.
I suspect that if Trump’s body language were analyzed like the Bible text has been, they would find various subsets of his mannerisms that, in effect, represent the body languages of a number of different personalities.
If someone could write an application that did this kind of analysis of body language, it might be a new way to diagnose multiple personality.
