President Donald Trump, Ivanka's Body Language Shows They Are A 'Power Duo,' Expert Says

President Donald Trump has found an heir in his daughter, Ivanka Trump, according to Judy James, a body language expert and author of "Body Language Bible" .

Ivanka and Melania Trump are the POTUS' main companions. However, between the two, it was Ivanka who joined Trump during his election campaign. James examined the father and daughter's relationship based on their gestures.

"There seems to be an emphatic sense of ‘public’ posing between Trump and Ivanka, defining them as something of a ‘Power Duo’ and reflecting the important role Ivanka holds in the president’s White House team," James told Express.

"It's a dynastic look, with some frequent mirroring between them to suggest like-minded thinking in professional scenarios and the respect looks as mutual as the affection. The way Trump holds out her hand in both of his in the last shot seems to signal this idea of him displaying a direct heir that he trusts, promotes and endorses."

She also warned those who are planning to get in between the POTUS and the First Daughter. According to James, it's not wise to do so.

"Donald's wreathed smiles show pride and the feeling seems to be that if you upset Ivanka you also upset Trump. It’s a glitzy, glamorous look with both proud to be in the other’s company."

James added that Trump had a different approach with his younger daughter Tiffany Trump. When it comes to his daughter with Marla Maples, the president acts like a normal dad.

"There’s less glitzy power-posturing from the president and the cheek-kissing looks more about normal affection than a promotion of a dynasty," James said.

James also examined Ivanka’s relationship with her stepmom Melania Trump. According to her, Ivanka is mirroring Melania, which suggests a “subliminal admiration” for the FLOTUS.

“There’s clearly an attempt to suggest something of a challenge in this pose too, or a look of some inner steel. POTUS’s daughter appears to be mirroring or mimicking her stepmother Melania’s signature beauty queen pose, which could have implied some subliminal admiration for her,” James said.

Meanwhile, Bruce Durham, a psychology and performance professional, said that Melania played a key role in Ivanka's growing confidence. According to the expert, Ivanka is using Melania as her "comfort blanket when she is feeling a little outside of her comfort zone."
