19 of 29/ Leavitt responded, "Sure. I just answered that question for you."

18 of 29/ The second journalist asks, "Actually, that was my question. Will you plan to mark Juneteenth in any way, either today or with an event later on – maybe next week?"

17 of 29/ As the second journalist begins her answer, Leavitt leans forward with her torso, neck, and head – whilst pursing her lips, suppressing a smile, and elevating briefly up on her toes (this body language cluster, in this context, is a classic display of passive aggressiveness).

16 of 29/ That's exactly what Leavitt is doing here: She's smiling/smiling-laughing – but during her omission/avoidance of answering Trump's complete lack of acknowledgement of a holiday commemorating the end of (legal) enslavement of human beings in America.

15 of 29/ So it should always raise your red flags when someone truly smiles sincerely (joy-happiness smiles) – but they do so out-of-context (i.e., during conversation re sad topics, regarding unhealthy, unethical, or accompanying low empathy actions/events/plans, etc.).

14 of 29/ It's crucial to emphasize that situations that cause a psychologically unhealthy person to smile are very often not the same things that give rise to smiling in a psychologically healthy person.

13 of 29/ As she begins to call on the next journalist ("Nikki"), Leavitt does, in fact, display a sincere smile.

12 of 29/ As she says "We're" (We're working 24/7 right now"), Leavitt exhibits another signal of insincerity – an asymmetrical (duplicitous) pseudo-smile.

11 of 29/ Additional signals of insincerity in this moment are her elevated eyebrows and forehead muscles. These facial dynamics are completely incongruous with a sincere smile.

10 of 29/ The Joker Smile is insincere and duplicitous. Frequent use of the Joker Smile signals dangerous personality traits (i.e., manipulativeness, maliciousness, sadism, narcissism, psychopathy/sociopathy [ASPD]).

9 of 29/ The 'Joker Smile' is where the central portion of the lips are suppressed and pursed forward. The person is speaking without fully opening their jaw in a natural manner. They're trying to speak with their center lips – while one or both of the mouth corners are being pulled up and back.

8 of 29/ Simultaneously, Leavitt displays an asymmetrical 'Joke Smile' (more prominent on her right).

7 of 29/ Did you hear Leavitt's up-talking and the patronizing tone as she says, "for showing up to work" (also indicating insincerity/sarcasm, passive-aggressiveness). Leavitt also raises up on her toes as she says this (adrenaline surge).

6 of 29/ Note Leavitt did not answer the question. She only responded with regard to Trump not signing a proclamation. Her omission is an immediate red flag. The journalist should have quickly re-asked, "But is he going to make any comment regarding Juneteenth?"

5 of 29/ Leavitt's words, tone, and body language were all passive-aggressive. When does Trump/his administration ever show sincere 'thanks' for the press? They're constantly criticized. Moreover, Trump has placed First Amendment-breaking restrictions on some of them.

4 of 29/ Leavitt responded: "I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today. I know this is a federal holiday. I wanna [sic] thank all of you for showing up to work. We are certainly here. We're working 24/7 right now.

3 of 29/ Leavitt was asked, "Does the president plan to commemorate the holiday today – or make any comment on it?"

2 of 29/ Yesterday, in the White House Press Briefing Room, Karoline Leavitt was asked questions regarding Juneteenth. What follows is a body language and behavioral analysis of that exchange.
