I know plenty of people have commented on Trump’s atrocious behavior during the meeting with Angela Merkel, but does anyone else get a sense of Trump’s awkwardness in social situations in this shot?

Merkel seems poised and relaxed, though the Oval Office is not her turf. Trump is leaning forward with his hands between his knees, looking tense and out of place, as if he’s not comfortable with the whole situation.

During his meeting with Obama, he had a similar posture.

I’m not an expert in body language, but the man is broadcasting his insecurity with the way he sits in a chair. I mean, he should at least look like he’s the boss and not like some kid waiting outside the principal’s office.

Trump is a deeply insecure man; this is magnified - and made glaringly manifest - when he’s in the presence of a person who outclasses him in every regard. It’s unconscious on his part, but his body language clearly reflects it.
