WASHINGTON, DC: Ivanka Trump might return to work alongside her president father Donald Trump after the latter’s "conscious uncoupling" with his adopted "heir" Elon Musk, a body language expert has claimed.

The Republican leader attended a UFC fight at the Prudential Center on Saturday night, June 7, and accompanying him was his daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, along with son Eric Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as per the Irish Star.



 

Now, body language expert Judi James has shared that Trump’s feud with Musk will favor Ivanka, and she’ll be more prominent in this administration much like she was in his first term.



 

Expert says Ivanka launched herself ‘as a political leader-in-waiting’ during Trump’s first term

“It was once Ivanka appearing as Trump's anointed and even FLOTUS-by-proxy,” James mentioned.

She further said, “During Trump's first term in office it was always only Ivanka by his side, sharing the spotlight and gaining the approval signals from her father as she posed in 'corporate power-mode', launching herself on the world stage as a political leader-in-waiting.”

The language analyst also noted that when Trump was in power for the first time, “there was a slow realization of the real FLOTUS's worth. Melania was popular and admired and her body language and her charisma seemed to radiate the kind of ethereal elegance that Trump was sadly lacking.”

“Ivanka faded from view once Trump left the White House and, with a court appearance in her diary, she seemed to switch the power-posturing and appear in several different guises like Barbie, from 'rock-chick' to 'surfer gal,” she added.

Body language expert Judi James claims Melania is now being 'presented more as an equal to’ Trump

James also mentioned Melania as she said despite rumors of trouble between the commander-in-chief and the first lady, she’s “making the biggest power statements during her admittedly infrequent appearances as FLOTUS.”

“Her White House official portrait showed her posing and dressed as a CEO, in full power and confidence mode. When she and Trump have appeared together their non-verbal bonding signals look fiercer and there have been rituals that have suggested affection and even flirtation,” she remarked.

“Melania has been presented more as an equal to her husband and he has been lavish in his signals of admiration for his wife,” she stated.

Ivanka Trump wants ‘to be included in the conversations’

James, however, said, “But these new photos suggest that Ivanka is back on the scene.”

She also shared that Trump “looks very agreeable with this new dynamic, face-gazing Ivanka and even indulging in what looks like a private, whispered and intimate conversation as though he now treats her as a confidant."

“In one pic she has her hand on her father's back as he is talking to other people, which is a gesture of affection but also of control and protection. It also suggests a desire to be included in the conversations, as does her lower hand 'steering' touch in another pic,” the expert added.
