A body language expert analysis said that U.S. President Donald Trump, who received a model of the Silla Cheonmachong Tomb gold crown as a gift from President Lee Jae-myung during the South Korea-U.S. summit, felt very great satisfaction.
On the 29th (local time), the Mirror in the United Kingdom reported, citing body language expert Judi James, that "President Trump fell into an ecstatic state imagining the future after receiving the gold crown as a gift."
On the 29th (Korea time), at the official state welcome ceremony held at Gyeongju National Museum in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, President Lee awarded Trump the Grand Order of Mugunghwa and also presented a model of the Cheonmachong Tomb gold crown as a gift. The Grand Order of Mugunghwa used 190 don (712.5 g) of gold and 110 don (412.5 g) of silver, along with rubies, amethysts, and cloisonné, among others.
In particular, the gold crown was a gift tailored to President Trump's preference for golden-colored ornaments. Receiving it, Trump said, "It's beautiful," and added, "It's really special."
Analyzing Trump's expressions and gestures at the time, James said, "He, who sparked 'No Kings' protests across the United States, is already planning when to wear a crown." She added, "The way he stared as if entranced suggests he was in a state of imagining the future."
James also said, "Looking at Trump's body language, you can find important clues for giving gifts during the upcoming holiday season," adding, "If you buy someone a gift they truly love, they won't be able to take their eyes off it, like Trump."
James analyzed, "President Trump slightly turns his body left and right as if suppressing pleasure and excitement," adding, "He seems to be striking a partially hugging gesture while wearing a grateful expression."
