Part 4/9:
A significant point Constantine highlights is the eye contact and non-verbal cues exchanged during the meeting. One individual, Mandani, frequently made eye contact with President Trump, which is often a sign of openness and engagement. Instead of giving the cold shoulder or engaging in avoidance tactics, Mandani often looked down respectfully and nodded in agreement when Trump spoke. These gestures suggest active listening and alignment rather than concealment of emotion or hidden agendas.
Consistently throughout the meeting, Mandani repeated this pattern—shaking his head in agreement and then returning his gaze to a neutral position. Such baseline behaviors, maintained throughout multiple exchanges, demonstrate authentic engagement rather than scripted or forced responses.
