Ron DeSantis is one of the best examples of a face that betrays insincerity and chronic deception, a body language expert said on Wednesday night.
Body language expert Dr. Jack Brown, who previously said counsel for Donald Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, only made things worse when they tried to walk back certain comments Meadows made, analyzed the latest GOP debate in which one of the standout moments was when former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy exchanged verbal blows over foreign policy, swiftly descending into personal attacks amid roars from the audience.
Brown thought DeSantis' face stood out most.
"The overly-frequent elevated forehead contraction is THEE most common body language sign of insincerity and chronic deception. There are few better examples of this behavior than Ron DeSantis," he wrote. Next, he drew attention to what appears to be a large frown on DeSantis' face.
"A feigned pout is a reliable body language signal of insincerity and manipulative personality," the expert wrote Wednesday. "This is highly significant when displayed frequently – but also even in isolation depending on the context."
DeSantis wasn't the only one that caught Brown's eye. He also noticed patterns with Ramaswamy.
"Though Vivek Ramaswamy (38 y.o.) is very heavily Botoxed, it won't do anything to diminish his pugnacious nature (Eyebrows elevated, yet with almost movement of his forehead)," the expert wrote.
Additionally, the expert said, Ramaswamy had another habit that stood out.
"Men who frequently wag their index fingers at others have a dramatically increased likelihood of having impulse control disorder. Moreover, men who frequently wag their index fingers at women, have an additional significantly increased likelihood of later using their fists."
Brown also pointed to potential "adrenaline surges" from Ramaswamy.

"Vivek Ramaswamy exhibits profound jaw jutting when he speaks in public – far beyond what is normal for the pronunciations of the words. This is a highly reliable signal of adrenaline surges," the expert said.
Back to DeSantis, Brown had this to say:
"Immediately after Nikki Haley scores a point against DeSantis and Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis adopts a modified fig-leaf (genital guarding) configuration – signaling his emotional discomfort and and emotional vulnerability in that moment."
Brown added that it appears as though DeSantis doesn't want to be on stage.
"Someone has advised Ron DeSantis to stand away from his lectern. This bad advice," he wrote. "It projects a lack of full engagement and cognitive-emotional dissonance. Ron wants to be president – but he sure doesn't want to be on this stage. Also, high heels."
