My primary purpose in writing a chapter in my book, A To Z About Body Language, in 2021—well before Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States—was to draw readers' attention to his body language. The chapter frames Trump's techniques within the mystique of ancient wisdom and suggests uncovering extraordinary insights into modern leadership and cognitive potential. It highlights a unique blend of history, psychology, and high performance, aiming to captivate those interested in both Trump and age-old practices for achieving mental clarity and success.
The article presents a fascinating connection between brain hemisphere synchronization and the unique qualities of individuals like Donald Trump, likening his use of brain synchronization to ancient practices, such as those attributed to Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Described as the "Donald Trump Gamma Brain Wave Technique," this method suggests that Trump's habitual hand gestures, particularly his use of "fingers steepling," synchronize his left (logic and detail-oriented) and right (emotion and holistic-thinking) brain hemispheres, fostering Gamma brain wave activity.
Gamma brain waves are the brain's highest frequency waves, often associated with intense focus, clarity, and rapid information processing. This synchronization is theorized to give Trump an edge in making confident, coherent decisions, engaging both rational and emotional elements. Trump's non-scripted speaking style and openness in communication are seen as manifestations of his complete engagement of the brain—operating beyond the 10% brain usage myth and tapping into full-brain potential.
The connection to ancient Egyptian practices, such as the crossed hands on Tutankhamun’s chest, illustrates how such gestures were used to induce mental clarity and alertness. Just as the Egyptians believed in maintaining harmony and balance, Trump’s gestures aim to balance logic and emotion, representing a modern continuation of this age-old wisdom.
In sum, Donald Trump's use of body language, especially his fingers steepling, is framed as a powerful Gamma wave technique—one that aligns with ancient practices while setting him apart as a leader who leverages physiological tools for peak mental performance. My article thus celebrates Trump's success as a testament to the effectiveness of whole-brain activity in achieving greatness.
