Does Trump really feel so sure that he’s won?
“His posture was confident throughout with square shoulders and very open arms.”
At that point in the speech, Trump’s confidence shone through, Hoelscher added.

But could this show of confidence be an act, designed to delight his base?
Hoelscher notes the speech lacked spontaneity.
“His presentation was too polished to be unpracticed,” he said.

“The entire speech was theater, as opposed to a genuine, organic expression.
It’s hard to say more than that.”
“I think he is looking forward to this fight,” he said.
“His exit showed energy and confidence.”
