UN Delegates’ Stone-Faced Response to Trump’s Latest Address Signals New Era

Donald Trump’s recent address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday was met with a starkly different reception than previous appearances, according to a body language expert. Delegates, who once openly laughed at his remarks in 2018, responded to his 58-minute 2025 monologue with silence and stony faces.

Psychologist and body language expert Peter Collett noted a significant shift in attitude. “People, it would seem, are taking it much more seriously. Whereas formerly it was a source of amusement when he puffed himself up, now almost everything he has to say has to be taken seriously. It’s no longer a joke,” Collett told DW, attributing this change to Trump’s evolution into a global entity and growing concerns among world leaders about his actions.

Even Trump’s more incendiary statements, such as accusing the UN of a “globalist migration agenda” or telling European leaders their countries were “going to hell” due to immigration, failed to elicit a discernible reaction from the assembled dignitaries. Collett analyzed Trump’s deliberate body language, designed to project dominance and an “alpha” persona, even when speaking from a lectern, to convey an impression of physical and political weight.

The expert highlighted that while Trump simultaneously addresses his political base with campaign trail rhetoric, the muted response from the international audience suggests a collective, serious assessment of his pronouncements, indicating a new phase in how global leaders perceive and react to the former U.S. President on the world stage.
