2/ Earlier today, CNBC& #39;s Jim Cramer called Speaker Pelosi, "Crazy Nancy" to her face during a televised interview. What follows is a nonverbal analysis and paralanguage analysis of that exchange.
3/ JIM CRAMER: I mean, what deal can we have, [stutter] Crazy Nancy? I& #39;m sorry, I, th, that was the President, I, I, I have such reverence for the office, I would - never - use - that term. But it is hard, is it ...?
NANCY PELOSI: But you just did.
NANCY PELOSI: But you just did.
4/
CRAMER: Oh, come on.
PELOSI: But you just did.
CRAMER: You know what I mean. You know what I mean.
PELOSI: I know what you meant. I do.
CRAMER: The reverence I have for the office is so great...
CRAMER: Oh, come on.
PELOSI: But you just did.
CRAMER: You know what I mean. You know what I mean.
PELOSI: I know what you meant. I do.
CRAMER: The reverence I have for the office is so great...
5/ As he says, "Crazy Nancy", his head and torso lean forward with emphasis. His eyebrows were also considerably lowered. This cluster of nonverbal behavior indicates his comment was deliberate and with emphasis.
6/ As he says, "sorry", Mr. Cramer& #39;s mouth is asymmetrical. Spontaneous (nonbaseline) mouth asymmetry during speech projects the thought-feelings of:
• Insincerity
• Hubris
• False Bravado
• Braggadocio
• Insincerity
• Hubris
• False Bravado
• Braggadocio
7/ Notice, also that his eyelids aren& #39;t retracted as he reacts and says, "I& #39;m sorry". They, in fact, are partially closed. In this context, this nonverbal combination screams insincerity and orchestration.
8/ Mr. Cramer also lifts his arms and hands with his palms forward-facing. This is an immediate push-back toward Speaker Pelosi and, not coincidentally, reminiscent of Donald Trump& #39;s body language.
9/ This palms-forward, pushing-back gesture (illustrator) is aggressive, hyper-dominant, and is a form of personal space violation from a distance. The other person (in this case, Speaker Pelosi, will feel space-violation.
10/ If this were a mistake and if Mr. Cramer honesty hadn& #39;t meant to say this — and/or if he honestly was sorry, his eyelids would have opened very wide and he would have touched his face with both hands (typically on the cheeks/jaw/mouth/eyelids).
11/ The vast majority of times, his initial reaction would have a component of blushing as well. Mr. Cramer displayed no blushing.
12/ Mr. Cramer& #39;s use of "Crazy Nancy" and then, a few seconds later, denying that he "would never use that term" and "You know what I mean. You know what I mean" — is classic condescension, manipulation, gaslighting, bullying, and profoundly passive-aggressive behavior.
13/ The first time he said, "You know what I mean", Cramer displayed an amalgam expression of Contempt-Disgust.
14/ Jim Cramer uses his alleged, "reverence for the office" of the Presidency, as a license to denigrate the Speaker of the House to her face on national television. It& #39;s difficult to find a more extreme example of passive-aggressive behavior.
15/ As he says, "I, I, I have such reverence for the office, I would - never - use - that term. But it is hard, is it...? — Oh, come on", Cramer& #39;s central forehead is contracted and elevated during which he also displays a partial (suppressed mouth smile).
16/ One must also ask, in what way did Jim Cramer just show "reverence for the office" of the Presidency? He did not show reverence. Jim Cramer displayed sycophancy.
17/ This combination of an elevated central forehead contraction along with a partial mouth smile is extremely suspect for insincere motives.
18/ Moreover, Mr. Cramer& #39;s reaction was much too quick to be sincere. If this were a true spontaneous event, there would have been a moment of shock (i.e., "I can& #39;t believe I said that!" before his response, of "I& #39;m sorry".
19/ In addition, if Mr. Cramer was sorry and this was a true sincere mistake, his vocal tone, cadence, rhythm, volume (all vocal qualities) would have been much different. Close your eyes and just listen to Jim Cramer& #39;s voice. It& #39;s not apologetic, embarrassed, or sincere.
20/ SUMMARY: This was a practiced and deliberate act. Jim Cramer is feigning spontaneity. He& #39;s insincere. His body language, words, nor his paralanguage (statement analysis) is not at all consistent with surprise, shock, embarrassment, or sincerity.

21/ Jim Cramer does not so much have "reverence for the office" as he does sycophancy for Donald Trump. He is acting as a Trump surrogate. Mr. Cramer is not sorry. Moreover, Mr. Cramer feels contempt and disgust for Speaker Pelosi.

22/ It& #39;s difficult to imagine Mr. Cramer insulting a male Speaker of the House in a similar manner. This was a profound example of passive-aggressive, condescending, misogynistic behavior.
