المستخلص: The general goal of this research study is to employ body gestures as a non-verbal means of communication to clarify the psychological aspects of George W. Bush’s character. Bush’s character is picked up for being highly controversial, having received the lowest approval rating in 2008 and the highest approval rating after the September 11 attacks. To attain the aim of this study, a psycholinguistic approach is adopted, and three research questions are raised: (a) what are the psycholinguistic interpretations of Bush’s body language? , (b) which body gestures are frequently used by Bush while delivering his speeches? , and (c) what can body gestures reveal about George W. Bush’s character? The main results of this research study can be summed up in the following points. (1) There are some body gestures used by Bush while delivering his speeches, including (a) excessive blinking, (b) lip licking, (c) stiff controlled hand gestures following natural excessive ones, (d) finger clasping, (e) blushing somber face, (f) palm - down thrust when shaking hands, and (g) closed eyes with crow’s feet, and open eyes with visible bottom teeth. (2) The body gestures mentioned in (a), (b), (c) reveal that a deceptive message is being delivered. (3) Bush happily employs palm - down thrust more than the palm- up thrust because of feeling more superior and powerful than the recipient. (4) Bush has two types of smiles: fake and genuine. The genuine smiles are not given to those whom he loves, but rather, to those whom he can dominate and control, such as some of the Arab and Western presidents and officials.
