"Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me..."
I am a Human Communications Major. This is my analysis of the expressions in this G-20 shot of Putin and trump. Have fun!
Trump:
Though Trump is in profile, his eye socket muscles can be seen to be pulling back, wide eyed (fear) as he trys (and fails) to engage Putin in eye contact.
His mouth is slightly but just sufficiently visible to be caught transitioning expression- his lips are in the process of downturning as he registers that his greeting smile is being ignored and not reciprocated by Putin.
Here trump is showing consternation, which looks as though it's morphing into shock.
Putin:
Full face, the emotional content is obvious, and not something anyone who works for him (or is behoven to him) would ever want to see. Putin can pull a world class "ice face," and this one is a classic.
Putin's slightly raised eyebrows, and hint of a frown denote two things: skepticism and disappointment. This is a "you failed me on your word" face, so plain as day that even trump is able to read it correctly. Would you want to be in his shoes at that moment?
Now, take your thumb and block out all but Putin's eyes. This will allow you to better read what's there. They're icy, and at first read expressionless and cold. Putin is staring fixedly past trump (a snub).
On looking closer though the real bad news for don don is the utter detachment in his ex buddy's eyes. Not only do they say "I'm done with you, " they also look a thousand miles away. Putin's mind is already calculating ahead, to the consequences of what he sees as "betrayal..."
Brrrrr...
