WASHINGTON, D.C. – The enigmatic nature of President Donald Trump continues to captivate the public, with many scrutinizing his every move. His latest appearance at a joint session of Congress has reignited discussions not just about his policies but also his distinctive hand gestures.
During his speech, Trump declared he was “just getting started” after a turbulent six weeks in office. Yet, beyond his audacious politics and executive decisions, a peculiar fascination has emerged around the way he positions his hands.

A recent TikTok video has drawn significant attention, suggesting a deeper reason behind his frequent use of a triangle-like hand gesture. The viral footage shows Trump often resting his hands in a deliberate shape, leading to various interpretations of its meaning.
One TikTok user commented, “It’s a power pose and the wealthy learn this early on. It’s used more often to present false authority.” Another person admitted, “I’ve done this with my hands all my life. It keeps my mind balanced.” Meanwhile, a third suggested, “Releasing stress. To stay balanced and focused.”
Although interpretations of Trump’s gesture vary, its significance continues to spark debate. The hand position, commonly referred to as the “steeple” gesture, is often associated with confidence and authority. Body language experts suggest that individuals who use this movement are typically well-versed in the subject at hand and aim to project control.

In business and negotiations, this hand gesture is considered a symbol of composure and influence—an observation that aligns with Trump’s background in deal-making. The renewed focus on his body language comes in the wake of Trump’s first annual address to Congress since securing re-election. The highly anticipated speech, delivered on Tuesday evening, outlined his agenda for the next term, following what has been a chaotic start to his administration.
Among the key challenges of his leadership thus far are Elon Musk’s sweeping overhaul of the federal government and foreign aid policies, deteriorating relations with Ukraine, and an escalating trade war that has wiped billions off global stock markets. Despite these hurdles, Trump remains steadfast in his approach, assuring the nation that his administration is only beginning to reshape America’s future.
