Ms Goyder said Trump appeared “totally comfortable in his leadership” while Mr Starmer, when arriving at the White House to shake hands with the president looked like a “boy in his new school uniform, at school on the first day”.
But Ms Goyder said the comparison between Sir Keir’s body language and French president Emmanuel Macron’s during his earlier meeting with the US president couldn’t be starker.
She said Mr Macron, who was physically playful with Trump during their meeting, was also a very charismatic person and was able to engage with Trump on that level.
Caroline Goyder described Trump as a “silverback” while she said Starmer looked more like a boy on his first day of school.
“Sir Keir needs to meet Trump on a more intuitive, passionate, instinctive level, and he needs to get into his body,” Ms Goyder told ITV.
