Flower in USA media

Lisa Flower’s article ”The (Un)emotional Law Student” which discusses the ”emotional sniff” received media attention in Sweden following Donald Trump’s sniffing in the first presidential candidate debate and has now been used by Forbes Magazine to analyse the second debate.

Forbes Magazine concludes that Trump’s sniffing was noticeable when he threatened presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with prison: a threat that can be considered inappropriate and personal and therefore an emotional sniff was used.

Read the article Donald Trump's Sniffling During Debates: An Alternative Theory on Forbes’s website.
