Here's a detailed body language analysis of Trump's feelings about the whistleblower:
https://www.bodylanguagesuccess.com/2019/09/body-language-analysis-no-4397-donald.htmlTheir conclusion:
SUMMARY: Not surprisingly, Donald Trump has significant disdain, disgust, and repulsion toward the Whistleblower. The President's body language — as well as his verbal and paralanguage behavior, indicate he's lying during the portion of the video analyzed above. He knows the Whistleblower's identity.
Crucially, the President exhibits cognitive-emotional dissonance, for while he displays braggadocio and hubris — he also shows significant fear and anxiety. Mr. Trump also regrets being caught.
The President's Freudian Slip — when he says, "... and keep asking questions, and build it up as big as possible, so you can have a bigger downfall"— is projection. He feels this advice applies to himself. It shows us he's a man sensing his own fall — and that he's desperate.

I don't know how scientific or accurate this sort of analysis is, but it's interesting, for what it's worth.
