Are we?

This may be the worst photo of Trump as prez that I’ve seen so far – it’s like something out of a nightmare.

Photo published for Trump National Security Team Blindsided by NATO Speech

It’s interesting and I think meaningful that there are so many photos of him of that kind. It’s interesting that his face so readily and often takes up that enraged hostile belligerent expression – that hideous anti-human hate-engorged snarl.

That’s not a good human being.

    “Either way, the episode suggests that what has been portrayed—correctly—as a major rift within the 70-year-old Atlantic alliance is also a significant moment of rupture inside the Trump administration, with the president withholding crucial information from his top national security officials—and then embarrassing them by forcing them to go out in public with awkward, unconvincing, after-the-fact claims that the speech really did amount to a commitment they knew it did not make.”

    I bet he likes to make his aides and cabinet members look stupid and foolish, part of his “Poking fun” at all his staff. He must think that making them look little and weak makes him look bigger and stronger. I could almost feel sorry for them, if I didn’t already know that they had to have known they were going to be working for Earth’s Biggest Asshole. Maybe they’re at the point where they feel they have to stay to protect the instruments of government from Trump’s predation and incompetence. Public spiritedness and service can only take you so far. If they really wanted to serve the American people, they should loudly, publicly denounce Trump and call for his impeachment and imprisonment, then resign from their positions.

    Apart from saddling Jared Kushner with a lot more work for which he has no qualification, what would be the effect of all of these people resigning en mass?

    That’s a resting asshole face? To me, it looks like the opposite. It looks like the face of someone giving it one last push after, shall we say, a long period with insufficient dietary fibre.

    Yes, it is quite an effortful face – but he does have Resting Asshole Face in the sense that he’s all but trained his face into a default snarl.

    There’s lots of room for selection with unposed pictures. I think its a gesture of resistance that most media outlets aren’t trying to select more flattering images. But the man is such a trainwreck (that HAIR!) that even Fox must be struggling to come up with anything.

    There are plenty of pictures of him smirking, beaming, grinning. He looks only slightly less horrible in those…

    It is startling how much he looks like the Forever Alone guy.
