Have you noticed the expressions Trump has on his face now?

He does this weird smirk that I think is supposed to be a smile.

And then he has been putting on this "pose" of the noble, patriotic American. He stands tall and kind of lifts his head up and back and tries to look proud.

Drives me crazy. He just gets more and more repulsive.

He sends me into a homicidal rage. Not that I'm going to do anything about it but fantasize, but nobody has ever had such a negative effect on me in my life.

Wiki:"During his dictatorship, representations of Mussolini's body — for example pictures of him engaged in physical labour either bare-chested or half-naked — formed a central part of fascist propaganda. His body remained a potent symbol after his death, causing it to be either revered by supporters or treated with contempt and disrespect by opponents, and assuming a broader political significance."

Watch what happens when Mueller starts handing out over 200 indictments, nearly all of them GOPers. Those backing Trumpy right now will suddenly forget who's president. They'll claim innocence when they get their indictments.

I had just commented in another thread that Donnie probably had a smirk on his face about the train accident with GOPers going to a resort for some shindig, since they didn’t hold it at one of his properties.

Don’t know if the timing works out, but if it does, I claim “called it”.

sitting at his desk. He has this frozen smile. Looks like a rubber mask. I think it is supposed to be a warm smile.

I don't think I have ever seen him really smile or laugh about anything.

It's got to be difficult for him to twist that prolapsed anus of a mouth into something shaped like a smile.
