I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time.

It's kind of petty, but what the fuck is wrong with his eyes? They aren't normal looking. Not only are they dead and soulless, but the shape of them is very strange. This isn't even the worst photo I could come up with. It almost looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome (as an adult). He is a hideous person all the way around, but his eyes are especially creepy.

1. Eyes of soulless venality.

That's my diagnosis.

2. His pupils are frequently dilated on days when he is speaking publicly--likely medication related...

perhaps stimulants (e.g., Adderall or other amphetamine) and may likewise explain the snorting under stress (he had a reported history of abusing Adderall in decades past and may have snorted it)... There are other medications that can explain it as well, especially since he frequently manifests balance issues (note how he holds on the podium for dear life, yet leans forward in a very strange way and the many times he drops his foot or splays on video).


The bags around his eyes with "goggle" marks obviously adds to the effect.

3. I think it is bad knife work.

A few weeks ago there was a picture of him that had bruising around his eyes and a line across his forehead and he was hiding behind a hat and sunglasses. It is that line across his forehead that looks like that crease above his eyebrows. I may be wrong and I cannot remember where I saw the picture.

15. I remember seeing that too.

It's possible. Although I don't know why they bother. It's like putting lipstick on a pig.

4. Grinch eyes...grinch that stole my country

In reality probably plastic surgery and tanning spray goggles help create his look
He used to have bigger bags under his eyes but nothing can help this heartless creep look right

[MontanaMama]

5. I think he's had bad plastic surgery.

Probably the same surgeon that enhanced Mel’s kidneys. I agree his eyes are effed up.

[smirkymonkey]

12. Yes, it looks like that.

Very bad plastic surgery.

7. Drugs, no sleep, bad make-up to try and hide the bags.

His pupils are markedly dilated in a brightly lit room which isn't normal, especially for a man of his age. As we age our pupils get smaller. Amphetamines or uppers make pupils large.

8. If you look at photos of him as a child they always had that shape.

They are naturally almond shaped but I'm sure that the bags underneath as well as the "white" due to his self tanning do not help his overall appearance.

9. it's the Adderall he snorts to keep himself going all day. And of course the white circles..

around his eyes are from the swimming goggles he puts on when uses the orange tanning spray for his glorious complexion—not.

10. K&R he has needed a good psychiatrist since birth

[3catwoman3]

11. If, as is said, the eyes are the window to the soul, then we are looking...

...into a black hole, for he has no soul.

[NCLefty]

13. He says he has great genes. The bags are probl white from the tanning cups.

Something is wrong with his nose too. When he's mic'd too close, you can ALWAYS hear the sniffing when he inhales. It wasn't just during the debate or whatever.

He said he never touches drugs. I think I was sort of believing him before but now that seems moronic. How can he be up so late every night rage-tweeting and still have energy for daytime stuff at his age?

[eppur_se_muova]

14. The absence of spray-on tan (orange, really) around his eyes doesn't help. nt
