You'll notice he favors that in staged photos. He also likes to make it appear he is in the midst of signing something (always "hard at work!) and just happened to glance up in resolute grim defiance of all who oppose him.

I think Trump needs to take a page from the Ozzy Osbourne playbook. I think he needs to bite the head off of something and spit it on the table and then they need to take the photo. Or maybe he could wear a poncho made from a Confederate flag and instead of the prop piece of paper and pen he could have another Trump Tower taco bowl in front of him. That should ease tensions if he pardons and appoints Arpaio on Tuesday.

Or maybe they could wait until he takes his afternoon nap and Vice President Pence could teabag him, and that could be the cover photo.

Very impressive, to be sure, but needs work.

I know I'm sure not. While the media has focused on covering Trump's idiotic antics with single minded intensity, the Republicans have quietly been selling off public lands for mining and drilling, instructing financial regulators not to worry about that pesky ol' Volcker Rule, etc. These people are systematically tearing apart everything this nation stands for, our social, economic and environmental fabric. They are purposely weakening the institutions Americans must trust if our nation is to remain strong.

Aaaargh.

Impeach.

Try.

Imprison.

Subtle body language that could mean they want to get the hell away from him. It certainly doesn't convey unity or respect. Trump also looks ridiculous sitting there pretending to be signing stuff. A confident leader would stand with his team.

Donnie John does love his signing ceremonies (probably because they center on him), but what was he signing? Did they just stage a fake ceremony and photo for him? From his expression, it doesn't seem to be making him happy.

Or are they just all trying to read off the same sheet because they forgot to invite along the person who knows how to change the toner cartridge?

Also, the lack of symmetry is interesting. 4 flags on the left (and 6 people), with 3 flags (and 7 people) to the right. Makes you think there was another flag on the right that was removed. Was it a Confederate flag or a Russian flag that they removed for the sake of the photo?
