Armchair psychologists - Why is Trump hiding his face so much at his rallies?

Baseball cap appears too large so that the upper part of his face is completely hidden sometimes depending on the light. I have noticed this seems to be more pronounced the last couple of days. Someone mentioned it last night on Lawrence O Donnell so I know it is not just me. I could not find a really good picture of it.

Tomorrow night from the buildup of crap in his brain. He'll probably be hallucinating by then.

I imagine whatever he uses for hair can blow around a lot. He pulls the hat down to keep it on securely if it's even slightly windy out.

He seems to have a very tenuous attention span and crowd interaction frequently gets him off message in disastrous ways. Perhaps hiding under that bill limits potentially distracting visual stimuli.

Because the eyes often tell you if a person is lying or not. People who know they are lying hide their eyes.

which, even after long marination, parsley, garlic, butter, white pepper, and a gentle heat, remains inedible.

I just wonder what kind of stunt he's going to pull tomorrow night, because you know he is not going to concede gracefully or go quietly.

he has to wearing down with this last big push and about ready to hit the post election hang over.

To me, just the normal unaware expression of his general sense of being in that moment.

I also noted he was wearing frumpier looking suits, too.

Schwatz ghost writer of his major book says he is empty. He has no soul. And will not give up.

But maybe he has something deep that knows he is out of control. He is very afraid of losing. But not enough to be good. Was deeply abused by his father as a young man.
