In reply to the discussion: That look... [View all]Grammy23
(5,810 posts)27. Talk about grim!?
He is displaying that tight lipped look of a man who knows he is caught, trapped. If he had his druthers, hed blow that gig and hide out in some luxurious resort while he plots his way out of this mess for himself and his family. But that is not open to him so he is having to white knuckle it through this meeting and everything else associated with his position as POTUS.
Where is the guy who last year was strutting on stage with his sh*t eating, toothy grin, glad handing everyone he thought he could use? I will tell you where. The four walls of his personal hell are starting to close in on him. This whole scam is not working out the way he thought it would and nothing he usually does to get himself out of a jam is working. He has taken a look into the abyss and it stared back, cold eyed and determined.
We are witnessing in real time the destruction of a monster. This is playing out in front of us day by day. True, some things happen behind closed doors. But every now and then, he is in the public (such as the G20 meeting) and we get a glimpse of this wounded animal. This wont end well for him, but tRump being tRump, he still thinks somewhere in his sick mind that he can turn this back around in his favor. He is wrong, of course. So now all we have to do is hide and watch as this hideous chapter in American history winds down to its logical conclusion.
