OP
I was going to post that if you want to tell a fake smile, the proof is in the eyes.

You're right. It doesn't reach his eyes. He looks he's grimacing because he has gas.

There are involuntary muscles that contract your eyes and make little crow's feet when you smile

It's wonderful because there are two people actually talking to the idiot. And he's smiling.

you can fake the smile, but not the eye contraction.

Maybe he's having some health problems. A little stress, maybe? A little upset?
We can only hope. Gag.

Trump handles Bush's death with abnormal normality
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/03/trump-response-bush-death-1041328
In short, the president is behaving normally a jarring rarity for a man who casually shatters sacred political norms.
The source of Trumps unusual restraint is unclear, particularly coming as it does during after November election gains by Democrats and new moves by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that have left him unusually volatile and voluble in recent weeks.
On Monday evening, Trump channeled a kinder, gentler version of his wrecking-ball spirit. He paid a surprise visit to the Capitol, where Bushs casket is lying in state. A president who rarely passes up a chance to speak his mind offered nothing in the way of commentary but a silent salute. The White Houses official Instagram feed featured an image of the 41st presidents portrait, draped in black cloth.
Bushs funeral will be held in Washington on Wednesday. Unlike McCains farewell, he has been invited to Bushs meaning there is still time for Trump to revert to character.
