I've seen him do that when he's defiant, and scared, and desperate before. Its does look like his Mussolini impression .

That is what he does when he is being forced to hold back from turning it into a rally. He was allowed to say how he feels but in a controlled manner. He was not happy.

I avoid watching or listening to the Orange Traitor. I watched all but the first 15 minutes of the SOTU and it was so awful. Painful. Depressing. Ugh.

On top of that, suck out the fat on his round body, pull his face back behind his ears, hide the skin within the hair, do something about the hair and grow transplanted follicles long enough to hide everything, and finally spray paint the exposed skin and call it all good genes.

Been there and done that I guess. All is left is to control camera angles to prove, “good genes.”

and has adopted that has his go-to pose when he wants to look serious. He tilts his head back, nose in the air, arrogant smirk on his face. I just wish someone could wipe that smirk straight off his face. Maybe he will get a cell mate named Brutus who will take care of him. Buh bye, Cheatoloni!
