I quit watching him over a week ago but cant unsee brief screen shots or clips on the late night comedians. He puts on that phony face that he calculates makes him look serious and in charge and its all just more of the phony apprentice facade. Id love to just smash his face down onto the podium over and over. Sorry, nothing intelligent to say, just venting.

(20,568 posts)his face is everywhere even if we quit watching his daily re-election campaign. Lizard eyes and a mouth that looks like he is still usung a baby bottle. Just awful to look at and can't wait until he is over and out.
maddiemom
(5,106 posts)I've been trying to pin down his look lately. His eyes are always slit mostly shut. with no normal range of expression. You have to catch him in close-up stills because he rarely looks up while reading in an expressionless drone. Catch any of the briefings by states' governors. The contrast is stark.

(497 posts)Sadly, because he has no feelings, empathy or intelligence, he cant speak off the cuff to even pretend to express how sad the whole situation is.
you said lizard eyes, but I read somewhere here awhile back that could be from his mother's alcohol problem. I can't remember the medical term fetal alcohol syndrome ?, I'm sure someone will correct me.
captain queeg
(10,094 posts)You hear the stories about his brother drinking himself to death. I was thinking about that today; alcoholics do a lot of damage but anything a drunk would do pales beside the teetotaler. He claims to not drink but why would anyone believe that when everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Id believe he doesnt drink (much) because hes abusing drugs, most likely of the stimulant variety.

He has a way of cocking his head to one side that is straight from Mussolini. This guy has actually practised 'phony face' in front of a mirror. It just can't be a coincidence.

Judi Lynn
(160,450 posts)Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Barf.
I wondered what the #### he was doing when he started sitting around that way, I figured he was trying to cover up how large his stomach is. Now it's clear he learned Mussolini folded his arms a lot.
Not quite the same when the ####gibbon does it.
He TRIES to look like a dictator?
On edit:
I just noticed: Mussolini's and Hitler's folded arms still looked like arms. Trump's look like short, overstuffed sausages.
Dworkin
(164 posts)Judi,
Oh, that was so funny. Also, your pics reminded me of Chaplin's film 'The Great Dictator'. Trump just looks like a spoof of his idols.

PS - I do wish the reality of the situation was funny, but hoping that enough people holding him to the light will eventually pay off.

(2,559 posts)In "The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui", Bertold Brecht devotes considerable stage time to the wanna-be cabbage king practicing strutting, glowering, and posing with crossed arms to look more authoritarian.
But Trump, like Ui, is an illiterate buffoon, and would never read it and certainly never see it performed.

tanyev
(42,516 posts)President Trump told staffers working on his campaign that he wanted to look 'like [Winston] Churchill' in photographs and images, believing that he would appear tougher according to a new report in The New York Times.
That is why Donnie, like Winnie, reportedly prefers to scowl, squint and maintain a general sourpuss on his face whenever he is in front of a camera.
It also explains why President Trump may have returned the bust of the prime minister to the Oval Office, with the proximity to his own desk allowing him to practice the downcast frown and furrowed brow favored by the former leader of the United Kingdom.

(10,094 posts)During the lockdown a grabbed a few books from the library. Right now reading Finest Hour, about 1200 pages about Churchill in the early war years. He could be abrasive and egotistical but he was the leader they needed for the times. Trump knows nothing about leadership, ole Winnie would be rolling in his grave to hear trump thing that way. As many have mentioned hes much closer to Il Duce that anyone else.
By the way at the bottom of the linked article there was an advertisement for what I thought was a new sci-fi movie or something. It was an advertisement for Space Force. On one hand I cant believe the military is buying into that farce, but knowing how they operate Im sure some of the generals just see it as a way to line up at the trough and buy some new high tech toys. Their most important rule is to spend every dime they can get and they actually budget for over 100% expenditures to make sure they dont end up having to give any money back at the end of the year.
lark
(23,061 posts)Can't stand listening to him or seeing him, every time it makes my bad stomach clench with loathing and concern about how he intends to kill us for personal profit and rw ascendancy. He is too ugly, inside and out, to watch, he literally makes my skin crawl as well as making me feel sick. I hate even seeing short clips on Rachel or Nicole's show, it's just so sad and frustrating that someone who zero intelligence and all rqv malevolence is profiteering off our deaths and seeking tons mow of death for peresonal & political profit is just more than I can take.

(164 posts)Folks,
About trying to censor him from the news. For me its the voice that is impossible to cope with. I can manage a few images popping up, but I have to turn the sound off to avoid the voice.
I'm in the UK and love listening to classical music on radio 3, a station with no adverts. But, and it's a big but, they have regular news bulletins and for a while the announcer started with 'Donald Trump ....blah blah' I mean in the middle of a frigging concert they have to give me that reminder!
I had to pack in the station, couldn't even stand hearing the name.
Fortunately that has eased off now, with the news of the virus. Well, actually he is a kind of virus.

(497 posts)Do you think that's what the devil looks like. I was watching his press conference (rally) the other day when he said that he did not intend wearing a mask. He started to compare himself to great presidents, prime ministers and royalty more or less insinuating that they wouldn't do it. I feel so sorry for the journalists who are there to question him.
