It's everywhere. I think it's just plain disturbing looking.

(915 posts)it's one thing to be aware of and have a legit stake in what's going on with him. But I know so many heads he's been living in rent-free

(52,914 posts)Its creepiness grows. It's not defiant in the face of surrender, it's not vengeance, it's diabolical. It's the stare of someone about to fry hundreds of thousands of people because of anger. Be very afraid.

(21,851 posts)I hate that pic, and I am very sick of seeing it, because it creeps me tf out! You just summed up what bothers me about it:
Other people have made fun of the mugshot, saying it's all fake, he practiced his "tough guy" look in the mirror, etc. I imagine he did practice in he mirror for it, but I think he ended up showing a lot more of himself in it than he may have intended to. When I look into those piggy little eyes, I see murderous rage, and it does frighten me.
I agree that he's angry enough to "fry hundreds of thousands of people." Fortunately, I don't think he has the power to do that now. Sure, he has the power to rile up his cultists to do bad things, but I believe his days of being able to raise an army like he did on January 6 are over.
That belief, along with my resolve to do all I can to make damned sure he never has the power of the presidency at his disposal ever again, are what keep me sane these days. He's a monster, but Jack Smith and Fani Willis are getting ready to defang and declaw him. And I can't wait to watch it happen!

The Wandering Harper
(915 posts)other than the closure of seeing him in a certain color jump suit,
would be from the alternate timeline where he did NOT miss his true calling as a magician specializing in pulling tiny flags from his nostrils
All of it, also including his hair, his lies, and the media following every sighting and utterance. Gak.
TSExile
(3,363 posts)...the enormous red ties, the rumpled suits, the orange makeup, his preening...
...his thumbs up gesture, his little dance he did where he looked like a freakshow, his self-congratulatory clapping, all of it.
He truly is a one-man freakshow.
TSExile
(3,363 posts)...all those stupid motions he always makes with his hands. What IS that???

(16,989 posts)I think his true calling was grifting and he's really, really good at that. He's good at identifying the gullible people who will part with their money for a snake oil concoction.
The Wandering Harper
(915 posts)some kind of shouty accordion man gimmick or a magician specializing in pulling tiny flags from his nostrils. I would've paid good money to see that show. I'm being silly here, mostly. Maybe half. But have you seen the photoshops of him with the nose flags?

(114,825 posts)But on closer inspection, he looks frightened. He looks scared.
His face looks defiant but his eyes say, "I'm about to crap in my diaper".

In fact General Discussion here is ALMOST 100% Trumpthis, trumpthat, trump24/7.
Could the powers that be MOVE all this horse hockey to a separate forum: allowing some sort of GENERAL discussion actually
exist in the forum called General Forum?

Hm. Trying to see the downside to this.
Well, other than how it would make me want to saw off my arm to get rid of the contamination of touching his filth. I'd say chew it off, but I don't want to risk getting his filth into my teeth.
