What the fuck that smile is going to haunt my goddamn dreams

Giving very Uncanny Valley.

It's because (in addition to it being a fake photo) we're so used to seeing his mouth closed when he smiles.. i.e. a forced, media smile.

People also just smile in different ways I for one would never smile with teeth

Is that smile some kind of filter? Looks uncanny af

it’s from faceapp. couldn’t bother editing it properly lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I compared with the WH smile it's close, faceapp did a fine job.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I didn’t even know this old man could smile!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think the uncanny smile is taken from the official WH picture.

What consequences? A mugshot he's gonna sell on a t-shirt and his goons can use in a million propaganda memes? We're gonna get him any day now guys. Just keep posting it's definitely gonna happen this time. /s

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah I've no idea why they allowed him to pose for the shot. It should be stand straight and head leveled. Instead he's doing his strongman serious pose to sell it later.

Though his red eyes make it look like he’s been crying

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because it was taken by Georgia cops. His supporters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, having to go to a courtroom and pose for a picture are not what I would consider "consequences." But it's a start.

He really is a wolf in grandma's clothing. What big teeth he has.

Is that an Aphex Twin album cover? Man, haven't listened to him in forever. His music videos were always such a ride.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not like he's ever see the jail cell to be honest, so I don't think there's any consequence

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be incredibly funny for him to become the second person in history to run for president from prison though ngl

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Second? Oh please don't let it be Mandela. This would be a terrible comparison.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The first and currently only person to run for the US presidency from prison was a socialist called Eugene V. Debs, he also helped found the IWW and the DSA. He was repeatedly arrested for labour activism and criticising the foreign policy of the USA until he died in 1926.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Didn't John McAfee (the antivirus guy turned crazy hillbilly) try to run for president from prison? I seem to remember something about that, but it may have been a fever dream.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You’re forgetting Leonard peltier

So what do we do if that happens? If Trump and his goons are never actually jailed, or even let off or pardoned? What do we the people do?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Trump only has two expressions: Smug gloating, and grumpy. That smile is a photoshop.
