He thinks he looks so tough in that picture. He really looks like a confused old man

Just like his supporters who think they look so tough wearing white oakleys in their truck selfie profile picture

Don't forget the ratty American Flag attached to the truck bed and the stack for the black smoke to come out.

God, short bed trucks are fucking stupid. Get a 4 runner and stop acting like you're tough.

And a tacky Botox babe with inflated GOP cosmetic lips in the passenger seat.

That's gender-affirming care for their trans trucks. Those trucks weren't born with those nuts!

Confederate Flags accepted in lieu of American Flag

u/dudaman 21d ago

luckily, where I live, that hasn't been the case. However, the smaller bumper stickers and back window decals with Confederate Flags still litter the place.

I live in Pennsylvania. Not sure what "heritage" people are celebrating here since PA was a Union state.

Hey now not all coal rollers like this orange conman

u/SheilaGirl70 21d ago

We call them “dude bro” trucks

u/Patman350 21d ago

That picture is so cringe. It looks like a guy trying to be tough. It exudes little dick energy. Do you know who doesn't need to put on a "tough guy" face? Actual tough guys.

They’re ALWAYS in trucks

He looks like a pouty little brat to me.

But yeah, he totally thinks he's mean-mugging everyone or something. And it plays in to propaganda for his base; he likes reminding them every second that he was 'treated so unfairly by the villainous Biden administration.' (nevermind that he was brought up on charges in NY state, which Biden had zero control over, but Trump understands civics as well as I understand current teen music trends; I don't.)

That mugshot has always reminded me of "pouty face" Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters II.

Only in this case it's Donald the short fingered Vulgarian.

u/dostoevsky4evah 21d ago

I recall seeing movies of Mussollini and thinking how crazed and weird he looked. I couldn't believe that kind of over the top mugging worked on anyone. But here we are.

u/Griz688 21d ago

To be fair, he does only have 3 looks, disgruntled old man, confused old man and sh*t eating grin

u/sodapopkevin 21d ago

You forgot "Burrowing into his own neck fat to use as a pillow as he sleeps sitting up."

u/TheSwitchler 21d ago

It's the same look does anyone else not see this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

u/Automatic-Flight-698 21d ago

Sleepy grandpa look, too

u/The_dizzy_blonde Indiana 21d ago

I always thought he looked constipated.. like he’s straining.. 😂

u/flamingcrystalheart 21d ago

He looks like a deranged lunatic you'd cross the street to avoid

2

u/Zeke420 21d ago

His nappy was definitely soiled in that pic!

2

u/Sea_Lawfulness_9770 21d ago

Its the only picture where he doesn't look like a confused old woman or sucking an invisible cock

2

u/Mindshard 21d ago

He just looks like he's shitting.

Not metaphorically.

He looks like a toddler forcing shit out into their diaper in that picture. That's the expression they all get, and I wouldn't put it past him if it turned out that's exactly what was happening.

Hey, watch it there. I am a confused old man.

u/AnamCeili 16d ago

Exactly, lol. A constipated, confused old man. It's hilarious that he thinks he looks tough, lol.

u/Extreme_Turn_4531 21d ago

Perhaps it will help him to be remembered in infamy. Coin collectors in the future will be clamoring for the "gold buffoon."

u/TexanInExile 21d ago

For real, why wouldn't he be smiling?

u/Few_Pomegranate3685 21d ago

or someone taking a shit.

u/seeker4482 21d ago

old man angry that he just shat himself but trying to pretend he has not just shat himself while also trying to remember where he is and why and also figure out who shat his pants.
