That facial Anus of his releasing a big cloud of gas. It exits every orifice he has. His mushroom probably farts as well.
Maybe he has been holding his breath all morning to not smell his own stench and he finally had to exhale.

But glad you had a laugh during these horrible conditions we try to cope with. We have to find a way to or it will destroy us all.
Cheers, and laugh every time ya can.
And a fart from that tiny mushroom cap would be very high pitched. Maybe only dogs can hear it, before being shot in the face.

Sure, we all occasionally make funny faces and maybe the photographer caught Trump in a really awkward moment. However, my relatives with dementia began making these kinds of strange facial grimaces as their illnesses progressed.

Around 2006, I taught smoking cessation workshops at corporations. American Lung Association offered them and I was a facilitator. One of the tactics we advised quitters to do was deep breathing. It is called a natural form of stress relief because people do it without thinking when they are under stress.

We would advise quitters who wanted a cigarette to instead do "deep breathing" 10 or 20 times. It would allay the feelings of wanting a cigarette.

The very least this picture shows is that he is feeling enormous stress.

So I think he stuffed his mouth full of Diet Coke so he could slowly swallow it while in court, to get his caffeine fix so he stays awake.

Just don't make him laugh.

That would really make TFG upset because that is the face of a man who knows that

or health care worker had cleaned him up.

We've been talking about how he's unraveling. I don't think I've ever seen him look worse--and that's saying something.

OTOH, maybe his lawyer bitchslapped him up alongside the head for effing up so bad in court.

Hahah, I hope Judge Merchan sees this. Hey, Judge, look at DJT after a day in your court!

I doubt that Trump** s smart enough to learn to play eithrt, but maybe someone can think of wsome quip about it.

Of course there's always Flanders and Swann's song "Ill Wind" - that's the French horn - much more difficult but the mouthpiece is similar.
