People have discussed how Trump’s facial expressions seem to have been patterned after various animal kingdom physiognomies, particularly those that he thinks will register feral dominance. The problem is that he is a part, however aberrant, of the human community. As a result he never seems to register accurate or appropriate human reactions. For example, what was his face trying to convey when he exploited the Bible for a photo op two years ago. Resolution? It was impossible to extrapolate from that face any relevant message. That’s compounded by the botox problem–he face often seems simply inert.
