His mug shot

I think he posed before a mirror for several days to come up with the pose in his mug shot. His mug shot pose is staged. Yes he's probably pissed, but his anger is what he wants his base to act out in words and deeds.

defiant look. But, they were likely speculating.

stand and how to tilt his head in ways that would make him look tough and at the same time hide his double and triple chins. The lighting was perfect and a makeup person did his face. No question. My sister did this years ago, and her head and face have looked the same in every photo since.
