1) the stupid look.
2) jutted jaw
3) showing his front teeth

He's from the WWE school of acting through facial expressions

Oops! I forgot the fake model smile when posing.

in the way most people do. He isn't interested in things that most people would consider fun or pleasurable or inspiring, except for golf. He doesn't go to plays or concerts; he doesn't seem to be interested in the arts at all; there's no evidence that he enjoys nature or travel or fine dining or sports other than golf; he doesn't like pets or children; he doesn't read; all he does in his spare non-golf time is watch TV to see what is being said about him. What an empty, sad, angry little life he has.

I would take pleasure in knowing that deep inside he is a truly miserable human being if it wasn't the reason for him causing so much pain and suffering in others. He is completely morally and spiritually bankrupt.

He does not exhibit any of the normal emotions one would expect from a non pathological person.

Nothing in his delivery shows any sympathy for anyone or anything & only shows true feeling when he's insulting someone.

7. The only photos that ever showed genuine happiness on his face

was when he brought the Russians into the White House. And the only reason we know about those photos is that Russian photographers released them to mock us. Trump wouldn’t allow American journalists in.

"Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

"A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever."

" I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty"
