1. This reminds me of descriptions of Nixon looking out at the protesters.

The same guilt, the same fear.

[nolabear]

3. Exactly. He looks like a ghost.

[maddiemom]

26. A BLOATED ghost.

[guillaumeb]

41. Perhaps he finally sees how history will see him. eom

[wnylib]

30. Fear, yes. Guilt? Not so much. He is incapable

of feeling guilt. That would require a conscience.

[bdamomma]

2. what a evil

POS. No he will not win this.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

4. He reminds me of Ebenezer Scrooge facing the Ghost of Christmas yet to come.

[Wawannabe]

34. Thread winner!

[The Figment]

36. Ghost of Impeachment yet to be. Nt

[dflprincess]

60. But, unlike Ebenezer, meeting the ghost will not change him

Though Spanky will probably offer it a bribe to change things.

[DanieRains]

5. Awesome

Photo

[RainCaster]

6. He looks like he just crapped his drawers

[TheBlackAdder]

48. Well, that Depends! 😂

[maddiemom]

78. Good One (or Pun)!

[kmla]

82. I see what you did there...

It took me a minute, but I did see it...

Well done!

[marlakay]

7. Spoilt rich kid never had to face

The music. Money has bought his way out of crime all his life.

[BluesRunTheGame]

8. Happy Fucking Holidays Donald!

[Thekaspervote]

23. danced to jailhouse rock

[nolabear]

9. "Rosebud..."

[dchill]

42. You wish.

[CaptYossarian]

61. Is that for Stormy's lady parts?

That was for all of us who know the Charles Foster Kane backstory.

[enid602]

64. rosebud

You misheard. He wasn't saying 'rosebud,' but rather 'Rosneft.'

[yellowcanine]

10. That is the one Time should put on the cover of the Impeachment Issue.

There ya go Cheeto, you got your Time cover.

[nolabear]

11. Perfect. "It was a perfect photo."

[CaptYossarian]

63. You mean Trump looking at the outside world through bars.

[NCjack]

80. He will look good with stripes on his shoulders. nt

[CaptYossarian]

81. I was picturing him in the orange jumpsuit, rendering his face invisible.

Paint the cell walls orange too. It'll just be a patch of fake yellow straw doing circles--just like that scene in Midnight Express with the insane people going around the pole.

[hedda_foil]

18. I bet it will be. It's the one that will be in the history books. So perfectly captures his mood.

There may be a Pulitzer for that shot.

[Catherine Vincent]

45. Yes!

[dalton99a]

12. Kick

[OMGWTF]

20. You scared bro? You look scared.

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. Miserable SOB!

[flibbitygiblets]

54. As Dean Wormer said in Animal House: "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son"

&feature=youtu.be

[CaptYossarian]

65. "Calgon, take me away!"

[Hekate]

13. Fear. Rage. The Abyss staring back at him...

If he had a soul, I'd call this his dark night of the soul.

[nolabear]

14. Boy that rally's going to be a doozy.

What do you have to do to try not to feel like THAT?

[Hekate]

17. He could dust off his "American Apocalypse" speech & tell his worshippers it's midnight in America

...and that he alone can fix it. That might give him a temporary lift.

That photo is destined to be a classic.

[scrabblequeen40]

74. "Midnight in America" --LOL!

I'm stealing that!

[Hekate]

75. Be my guest! Ronald Reagan (or his speechwriter, Peggy Noonan) had the gift of uplifting words...

Now, personally I think Ronnie was a fraud, but you have to admit that phrases like "It's morning in America" and " ( America is) a shining city on a hill" really resonate with how we have always liked to see ourselves. Those words called out to our better natures.

Every president in my lifetime, no matter which party, has managed to produce something uplifting and fairly optimistic for an acceptance speech at his nomination and for his Inaugural speech.

Not Donald Trump. With him, what you see is what you get: dark, thuggish, full of hate and derision. At every moment when he is offered a chance to show us something else, he reverts to what he is and how he sees the world. There is no "morning" imagery, just grievance and resentment.

My most enduring impression of his acceptance speech will always be of Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, two experienced Republican operatives/commentators working for NBC, sitting in the darkness of the arena afterward, absolutely stunned and sickened by what they had just witnessed. Schmidt started talking about the Constitution and the intent of the Framers with depth and insight, and the man just choked up.

[Hekate]

76. Forgot to,say: Welcome to DU!

[crickets]

19. I think you've described it perfectly. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. that's his reflection ...

You'd be scared, too, if you saw that thing staring at you.

[spooky3]

15. loved the tweet reply: "the bars on the windows need to be closer together" nt

[malaise]

16. ROFL

[spooky3]

37. ha!

[pamela]

22. Time ought to put that on their cover

With one word...Impeached

[Catherine Vincent]

46. Yes

[Dagstead Bumwood]

24. The "stabe genius" looks like

he really needs to make a dookie.

[lastlib]

29. or filled up his Depends.

[democrank]

25. Keep this away from the children.

If you look at just that one window pane that surrounds his head, it could be a mug shot. A Thug Mug shot.

[SunSeeker]

27. LOL

[llmart]

28. Hope he's as miserable as he looks...

because that's how miserable he's made us since he stole the election from Hillary.

[Maven]

31. The face of a cornered psychopath. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

32. that's as accurate a description as I'll see all evening

[SergeStorms]

35. Another "campaign rally"....

that the American taxpayers will pay for. If he didn't schedule these rallies, so he can lie through his teeth and vent his rage, he'd be just like Richard Nixon. He's be isolated and basting in his own noxious juices instead of getting idolization from brain-dead rubes who think he's Jebus.

[Joinfortmill]

38. Scary

[TeamPooka]

39. k&r

[Leith]

40. Fear, uncertainty, and anger

That's what I read in his face.

Good. It's about time he felt some small part of what he caused others.

[Hekate]

43. Showed it to hubby, who said: He's afraid. He's about to do something stupid, & no one can stop him.

[nolabear]

44. I hope not. And I hope somebody can. What a freakin' world.

I never thought it would be us. The bad guys.

2020 means EVERYTHING.

[democrank]

47. Kick

[canetoad]

49. Needs cropping

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

69. Some enterprising individual will replace the window frame with iron bars.

[Poiuyt]

70. Good one!

[Rhiannon12866]

71. Saving this just to look at, if you don't mind!

[Stuart G]

50. That photo is now on the front page of the New York Times...

https://www.nytimes.com/

[Susan Calvin]

51. I would feel sorry for him if

he hadn't done so much damage.

[CaptYossarian]

67. Yeah, it was more than a BJ from an intern.

[warmfeet]

52. Yes indeed.

It looks very much like he is behind bars.

Let us hope this is a portent, a harbinger of things to come.

[smirkymonkey]

53. What a pathetic loser.

He is such an asshole.

[2naSalit]

55. That's what I want to see...

Him leaving the Oval Office!!!

[H2O Man]

56. Recommended.

[VOX]

57. In a prison of his own making.

Would that prison had steel bars for good measure. When this MESS is over, and if America survives this monster and his fascist Republican gang, Trump will be a pariah for the rest of his life.

[Karma13612]

58. Perfection

And the old style “black and white” is VERY dramatic

Thanks for sharing!

[onetexan]

59. Low energy

Caused by impending impeachment

[live love laugh]

66. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[enid602]

62. Lights

He's staring at the purty lights. He'll need someone to clean up his drool real soon.

[Freedomofspeech]

68. This is brilliant!!

That motherfucker deserves to suffer every single moment. He has caused misery to everyone with a heart and brain.🤗🤗🤗

[LudwigPastorius]

72. I hope everybody has a happy holiday!

Except that orange slime mold squatting in the People's House.

He can choke on it.

[Harker]

73. The festive lights are a nice touch.

Now that he knows he's being 'spied' on in The Oval Office, he'll have to stop wiping his boogers on the underside of the desk.

[SWBTATTReg]

77. Loser.

[mudstump]

79. He looks like a confused old man in an Alzheimer's care facility....

wondering why he's there.
