his image for today and posterity to look like a ruthless, rage-filled, cold-eyed killer type. It's what he considers his best self image and public image. It's how he wants to be known and remembered.

Most people want their photos to show an attractive, intelligent, friendly person. Or for professional photos to show a serious minded person. Even in serious professional photos, people either smile or have a hint of a smile.

But Trump wants to be seen as a villain, even while he claims not to be one. Such a sharp contrast the picture is to his claims of innocence.
