The “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick’s most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
It’s beyond Kubrick, he’s hitting them with that Megamind Dreamworksface
Also TIL: Kubrick Stare
but he not looking at the camera
The chance that the cop photographer taking this picture didn’t do his very best to help Trump stage the pose and angle is miniscule.

he will have to serve his term from prison if Georgia convicts, though. can’t pardon himself of a state offense and Georgia’s pardon system isn’t handled by the governor – you have to serve 5 years and then be pardoned by a board of 5.
Or, he’ll do what he does in literally every other situation, ignore that, say “what’re you foing to do about it” and then the libs will right 2000 opinion pieces on why somebody (not them obviously maybe another lifelong republican spook) should do something to stop them.
…or you have to get the right wing psychos on the supreme court to make up a bullshit legal principle.
i’m gonna vote for him. i want to see the US fall into total chaos lol
Can’t wait for this comment to show up in a ‘how Hexbear is actually fascist not communist’ compilation post on lemmy.world

Imagine thinking the Dems are not doing as much if not more to destroy the US lol.
I guess you could say that during the whole “harm reduction” shit in 2020, but then just look at how that turned out…
It doesn’t matter which party is in office. This shit is on rails now.
Im not voting for a dang cheeto but i know it doesnt matter in medium term. any liberal who thinks youre wrong is blind to reality. Half of the US country are fascists, thats the future of the US.
Quick question to settle a bet:
What are your sincere thoughts about donald trump, and would you actually vote for him
Sorry lol
i want to beat him to death with my bare fists on live tv
We need it as an emoji

I just feel like we had more fun speculating about meme potential than we’ll ever have actually using the mugshot as a meme
Ok but where the fuck does this even come from cause it fucking sends me every time I see his hamsterface
It’s a screen cap Jake Paul posted when he revealed he facetimes with Trump
I should’ve expected that tbh
i took it when he was cumming on my tits obvs
A face that says “I’m not owned! I’m not owned!”
But we can all tell that he was, in fact, owned
HOLY CRAP THE EMOJI CREW WORKS FAST
Glory to comrade @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net
Looks like a kid who just finished up a tantrum, started to stomp off, and then mom says “get back over here right now mister” and he turns around with this face.
Hmph! I’m not your best friend anymore!
As funny as this is, he does genuinely look evil. Not just a generic mob boss bad guy though, more like a Kenneth Copeland actual demon in a flesh suit sort of vibe.

There’s def that too, but bear with my purely anecdotal experience for a moment. I’ve been around a lot of psychopaths in my life, and after a while you seem to get this sense for when they’re putting on the mask they want you to interpret as something more innocent. I’ve heard that being neurodivergent also helps with this sense, idk I just post here. Anyway, to me I see indignant anger saying “how dare you try to shame me”, and at the same time he’s fighting for it to cover his fear that he knows he’s done wrong - hand in the cookie jar if you will. But under that, what I see is hatred for anything that does not praise him and a willingness to harm. See that “how dare you” bit to me is also a genuine emotion for him. With that, he knows he has power, and he is willing to use it to harm his detractors. Not for vengeance, but for cruelty sake and the exercise of power itself. To me, the love of power like that has always felt spiritually evil. Thanks for coming to me HexBear talk.

that would explain some stuff. anecdotally, I have a shaaarp sense of when someone is trying to manipulate me. like the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.
I usually feel a laugh welling up, but I stop myself because it takes a moment for me to realize that they’re being serious. I routinely feel like it’s so ridiculous on its face that they can’t be serious… Oh wait, this isn’t some kind of a bit?
Kubrick Stare + Blue Steel
He looks like a cartoon.
Our posters are impeccable
I expected him to have a smug smile
deleted by creator
If it’s anything like the DMV they may not allow you to smile
They’re canceling smiles, folks!
Maybe just lore, but I’ve heard sometimes the picture-takers will try to induce people to smile to sour how they’re handled by others in the system, since the smiling supposedly indicates a lack of remorse or concern for the gravity of the charge. I read one thing that suggested prosecutors will show a grinning mugshot to anger the jury. I also heard never eat PopRocks then drink a Coke because your stomach will tear open.
The smiling mugshot was one of the things that tanked Pablo Escobars political career allegedly. Though that’s probably just a lib analysis ignoring material conditions and the like
My first thought lmao
Literally, and anyone thinking it’s not a bad look for his supporters, it goes so hard because it’s so fucking silly.
I don’t think it looks that bad for him honestly? He’s not like disheveled, and the Anger Stare isn’t the worst kind of thing to project to his followers.
if you open your window you can hear in the distance the faint thrum of the t-shirts going into the screen printers
Agreed, he doesn’t want to smile as if saying “don’t worry guys, I’ll be fine!” because that only admits that he is not in charge and has to hope for the best outcome. He wants his supporters to directly attack the process and not passively hope.
he doesn’t want to smile
Trump basically never smiles, except some rare instances for staged official photos.
He also never laughs. He was raised to believe that doing either would show weakness.
Fucking miserable bastard.
One of the eerier signs of an outright true narcissist is that they don’t laugh. Maybe a smirk, maybe a snicker of approval, but actual emotionally vulnerable laughter just doesn’t happen.
my partner’s bird fucking laughs – he knows it’s something people do when someone says something funny so he laughs to be part of the conversation. how do you manage to miss something so core to being human that a fucking bird picked up on it?? I know narcissism is borne out of trauma but it never fails to blow my mind. laughter is so deeply human that it’s one of a small number of gestures that transcends all languages. even chimpanzees laugh.
I think laughter is for the birds
he’s the only soul on earth that laughs at literally all of my jokes.
Goob birb
That is truly wild. 50 million drones voted for a puppet whom they’ve never seen laugh
He’s so happy here, it’s ridiculous
If you hate his guts you see a psychopath seething with anger, if you kind of like the guy you see a defiant underdog.
What nobody sees is the humiliated powerless underclass criminal that libs were hoping to see. The trump campaign are going to make this picture into an icon for their undeserved victim complexes.
