     Perhaps, but if I did, I’d like to think I’d get better results

     I mean, think about it: he has to have been obsessing about this — he’s so concerned with theatrics and appearances and press — and this facial expression was the •winner•. The mind boggles wondering what the rejected poses looked like.

     @inthehands It's a "Mom won't buy me beer" expression.

     “He could have struck a Kennedy or FDR hero pose”
     Not sure he’s capable of that, tbh! But for sure “ready to avenge” was what he wa showing for…just maybe not “petulant and psychologically unstable”

     He could have struck a Kennedy or FDR hero pose, forward looking, aspirational, looking beyond, but instead he chose feral, ccornered rat with hint of fear/terror, but definitely threatening and ready to avenge if let loose.
