   The Kubrick stare: weirdly, it makes Trump look more serious and presidential than most of his publicity stills and portraits!

     @cstross I did not believe it at first, but, evidently, it is the "real" #mugshot, posted as such by major digital and legacy media. Trump has the corners of his mouth turned down unlike the feral "smile" of the Kubrick stare, so he is more peak petulant than predator. An angry narcissist cornered and exposed.

     I don't see similiarities or dissimilarities with "the Kubrick stare" but with Rasputin's.

     Obviously, the "Rasputin stare" could have been the model for the "Kubrcik stare".
