Well, the edges of the mouth are curved up compared to the middle of the mouth, so I count that as a smile rather than a grimace. :smile:

(I especially like that they did the raid the same week that Biden took out al-Zawahiri. That symbolism is unmistakable.)

@freemo

@Pat The edges of the mouth are curved up but the rest of the face looks a bit too distorted for it to be a genuine smile in my perception. It seems kinda like shock or surprise to me. So I have no clue what expression this is.

@freemo

@trinsec

I think it was actually intended to be ambiguous, just like almost everything else associated with the orange guy.

I don't generally don't like ambiguity (except sometimes in art) so I just picked a lane...

@trinsec @Pat @freemo As a facial recognition expert, it appears to be the sign of relief after a particularly severe bout of constipation has been surprisingly alleviated by an equally surprisingly painless treatment. (If only a German was here to christen my description with a ridiculously long compound word.)

Imagine it: you haven't pooped in a week and a half, you're bloated and miserable. Suddenly, after enjoying a delicious, laxative-laced stroopwafel, a stirring in your bowels begins that begets the smoothest pooping experience of your existence: a perfect log, a single clean wipe, and a feeling of contented ease unrivaled by anything you have or will ever experience. It's bittersweet, as you know it's all downhill from here.

It is **this** feeling of completely unexpected joy caused by the reversal of a (pun-intended) crappy experience by a stupid simple method, that I believe we are observing here. Truly, this expression exemplifies these circumstances, and only a few will have the joy of experiencing it for themselves.

P.S. In case it was non-obvious, the poop thing is just an (albeit gross) illustrative metaphor for the emotions behind the expression 😂

@johnabs

lol!

I hope that turd gets flushed away without clogging everything up or causing a big mess.

@trinsec @freemo

@johnabs That was pure poetry, man. I can see that kind of expression on his face, yes!

Now, how does that relate to this raid? ;)

@Pat @freemo

@trinsec
Ya see in this metaphore trumpnis the turd...
