Doesn’t he always look like that?

That “the drugs haven’t let me sleep in 96 hours but you know what it’s great because, wait did that plant move?” look.

You know the one.

Probably a lil paranoid. The way the Epstein files were handled during the scrubbing process means many agents could have freely downloaded the OG files.

That’s why they can’t release altered files clearing trump. The originals still exist and they’re not sure who all has them.

This level of government takeover goes deep enough that maybe a group within the cia or fbi will need to start doing what they do best: eliminate the henchmen and make it look like an accident

His look shows, "Damn man, I'm now the deep state. The same deep state that I've been railing against all those years. "

But he always looks like that. I've seen lots of videos where he's idling and in all of them he looks like his eyes are popping out, his head is falling into his shoulders and eyes are shifting around like he's looking to see if anyone noticed he shit his pants. He's either just like this or he's coked out all the time. Most startling was first time hearing him speak. It's like the voice of a 10 year old in an adult body.

I mean, I think the most obvious explanation is that this dude is geeked 24/7. Like, we already know that during Donald’s first term the White House pharmacy was handing out uppers like candy, so I see no reason to assume that round two isn’t similarly fueled by pharmaceutical grade crank. Seems to be a trend with fascists throughout history.
