"He stormed toward the door of the White House, scowling and...

...appearing to repeatedly open his mouth as though he wanted to speak before closing it again quickly."

There's video at the link below, but I couldn't embed it since it's from Vimeo.

Watch Trump’s lonely and silent walk of shame as he arrives at the White House on #StormySunday



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/watch-trumps-lonely-silent-walk-shame-arrives-white-house-stormysunday/

For all his angry tweets and generally poor temperament, Donald Trump is normally happy-go-lucky when the bright lights are on and he has no obligation to answer questions.

But the normally cheery Trump looked dour as he arrived back at the White House, where he will watch tonight’s bombshell 60 Minutes interview with his alleged former lover, Stormy Daniels.

He stormed toward the door of the White House, scowling and appearing to repeatedly open his mouth as though he wanted to speak before closing it again quickly.

Melania Trump is staying behind at Ma-A-Lago with the couple’s son.

We don’t need a picture of a pathetic, disgusting, disfigured, horrific man.
We have one in the flesh.

Trump changes with his picture, as you described, and it ain't pretty. Dorian, Faustus, and the Donald all made deals with the devil. That is what removes any comic aspect from Trump's pitiful life. He ends tragic, with no sympathy .. only Schadenfreude. And, one hopes, in gaol.

He's not exactly a spring chicken, and he's taken years off of his life with his diet, lack of exercise and probable drug use.

When he's talking he sucks air in through his nose. When he's walking, he sucks it in through his mouth.

I noticed his gasping for air through nose long before most people started noticing it - perhaps because in the early stages of his campaign I never saw him so I had nothing visual to distract me from his heavy snort. Basically I think he's air-deprived.

He's sucking air in through his nose. He never learned public speaking. Probably couldn't be bothered. He gives the best speeches.

The gasping at speeches, this open mouth breathing, etc. Might just be bad sinuses or being in terrible shape but that doctor's report rules those out.

I am thinking he might be rethinking that. Whadda ya bet he regrets running for President? If he had left well enough alone he could still be scamming people, laundering money and convincing people he is richer than god. Instead, he is under constant scrutiny, up to his baggy eyes in a serious investigation that looks like it might expose all of his lies and dirty tricks. I hope that Mueller airs all of his dirty laundry. I hope he shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a liar, a con and a cheat. He will rue the day he ever set his sights on the Presidency. At 71, it is not a good time in one’s life to be under this much stress and pressure. I can see gaskets blowing and arteries bulging. Not a happy outcome. But for us....there will be dancing in the streets! 💃🕺🏼👯?♀️💃🕺🏼

He watched it in the WH with Stormy? When Melania's away the big, fat, gross rat will play.

and some kids back then stole their mom's diet pills to use for "speed."

I think that Trump may still be on those diet pills.

It's white, its natural color, and allowing for the bizarre comb over, it looks vastly better.

Cheery is not an adjective I'd ever apply to the Trumpster. Arrogant, sarcastic, vindictive, moody, impulsive . . . all fit nicely. But cheery?

Who wrote this? Maggie H from the NYT? LOL. Ot maybe Pickles the child who presumably writes the Trumpster fan mail?

As for Melania? Lord, I feel your pain. Sort of
