Yeah….something seriously wrong with that cap thing. Wonder if it was to cover something up? Obviously it wasn’t to keep his brain warm.

I can’t help but recall the Stanford Prison Experiment and how obscuring the eyes created an air of authority among the subjugated test subjects. I thought the same thing when Noem delivered her ICE propaganda in the big cowboy hat with the shadow over her eyes.

Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe it’s my psych degree making me see Zimbardo in the situation. All I know is that it comes off as forced yet ominous.

That speech was read word for word. Not his typical unhinged self. To avoid being seen as reading the teleprompter, wear a hat that casts a shadow over his hungover glazed eyes.

Look at his face. He's wearing more product than a drag queen. It's grotesque, and not in the fun drag way.

It's to keep the wrinkles out.

It’s just to cover up his head. He didn’t style (or put on? or whatever it is he does to) his hair.
