This clip shows Trump waiting at the podium while his opponent walks over to thank moderator Chris Wallace. Having resolved not to shake Clinton’s hand, he was trying to time his exit from the stage so that he wouldn’t run into her.
Look at those teeth. The downturned lips. The clenching of his jaw and the rage in his stubby fingers as he rips that piece of paper out of his legal pad.
It’s the image of a man who knows he has fucked it all up yet again—a man who cannot escape himself, whose body is fighting to blow itself apart. Yes, he is on television and he knows people are watching, but for once he appears to be incapable of caring. One of the most human moments on live television.
