House Speaker Nancy Pelosis subtle facial expressions during President Trumps State of the Union were more withering than anything she said after.
When she pursed her lips, extended her arms and clapped in Trumps direction, no one had to guess what she was thinking. Her sarcastic smirk was biting in a way words never could be.
As a mother and grandmother, Pelosi (D-Calif.) has mastered the art of conveying disappointment or scorn with a simple glance. What child hasnt been completely destroyed by a disappointing look from her mother?
That clap turned meme made the speakers own daughter Christine Pelosi recall how her mother could discipline without saying a word.
Christine Pelosi

(28,125 posts)Can someone reduce the size of this photo so that we can use it as an avatar.
Using just my cell phone doesn't give me the capacity to manipulate the size of photos.
Here's another version that'd be nice too:

I'd certainly change my avatar if someone could create one.

When I was a waitress and was taking the order from families the children always looked at mom to see if they could have what they wanted. The slightest nod or shake was all that was needed.

The stare from a prison warden might be more effective.

Trump and Peter Brant would take the subway into Manhattan without their parents knowing, Blair said. (Trump mentioned taking the F train near his home in a New York Times interview.)
The two would go to a magic store on West 49th Street and Broadway, according to Blair. "There they bought stink bombs and smoke bombs and plastic vomit," she wrote. "Another favorite was hot peppered gum, which they gave to unsuspecting schoolmates. After seeing 'West Side Story,' they became fascinated with switchblades."
When his father found the switchblades, Trump was sent to the New York Military Academy, Brant said in Blair's book.
