"Stroppy."
"Etymology: From obstropulous, obsolete slang form of obstreperous, + -y.... Adjective: (UK, Australia, New Zealand, slang) Ornery, fractious, belligerent, or obstreperous, and hence difficult to deal with.... Quotation: 2010, Gillian Bloxham, W. Doyle Gentry, Anger Management For Dummies, UK edition: Even today, women who show signs of anger and who express themselves in some assertive way may be labelled stroppy for doing so" (Wiktionary).[Trump] no doubt workshopped his stroppy mug-shot look in front of the mirror, trying to convey “Never surrender!” as he was literally surrendering. And in another master stroke of projection, he accused the prosecutors pursuing him for election interference of “election interference.”
Using UK/Australia/New England slang is a sign of elitism.
“It’s violent,” Trump said of the jail where, as he let his fans know in his fund-raising email, he was given booking number 2313827. “The building is falling apart. Inmates have dug their fingers into the crumbling walls and ripped out chunks to fashion over 1,000 shanks. Just this year alone, 7 inmates have died in that jail.”Yep, he’s getting scared.
I wouldn't interpret it that way. He's got his Secret Service protection, and these cases will drag out for years, perhaps for the rest of his natural lifespan. He's 77 already. He's not going to be assassinated by a cellmate wielding a shank. What I see in that quote is a genius communicator reaching out to the underclass of people who feel oppressed by the criminal justice system. He's empathizing with everyone who has felt intimidated by the ill-controlled institution that is the Fulton County Jail. I remember when liberals felt they needed to care about the experience of the incarcerated and saw it as a constitutional violation to augment a lawful prison sentence with the mental torture of fear and the exposure to violence from other inmates. Dowd is laughing at this additional punishment. It's painfully garish.
Here's one example of the kind of response to the mugshot I'm seeing on TikTok:
I maintain healthy skepticism about the real source of videos like that. Maybe it's old white men. But scrolling through TikTok recently I saw many videos of young black men reacting positively to the Trump mugshot (and it certainly wasn't because they perceived fear in that glowering face):@loco_popo2 ♬ original sound - loco_popo2
AND: Here are some young white men reacting on TikTok. It's comparatively lightweight, but it's not anti-Trump, just laughing at everything:@shaneyyricchh Americans break down how Trump’s mugshot will stop him from winning the election. #fyp #wow #mugger #atlanta #interview #trump #biden #shaneyyricch ♬ original sound - shaneyyricch
