Why do they over-smile so absurdly?

Is anyone really fooled?

Imagine the training and important practice sessions for these important men, to get their important faces just right.

I wonder how many shots it takes for the photographer to get all the faces to look spontaneous and just right.

... and how stupid do you need to be to be stupid enough to believe anyone is stupid enough to fall for what this stupid pic is trying to say?

I think the smiling by everyone ELSE is simply a survival mechanism at this point. No guarantees of course.

They can’t out-hair the Donster, so they are overcompensating in maniacal grins?

Everyone but the lunatic in the middle is probably at risk of being killed or vanished by the lunatic in the middle so their lives depend on appearing to be as enthusiastic and supportive of his stupidity as possible.

Someone farted?

In that first picture, Dim Dong Duh is probably laughing at something the President of the USA said.

LOL

Perhaps, but of course the Dear Leader doesn't fart.

 

[ringo865]

Bet he "fluffs" instead.

Exactly. There is a link between non-enthusiastic support of this special leader and one's life expectancy.
