The Portable Lavater: Never judge a book by its forehead
- by Thibault Ehrengardt
Donald Trump - a witty and subtle man?
2. Donald Trump, US President.
- The forehead: “deep perpendicular wrinkles between the eyebrows indicate a man of great spirit.” A narrow forehead is the sign of an “unruly spirit”; and when bowed backward, “it tells of a fiery and ill-considering temperament, especially if the bones of the eyes are not very remarkable.”
- The eyebrows: “when thick, compact and well drawn(...), they are the marks of a sure judgement.”
- The eyes: when sharp near the nose, they tell of a “witty and subtle” man.
- The mouth: “an often closed mouth with well-pronounced features” belongs to the greedy; when far from the nose, it shows “a lack of prudence”.
