The artist probably tried to make him look better than he really does.

It almost looks like American Regionalism, which makes me like it.

Not uncommon for an artist to attempt to make the subject look better than they actually do.

Not as orange in the face; the hair isn’t as yellow (not blonde but YELLOW); the cheekbones aren’t as pronounced. Makes him look younger.

Yes, it makes him look almost human.

CFDT would rather look tough and ugly that 'normal'' and benign.

Of course he doesn't see himself as ugly.

Of course they are. The President of the United States does not need that kind of anxiety interfering with his very important duties.
