He looks like Grandpa Munster. It is part of his facial architecture in that his nose is so long that it creates a shadow, hiding an upper lip. In facebook reality, one must have a great smile and his nose overwhelms the smile. His eyes are droopy, too. Not Elvis or Rambo bedroom eyes but hound dog and sad. He needed plastic surgery early on.

BTW, his high school picture doesn't have those traits but his nose has grown as he has aged. In high school, he looked like a member of Kotter's Sweathogs. Without doubt, he is the least attractive man to seek the White House since LBJ--and he kinda looks like him, too. All of this could be oversome, but he doesn't have the natural humor, timing, or extrovert nature to let any charisma overcome his appearance.
