(34,117 posts)Not sure about a photo lid.
Generally a "lid" means there are no more anticipated newsworthy events scheduled for the day so the journalists can go home. There are refrenences to white house/presidential lids at least back to the Bush I era.
I suspect a photo lid leaves open the possibility for statements without physical appearances.

(2,198 posts)His tone of voice, his body language, he's textbook narcissist.
One for the history books if we can ever get beyond this.

(2,198 posts)When he's high, he uses a higher pitch and sing-song cadence, strategic emphasis and pauses for effect.
He rocks side to side, smiles that creepy smile, it's all just too disturbing but I watch hoping to catch his inner self slip out, as it often does with lies and insults.

(47,678 posts)that whatever he would do or say would only make things worse. Apparently someone got through to him for a change. Or he is too drugged up to talk to the nation.

(17,202 posts)A day without a new picture of Fishylips McFatbutt is like a sunny day in the mid-70s with a gentle breeze carrying the faint scent of magnolias.
Beats the smell of sulphur that seems to show up whenever he makes a public appearance.
