I was struck by this photo of Young Steve Bannon, in this writeup of his early years:
Surprisingly I have, without knowing it, just gotten used to looking for a face that has a negative affect on the person’s left side, which they are trying to hide, and a right side of their face which exhibits a positive, sunny disposition they are trying to present to the world, to prevent the world from realizing they are a monster of some flavor inside.
This rule should shift in the case of left-handed people, but I see them so rarely, I have still managed to get programmed to look to the person’s left side. Thus when I saw Bannon’s picture, with a much more positive affect on the left side than the right, I wondered if he was left handed, and hiding the focused machine on the right with the positive, mischievous, amused character on the left.
It turns out probably not. I base that on this image, where his glass is positioned to be picked up by his right hand:
It may also be supported, though not determined, by his hair part:
More than 90 percent of right-handers have hair whorls that rotate clockwise, making it natural for them to part their hair on the left and comb the top to the right. Some may choose to part their hair on the other side for aesthetic reasons, such as enhancing a preferred side of the face, but their hair will not lay that way as easily.
Also there are far more pictures of him gesturing to crowds with his right hand, sometimes as he holds folded paper in his left, as a right-handed person would do.
Moreover, my gut read on his personality is that he is an amused, mischievous joker, which would fit with the left side of his face more than the right.
He is the first case I have seen of an individual who not only doesn’t present a sunnier version of himself to others in an attempt to manipulate them and seek positive treatment, but who actually conceals a positive affect, thus hiding a positive aspect of himself from the world in front of him.
It is very interesting psychologically, and speaks to a guy who is not some phony manipulator seeking to avoid conflict by ingratiating himself, even though underneath he is the type of amused actor who exclaims, “Honey Badger don’t give a fuck!”
He would seem a very good fit in the God Emperor’s administration.

Have you done Trump’s face?
I have not been triggered by it, which I would guess is because both sides are similar – meaning he isn’t consciously trying to project a false image to the world, and failing slightly on his left side.
Or his hypnosis training is making him strike a non-amygdala-triggering expression to minimize resistance.
I’ll take look at some point.
Bannon is left handed. I am unable to post the pictures. A search will bring up pictures of him sitting at a conference table with his pen on the left and/or his work area absolutely set up for a “lefty”…(cleared on the left side with all other things being on the right – phones, papers, etc. It is the exact opposite set up for folks who are right handed in that they clear a space on the right so they can write.)
I mention this to see if that changes the narrative of your story?
I’ve been through the photos, and there are more indices of right handedness that I have seen. I believe handedness affects it, but as I have said, it is a hypothesis, and it could be wrong.
BTW, you are the first person I have ever see to name themselves a saint. Interesting, more so than the facial handedness thing.
