Who knew sitting on the couch with an icepack could project such a scary shadow?

Sad!

Look, when your head hurts, you don't want to think about what you look like, and you especially don't care what shadow you give off.

On Reddit, user cdnchef was having a headache, so his girlfriend gave him an icepack. She then freaked out over the veryyyy familiar shadow that he cast on the wall behind him.

We are very fortunate/scared that they took a photo and shared it with the rest of us.

Sitting on the couch with an ice pack perched on his head, his shadow, unfortunately, looked exactly Donald Trump.

Yikes, not even our own living rooms are safe.

Welp, this brings a totally new meaning to being afraid of your own shadow.
