I'm not a huge Hillary fan, as much as I'd like to see a female president, but I was impressed by her performance on the Daily Show:

Business Insider answers: why do we smile?
Studies (https://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/observer/2010/december-10/the-psychological-study-of-smiling.html) have shown that smiling can help us cope, make us feel good, and even increase our longevity.
Some say (https://www.ted.com/talks/ron_gutman_the_hidden_power_of_smiling) we even smile in the womb and can understand the social significance of those toothy grins very early on. "At just 10 months, for instance, an infant will offer a false smile to an approaching stranger while reserving a genuine...smile for its mother," behavioral science writer Eric Jaffe wrote in an article for the Association for Psychological Science (https://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/observer/2010/december-10/the-psychological-study-of-smiling.html).
But since smiling is a universal expression shared by all humans, it begs the question, where did it come from and why do we have it?
What is smiling for?
Since humans smile most around other people, wrote Jaffe, "it stands to reason that if social settings influence our smiles, then smiles probably serve a social purpose."
Smiles could serve as a cue to a person's altruism: A 2007 study (https://www.elsevier.com.br/bibliotecadigital/news_dez07/pdf/artigo_sd_sorriso.pdf) in the Journal of Evolution and Human Behavior looked at the sharing and smiling behavior of 60 people between the ages of 18 and 30 and found that they demonstrated more genuine smiles when in the act of sharing.
Since it is hard to fake a genuine smile (more on that below), these smiles — and our ability to identify true smiles in others — could help us distinguish altruistic intentions from ones with less friendly motives.
Other studies (https://pss.sagepub.com/content/19/10/981.extract) have shown that those who feel excluded are more likely to be able to identify genuine smiles than those who already feel included. Researchers suggest that the smile is evidence of who is more willing to cooperate with an outsider, Jaffe wrote.
Despite the friendly connotations of a smile today, the expression likely evolved from a much more aggressive emotion. ...
