The Washington Post has the story about a photographer getting ‘revenge’ on Trump, by taking and posting an embarrassing photo:

Critics of the media, perhaps including Trump himself, might point to Mills’s photo as evidence that the “mainstream media” is out to undermine the president in an unfair and biased manner. Surely there were many other frames Mills could have chosen that made Trump look more distinguished. Yet Mills and other pool photographers published the awkward ones.

Just remember who controls the narrative. The story is very similar to the fake-news Koi Pond scandal from last week
