Are Photographs Still Worth a Thousand Words?

<center>![DC993BAA-3D08-4AA5-AAE9-94F8FA6134DA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQfh165Hk6c8JeE8U4Btg83CV3XPMXULdW1xNZ9vHjwru/DC993BAA-3D08-4AA5-AAE9-94F8FA6134DA.jpeg)</center>

<a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/photowhitehouse/status/1225909811851780096">A photo of Trump</a> went viral. Oddly enough, “Twitter went wild” and mocking ensued.

The leader of the free world then took time out from his busy schedule on the 14th hole <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1226222654019035142">to complain</a> that it was Fake News, capitalized as if it was a proper name.

But other photographs from the same date/location suggest that <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/02/trump-blasts-viral-tan-line-photo-fake-news-claims-photoshopped.html">it’s not as simple as that</a>.

I know you are but what am I?

Just a childish auto response he can use when something shines another light on the joke he has made himself into. 

The article is pretty funny too as someone compared this orange face thing to Trudeau’s black face scandal. 

Too much   

Pictures can still be worth a thousand words depending upon their implications!

Orange man bad...

What is worse is that anyone gives a care about his picture, make up, tan, photoshop... no matter what it is..

Petty, stupid child's games.

It is mostly irrelevant, that photo, well to the extent that the President does his job which he does.
