Yes, It is. Fortunately it will be viewed only by New Yorkers, for the most part.

I don't think it's going to happen that way.

The MSM did everything they could do defeat Trump, and he won anyway. He absolutely doesn't need them at all.

I would not be surprised to see some full-court groveling by most media outlets in order to curry favor with Trump.

Standby for the next four years of Trump MSMLSD bashing just like what happened to Bush and Reagan.

Exactly

Is this really where the shadow of his arm and hand lies; or just another crude rat jab at our champion?

The stage wash is generally above and a decent bit out from the stage, at about a 30-60 degree angle. Looks to me like the lighting guy didn't do a very good job, leaving a hotspot on the podium from the left, or forgot to put in his diffusion gel. If you look at the guy on the left (Pence?), you can see Trump's other hand's shadow from that same fixture in the middle of the guy's stomache. And if you look closely, you can see Trump's shoulder, side, and arm shadow from another light. This one just isn't as bright, so the shadow is much weaker, being washed out by the light from the left.

And the gold flag tassel is extended or photoshopped as well to cover their nasty little joke?

I don't even see what you mean with this one?

Or maybe I need to get some more sleep.

Probably.

You can see his hand shadow on Melania (lucky hand shadow!), ever so briefly, on this video at :09 seconds (extreme right of frame).

It’s conceivable that it moved down a bit as he waved his arms, to coincide with the picture. Doesn’t seem ‘shopped.

This map is not accurate. Clallam County is at the top left of Washington state. It turned red last night. Something like 56% of the voters voted for Trump. This past weekend I traveled around this county and Trump signs were everywhere, two along our frontage. I saw only one for HRC.

Nuke Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia for all I care, but my coastal county is just as red as the rest.

[LIConFem]

Look at all that pretty red!

[Steve_Seattle]

Maybe I don’t have a dirty enough mind, but what is it about this photo that is “nasty” or looks photo shopped?

A message to Van Jones :

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

“There’s nothing weird about this picture, except the mind of the beholder that thinks something is weird.”

I agree, I only posted the photo as a service to fellow Freepers.

Go, President Elect Trump, GO!

[knarf]

You know better than I, but I'll give the maker a break ... some changes may have ocurred after the map was drawn.

Either way ... WOO HOO ... lookie heah, lookie HEAH !

[Gator113]

I understand. ;>)

[NorthMountain]

Look at WV and OK! ZERO blue counties!

[FreedomForce]

Fourth Presidential election in a row where not a single county in Oklahoma went Democrat

[NorthMountain]

Congratulations! We achieved the Zen of Total Redstate Enlightenment in 2012.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’ve seen and heard a lot of this kind of thing, and I’m glad to see it’s not just my own little beady brain.

[HiTech RedNeck]

redneck zen huh.

[HiTech RedNeck]

worse

[FreedomForce]

I grew up in OK but now live in a red part of a blue state. Trump’s national win is especially satisfying to me because of my state’s political atmosphere which has slid gradually farther and farther left during the 30 years I’ve been here.
