The photo has also sparked endless memes, as well as bringing to mind one of the best Monty Python sketches ever.
(Warning: This post is vulgar. There’s no way around it. But it’s also full of funny stuff, for what it’s worth.)
I have no idea what photographer Win McNamee and Getty Images were thinking when they went with a photograph of Trump speaking to a gaggle of people from the press, but if they thought to humiliate Trump, they utterly failed. Instead, it’s a post that instantly turned into an epic meme, because it is the living embodiment of (a) Trump’s power and (b) a Monty Python sketch come to life.
Obviously, I can’t reproduce the image itself, but thankfully, it’s all over social media: [X post at link]
Yes, it really does look as if President Trump is the manliest of all manly men.
Leftists, of course, pretended that the image hurt Trump. Buzzfeed collected some of those responses: “full diaper stance,” “first day of Standing School,” and “my toddler before he starts s***ting his pants” came from the Trump haters.

At first I thought this was just another attempt to insult Trump.
Then I realized in the article and original photos, this is real!!!
Hahahaha
Makes him look like he has 12 foot penis.
I’m with this guy on where to put a big, beautiful framed print...

Daddy’s home.
This belongs on the White House Walk of Fame.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets an eye put out!
Funny.
And I would just like to thank the Fifth Column masquerading as our Fourth Estate for their help in the war effort.
You lot have no idea how helpful you’ve been.
Getty images might sue you for posting that, but it IS funny!
Trump looks like a Metro Paul Bunyon.
Toxic Masculinity...
Okay, that made me spit my coffee!
OMG...I read your post, and in my head, I heard “The Trump Voice” saying that!
“Leftists, of course, pretended that the image hurt Trump. Buzzfeed collected some of those responses: “full diaper stance,” “first day of Standing School,” and “my toddler before he starts s***ting his pants” came from the Trump haters.”
The same leftist who were mute when biden did that very thing in front of the Pope? Those leftists?
Unfortunately, Getty would sue FreeRepublic, if that's really a Getty photo.
You might want to hit "Abuse" and ask the Mods to remove it before that happens.
🕺
I think it stops being a stock photo when it becomes a subject of discussion. If one were writing an article about Trump and used a Getty image as an illustration, that would be copyright infringement. When a picture becomes something that people are talking about, it is fair use to reproduce the image for discussion. The one writing the article might profit from the image but if I want to see what the fuss is about, I should be able to see the actual picture. It’s getting into the free speech area.
Remember when the Obama administration sent their lackeys in the National Park Service out to block off the roadways into George Washington's Mount Vernon home? The owner operators had to remind them that the facility was privately owned and operated and not part of the NPS.
