The photography of Trump's presidency is a huge break from Obama's

Many of the most iconic photos of Barack Obama’s presidency came from Pete Souza, the official White House photographer. Granted extensive access to Obama, he shot the Osama Bin Laden war room photo, moments the president shared with Michelle Obama, the many famous images of the president interacting with kids, and countless more. These carefully composed photos so defined the public image of Obama that it nearly made Souza a household name.

In its visual representation, as in so many other respects, the Trump administration has made a break with the past. Most of what we see of Trump comes from either the traveling pool of press photographers or the smartphones of his staff...

The War Room photo. The Obama worshiping media made it famous, or tried to.

I am convinced that that photo is a photoshop. Looks like Bammy's image was inserted. Don't think he was in the room at all.

The War Room photo

You mean the one where it looks like Obama is cowering in the corner?
