Throughout history, certain photographs, such as Nick Ut's "Napalm Girl", have etched themselves forever into the public psyche. A recent photograph of Donald Trump is poised to join this club.
Blood streaks his face. The American flag looms in the background. His fist raised in defiance.
The photograph of Donald Trump taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci in the aftermath of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on 14 July is gathering iconic status. To coin a phrase, the photo is "one for the history books", a defining symbol of an era plagued by political crisis, violence and upheaval in America. While there is no shortage of video footage of the horrific incident, it is this single image that will be etched into our collective memory. A reminder of the timeless power of photography. “Without question, Evan’s photo will become the definitive photo from the (assassination) attempt,” said Patrick Witty, a former photo editor at TIME, the New York Times and National Geographic.

“All Americans love a winner and cannot tolerate a loser!’’. General George S. Patton Jr.
The most gifted American author, evah.
SS lady looks like she is hiding under the President’s right arm pit.
I did a search for “trump assassination iconic picture” on yahoo, google and duck-duck-go. I got back cero, ziltch, nada. It's gone.
Only a twisted mentally ill person would think like that.

The "powers that be" want that image stricken....
I saw that yesterday...the weirdest thing...with those little kids!
But, somehow funny!
You bet, Poconopundit! Nice hearing from you...:)
My state is lost, but I keep the candle lit for The United States of America!
You can’t find the picture on google or duck
Scrubed
Trump hand raised would be the outstretched arm of Ira Hayes.
The agent looks like a turd laying at the bottom of a hill.
This has to be awkward for the far-left AP (Always Progressive).
“The American flag looms”
Writer be arsehole.
There is indeed a strange symmetry to the two images isn’t there? The flag, the “leaning” to the right, the body of the female SS agent pushed against him, the item that looks like a pole cutting diagonally from left to right. Very interesting.
What is odd is trying to look for that picture today using the search “trump fight fight fight assassination picture”, “trump assassination picture”, “trump raising fist assassination” or even “trump assassination” and it does not come up anywhere.
Anywhere.
I think that is one of the most powerful and significant photographic images taken in the history of this country, and I can’t find the image. I use Duck-Duck-Go, but I did find it on Google. Puzzling.
Am I wrong to think that the Left (via Big Tech) is actively suppressing that powerful image because it is so beneficial to Trump, and so damning in comparison for the Leftists from the Deep State to the Democrat Party? I could be, and the explanation could simply be some kind of copyright thing where Google CAN display the image due to copyright but Duck Duck Go cannot.
But I find it curious nonetheless.
