Trump To NYT Photographer: Your Photo Makes It Look Like I Have 'Double Chin'!

By Nicole Lafond | July 13, 2018 12:26 pm

Despite his hobby of boasting about his perceived accomplishments, stability as a genius and claiming he has a memory like no one has ever seen before, President Donald Trump is a bit more diffident than he lets on.

According to White House press pool reporter Annie Karni, of Politico, Trump approached New York Times photographer Doug Mills after a press pool spray with a gauche joke about his unhappiness with an apparently unflattering photo Mills had taken of him. Trump told Mills that it “made him look like he had a ‘double chin,'” Karni wrote.

Public bashings of the media are a staple of the Trump presidency, but even as a candidate and real estate mogul, Trump has spent much of his adult life sending hand-written notes to reporters whose stories he doesn’t like.

21. When Trump Asked Not To Publish Unflattering Double Chin Pics, This Is How The Internet Responded

Nobody likes unflattering pictures of themselves, but if you're a celebrity or somebody in the public eye then they're simply par for the course. Unless you're Donald Trump that is! He hasn't even moved into The White House yet but he's already unhappy with the way that the media are portraying him. Which, you know, is understandable given how hard he's worked to create a decent public image of himself.

Politico reported that Trump recently held a meeting with around 25 media executives and anchors in Trump Tower. During the discussion he complained about the way certain news outlets were covering him, especially relating to unflattering photographs of his double chin. And it didn't take the internet long to respond! Take a look at these hilarious Photoshops to see what we mean. Think you can do better? Then feel free to add your own, and don't forget to vote for your favorite! The Donald will not thank you for it.

"Does this photographer make me look fat?".

I notice Obama never had to worry about "camera angles".

But back to the real issue: It's not the fault of the New York Times photographic staff that Trump looks like a pelican.
