But Stephanie said that presidential photos are in the public domain, though it's been traditional for White House photographers to publish their own book (Obama's and Bush's both did).

That's the only reason he ran for president, he didn't want or intend to do the job. But all his business ventures had failed, casinos, vodka, steaks, the infamous Trump University - so he figured on campaign contributions as the next way to get people to give him their money. And now he feels "entitled" to the photos that this photographer took.

I'd publish those under the guise of "comedy" with him in the most undignified way possible, which shouldn't be hard. I'm sure there'd be plenty of interest. He's such an @ssh@le. Good grief.

will never approach him/tRump with anything, least he ends up stealing it from them. No one is safe from this monster, no amount of money is enough for this scumbag who steals from his own people. I hope people remember this, when they proclaim tRump as their next savior (pardon me while I barf heavily).

I'd say either the photographer ... or us taxpayers. But certainly not orange doofus. Why does he get to keep the proceeds of his copyright-infringing book?
