Thats the first photo with Trump in it since he became president that i've actually liked.
Good Lord I think I might be in love, what a great man

well done
That looks like the sort of scene from the end of an 80s fighting game or beat em up.
Or the cover art of a 90s fighting game

I love the pained smile as Trump just has to sit there and fucking take it. Leaning ever so slightly away from him.
Shit, that's exactly what I was thinking of!Or the cover art of a 90s fighting game
Thanks. I had originally thought that jpeg compression had done a number on his suit in the OP's pic. Interesting pattern.
Worth noting that Trump for all his enormous (and fatal) flaws is the most pro-gay Republican president in modern history. He said on 60 Minutes he's fine with gay marriage and declared it "settled law." Could you imagine a Republican saying that 8 years ago?
Gay marriage is the law of the land. It's never being rolled back. The fact that Trump (and, by association, his heartland VP with a history of extreme anti-gay positions) hasn't opposed it is setting the precedent that the conversation is settled.
I'm not suggesting that Trump deserves particular credit for any of this, but it's worth noting that lasting progress appears to have been made. It wasn't long ago that both Obama and Hillary weren't prepared to be in favor of gay marriage publicly. Now the Republicans seem to have quietly recognized the reality of things and dropped the issue. Peter Thiel getting major applause at the convention for announcing he was a gay Republican was a turning point as well.
I don't believe that Trump, from what I know of his background, would be bothered by this man's mild fabulousness. He'd be annoyed that the guy is against him (since he's more thin-skinned in the face of criticism than anyone I have ever heard of), but he's not weirded out by the presence of gay people. The people suggesting Trump is "leaning away" in the photo are seeing what they want to see, he's just leaning more on one arm than the other because that's more comfortable. His body language is similar in all his posed photos.
We're in uncharted political waters here and everything is turning in bizarre ways, but one strange and positive side-effect is that the actively anti-gay right is more or less dead on the national level.

Gotta admit, the guy is so sharply dressed that he pulls off the folding fan look nicely 🙂

Trump so doesn't want to touch him, he's literally sitting off-center on his chair
