Trump catching flak for his White House portrait. Left nitpicks it to death.

During his inauguration address on Friday, Donald Trump released an image that had nothing to do with crowd size or marchers: his official White House portrait.
The picture, which features prominently in the White House website’s biography of Trump, depicts the President in front of what appears to be a green-screen image of the White House. In his characteristic red tie, Trump leans forward, no smile, with an aggressive — arguably menacing — stare.
The image struck us as unusual, so we reached out to some professional photographers and presidential scholars to help us unpack why. The photo is odd, they agreed, especially when compared with past Presidents’ photos. The problems with Trump’s photo: unflattering lighting and threatening posing
Trump’s posture and slight lean forward portray the President as an aggressive figure, says Tamzin Smith, a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture. The catchlights in the lower part of Trump’s eyes — those bright white dots just beneath his pupils — indicate he’s being lit from below. For a portrait like this, that’s a “bizarre” lighting choice, she said.

Trump catching flak for his White House portrait. Left nitpicks it to death.
[ “He looks very intense, he looks mean, he looks aggressive,” Smith said. “It’s really not a nice light setup in my opinion.” ]
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
This is what an ALPHA MALE looks like!
They are behaving like a Beta Male gorilla that just got it’s ass whipped.
Those are the laserbeams that shoot from his eyes, LOL.
OOOOOH . . . I’m so scareded! Where’s my safeplace?
All it needs is a “YOUR FIRED!” sign right under it to make it perfect!
:P
Get use to it folks. Like W, this mob of homo commies will bitch and moan all 8 years. Just enjoy the laugh of the moonbeans.
“He looks very intense, he looks mean, he looks aggressive,” Smith said.
Why do you think we voted for him? No more nice guys while the corrupt Mexican government exports their social problems across our borders.
He kicks butt, the last guy licked...whatever.
There is nothing odd about it at all. It's Trump. He's serious. He means what he says, and he's going to do what he says.
Compare Trump's portrait to the above image of some glitter slippered sissy.
Trump is a leader.
That is all.
I noticed that it would stand out as soon as I saw it.
Does Trump play poker?
This is what a leader looks like right before he kicks ass...
The opposite of the BOzo The Clown portrait.
Ooooh. Scary, kids. Especially in 3D.
He’s got his clown nose on...how cute...
That hair covering the top of his head has to be 18” long.
Wow!
Linda looks like a crazy cat lady compared to our President.
Looks great.
Typical schoolyard bully move when they’ve had their butt whupped by someone they just knew they could take.
