Donald Trump gets away with things that would destroy any other politician or public figure.
At first glimpse, the Reuters photo above is acutely mundane. Taken outside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs,Texas, it shows a law enforcement officer securing a fence around the site of a shooting rampage that left 26 dead earlier this month.
A friend of mine, a government employee, asked if I had noticed the difference between these two Twitter account photos. On the left is the now-archived profile photo of the Obama White House. On the right is the image currently in use on the Trump feed. It’s hard to know how or why one picture gets chosen over another. In this case, though, the contrast provides food for thought.
