Obama’s Photographer Just Trolled Trump For His Gross Trumpcare Celebration
Few are as effective at calling out President Trump’s absurd behavior as President Obama’s official White House photographer, Pete Souza.
Thanks to Souza, each of Trump’s most egregious tantrums, self-enriching power grabs, and acts of cruelty is contrasted by an image of Obama showing impeccable class in a similar situation.
Today is no different. As Trump gloated and bragged about this step in stripping health coverage and protections from millions of Americans, Souza posted on Instagram a photo of Obama after his life-saving healthcare law cleared its final Congressional hurdle. (This is not exactly a parallel as Trumpcare is still a long way from full Congressional approval.)
The photo shows Obama in his private study reading heartfelt messages of thanks from Americans who would benefit from his legislation:
Even at times when we disagreed with Obama, it was clear that he always had the welfare of the American people at the forefront of his mind. This provides a sharp contrast to today’s victory lap from a president who achieved nothing on healthcare except a step in his efforts to make America sick again.
