- 40% of Trumpers said the Obama picture was Trump’s
- they asked the other group: which photo contains more people?

The Trump Admin is even crueler than I thought.
Each truck represents something not sent for hungry people. In all, it’s 94 million pounds of food that would‘ve helped farmers’ bottom lines and kept people from going hungry.

Among the many misdeeds and inadequacies of the President and his administration, this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

This does, for me, capture something. I don’t expect Trump to be trying to help stabilize this guy. But his blank, almost peeved expression, his standing firm at his desk rather than making way for a medic or even just getting out of the way really seems consistent with what we know about the man.
