@jefftiedrich.bsky.social nails the perfect caption for this photo.
A photo from the man collapsing during Trump's recent press event. Jeff has added the caption "look for the helpers." Everyone else in the room is turned to help the fallen man. Trump stands several feet away, back to the helpers, with a look on his face that suggests he feels aggrieved and inconvenienced. He is not a helper.
