The official photo released before the inauguration of newly elected US President Donald Trump has become the most viewed photo of any US president.
According to foreign media, Donald Trump is showing a stern expression on his face in the new official photo and his eyes are slanted.
Former White House photographer Eric Draper says that President Trump’s new official photo has become the most published and viewed photo of any US president ever. The first impression that emerges after seeing Trump’s photo is that the studio lighting and retouching have been heavily manipulated after the shoot.
Many people on social media have compared the photo to Donald Trump’s ‘mugshot’ taken in Fulton County Jail in Georgia when he was accused of trying to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election. One user described Trump’s image and facial expressions as similar to a boxer’s before a fight, while another called it ominous and dramatic.
