According to Vox, Moon is neither an official White House photographer nor an official member of the White House News Photographers Association, but rather “appears to be a Trump enthusiast who attends White House open press events.”
After the photo went viral, Trump tried claiming the it was photoshopped and then blamed the wind, writing: “More Fake News. This was photoshopped, obviously, but the wind was strong and the hair looks good? Anything to demean!”

Meanwhile, Moon then tried blaming it on the sun, telling BuzzFeed: “The sunset was reflected on the President’s face and hair.” He suggested the photo be titled “The General who returned to his kingdom after winning the war was walking in the sunset and winds.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Soooo which is it? The wind? Or the sun?
And now, the memes…

The sad thing is, you can tell Trump thought he looked hot. He is so worried about the hair, and he’s gotten away with the ridiculous makeup for so long that he didn’t even notice. The White House released a version of the photo for goodness sake.
And again, look at the pose, he’s practically duck-lipping. But as always the media is trying to support him, calling it a “Tan Line”. (Eye Roll)

Bullies are the most insecure & scared people that exist. All this hate back to him is eating him up inside. I don’t wish pain on anybody but, you get what you deserve. FREE THE CHILDREN!

Dems must be nervous from their batch of weak candidates if this is their current line of attack, a filtered photo
“Uh oh. Trump has a tan face enhanced by an iPhone filter, guess I have to vote for Communist Bernie now…”

Awwww, the Trump troll that routinely defends anti-LGBT bigots is clutching it’s pearls because Trump got mocked for looking like a fool.
Sounds like you and the other Trump trolls are terrified of people seeing how ridiculous he really is.

Tweety would say fake news. Would you expect anything less…I’m surprised he didn’t call the guy who took the picture a “disaster” another one of his greatest hits..he has limited vocabulary like a parrot.,,
