Democrats Accused Of ‘Body Shaming’ Donald Trump On Twitter With ‘Unflattering’ Photos After He Asked The Press To Make Him Look ‘Thin’ In Pictures: ‘You’re So Immature’

Everyone likes to look good in photos, even people at the very top of politics. During a recent Republican retreat at the Kennedy Center, Donald Trump was giving a speech when he noticed photographers taking pictures of him. He suddenly stopped and joked with them, clearly wanting a better-looking photo.

The moment quickly caught attention online and sparked a lot of debate. Some people said no camera angle can hide reality, while others blamed the photographers for choosing unflattering shots. The moment spread fast on social media and became another small but noisy political argument.

While speaking, Trump pointed out Doug Mills, a well-known New York Times photographer who won a Pulitzer Prize for his photos taken during the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump. Trump called him out by name and mentioned the award, then joked that the photographers never make him look good.

He asked Mills to “make me look thin for a change,” saying the photos made him look heavier than he wanted and that he wasn’t happy about it. The comment got laughs in the room but quickly took on a bigger life online.

Not long after, the X account associated with Democrats shared several unflattering photos of Trump and added a short caption saying it wasn’t the photographer’s fault.

Many people found it funny, especially compared to the harsh insults Trump often posts on his own social media platform. However, Trump supporters did not see it as harmless humor and rushed to defend him.

Across social media, many supporters criticized the post and said it was childish and unnecessary. Some accused Democrats of being immature and said political discussions should focus on real issues like policy instead of appearances. Others mocked the idea that an official political account would spend time posting jokes about someone’s looks rather than addressing serious topics.

Several commenters also accused Democrats of hypocrisy, saying that mocking someone’s body goes against the values they often claim to support. A few called it body shaming and pointed out what they saw as double standards. Others dismissed the post as a waste of time and said it showed a lack of meaningful ideas or arguments.

In the end, what started as a brief joke during a speech turned into another online fight, showing how even small, lighthearted moments involving Trump can quickly turn into loud political arguments on social media.
