Powerful Image of Trump Sparks Media Controversy

Leftist media actually moving to ban the now historic image of defiance by President Trump. Shows you how ridiculous the Left is.

Left-leaning media outlets are expressing concern over an iconic image of former President Donald J. Trump, with one editor even urging it to be buried. The powerful photo, taken at a rally, shows a bloodied Trump raising his fist and shouting “Fight, fight, fight!” after surviving an assassination attempt. The image, capturing a dramatic and historic moment, is being compared to the famous photo of Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

Several photographers privately expressed worries to Axios that the viral image could be used as “photo propaganda” to further Trump’s political agenda. A photo editor from a major news outlet mentioned that the widespread use of the photo could serve as free publicity for Trump. Another freelance photographer feared the image might turn Trump into a martyr and be used as a powerful propaganda tool.
