I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel of Germany, but fake news media only shows bad photos (implying anger) of negotiating an agreement-where I am asking for things that no or American president would ask for! Pic.twitter.com/Ib97nN5HZt

For Trump, reception of photo is an opportunity to complain again about his view of unfair reporting. “I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel,” he tweeted. “But fake news media only show bad photos (which imply annoyance) of negotiations on an agreement in which I asked for things that no or US president would have asked before me.”
It is not uncommon for official press agencies to publish pictures of major political events that put ir own head of government in favorable light. The Élysée Palace, for example, published images of identical scene of G7 summit, in which not Angela Merkel or Donald Trump, but Emmanuel Macron is at heart of picture.
