This Time Magazine cover photo has caused quite a stir.
By the way, Time Magazine, do they even sell that anymore?
But they still make magazine covers.
Aside from that, I've just thought of that in real time.
Aside from that, they have created quite a firestorm and Donald Trump actually responded to it.
And you may have heard a little bit about this, but you know what?
I haven't talked about it.
And I would travel on all day yesterday.
I want to talk about it today.
Because I think it's funny as hell.
The responses are funny as hell.
And if we cannot laugh right now, then what are we doing?
We need to have some levity.
And I love a video where we get to laugh.
Baby, the president of the United States responded to this picture.
He responded to it.
Governor Gavin Newsom also joined in on the fun.
Elon Musk then censored what Governor Gavin Newsom posted.
And I've got a photographer's reaction to this shot.
That's actually very smart.
It's a smart take.
But before we get to that, if you please hit like on this video and subscribe,
it would help so much.
We're almost at a million subscribers.
Let's get there soon.
Thank you for your help.
But first, let us go to what Governor Newsom did,
and then I have some TikToks about this.
First, Governor Newsom.
Now, if you don't know,
a lot of people are saying that this looks like something.
It looks like I'm just going to say,
I'm going to say it looks like a vagina on his neck.
It looks like a vagina on his neck.
Okay.
Now, folks are saying that.
I'm not sure.
I can't confirm or deny if I agree with that.
But that's what people are saying online.
Governor, I swear to God, these people, they post it.
And they censored it.
They censored it.
Now, Donald Trump was very mad about how he looked here.
Because look, first off, he looks bald.
And not the most flattering shot.
And by the way, they're calling it his triumph around the fact that there's this
ceasefire in Gaza. Triumph. Okay, maybe we'll see. We'll see if it sticks. I hope it does,
but I think calling into Triumph right now is overreacting quite a bit. But anyways, so the President of
United States, dealing with a lot, decided to post this last night. Time Magazine wrote a relatively
good story about me, but the picture may be the worst of all time. They disappeared my hair.
And then they had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown,
but an extremely small one, really weird.
I never like taking pictures from underneath angles,
but this is a super bad picture and deserves to be called it.
What are they doing and why?
Oh, I do think we just need to use this picture all of the time
if we know he hates it.
We have to use it all the time.
Now, people are calling this a shorthand for neck vagina.
They're calling it a nussie.
And here is what someone on TikTok had to say about it.
Maybe the president's got his nussie out.
on the cover of Time magazine.
Look at that thing.
You've heard of a moose knuckle.
Meet a moose knuckle.
All right.
Old boy's got a camel throat.
What do you even call that?
An Eve's apple?
Got me out here wanting to commit an original sin.
Let me tell you.
Who told this man it was acceptable
to go chinny dipping
on the cover of a major American publication?
Apparently, Lord Baldaboard over here,
old comb over Caligula,
not such a big fan of this.
portrait. I don't see why. This is just a view Mike Johnson has every single day as he waits for
J.D. Vance to wipe his chin signifying the end of his turn. Me personally, I view this wattle as a win
over puritanical values in the United States. Wasn't that long ago, the entire country was in an uproar
over Janet Jackson's pasty-covered wardrobe malfunction. And now look at us, huh? We got the leader of the
free world popping his bushless nussie on the cover of Time magazine. What a lark, huh?
A lark, a lark. Someone else said this. Um, Time magazine, you mean to tell me y'all couldn't blur out
that man's nussie? Just an open, gaping, flapping orifice tucked into that collar. It should
come with a blur. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of
y'all kissing that man's ass, but on top of everything, y'all could have digitally altered some sort of
turtleneck over that bitch.
Someone else wrote, where is it?
My Nussi, my choice.
Oh, my God.
And then, okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about this.
And then Elon Musk, his app censored Governor Gavin Newsom's post.
As you can see here, they click over there.
it says it's labeled as a dull content and then it shows the tweet incredible stuff incredible stuff
all right and then an actual photographer said this he actually did like a art what is it called
when you when you a critique he did a critique of the photo okay he says as a photographer and by the way
this is not written by ai someone asked him he said no i wrote the son-up plane i believe him as a
photographer i love the new time cover of trump despite his objections to it this is a brilliant image
We use low angles to glorify a subject. It's a visual grammar we've all internalized.
Heroes are shot from below. We look up to them because power ascends. But Daniel Turox photograph
uses this trope to subvert meaning. Here's how. Perspective distortion. When you look up at a subject,
it appears more dominant. We associate bigger with stronger or more important. But in architectural
photography, there is a limit to that concept. If you push their perspective too far,
the structure begins to warp. Lines converge unnaturally. Here, Trump appears less like a monument
and more like a monolith, imposing but unstable. He's a high tower of facade leaning towards
collapse, as inhumane as a tower of Babel. Two, viewer position lower angles place the viewer
in a submissive position relative to the subject. It's meant to evoke all or even intimidation,
But TORAC's super wide lens placed close to the subject over-emphasizes the dynamic creating our cartoonish sense of self-importance.
The expected power dynamic feels unnatural because his posture wasn't earned.
It's being performed because we are in on the joke.
We as viewers feel large because we sense his power is nothing but opposed.
Holy shit.
This is for free.
We get all this for free.
Symbolic elevation.
Visual storytelling relies on symbols high.
often means authority, aspiration, or divinity,
when something or someone is elevated in the frame,
we unconsciously read them as being above us physically and metaphorically.
But Taurac uses that same symbolism to isolate Trump.
The bright blown-out sky strips away all ground in context
rather than feeling monumental he feels alone.
His triumph becomes his folly, and then four lighting in sky.
Shooting from below often includes open sky or ceiling
behind the subject, the lack of visual clutter tends to reinforce a sense of dominance as the
subject rises above everything else. But here with the sun as a backlight, Torek drains the scene
of warmth where the light might have crowned another. Trump has been exposed as thin and transparent.
He casts a shadow. He does not illuminate. Wow. This is kind of tea. All right. Five. Historical
Convention. Photographers have relied on this grammar for 100 plus years to say things. Few dare
put in words. Torek understands a low angle's legacy and uses it to offer a perspective that transcends
the man. This isn't just a portrait of a person. It's a glimpse of an office being
Caesarified. Wow. And then he goes on to say, I don't believe this is an instance of
subversion for the sake of cynicism or screening alone. I also sense a glimmer of hope in Torek's
frame by showing us how easily authority manufactures its own mythology. He reminds us that those
miss inevitably collapse under the weight of their own distorted hubris. Wow. And then someone just said,
of course, this is the internet plus the mangina. Thank you. See Hannah for all that nice
pros. And then someone says plus a mangina. So that is, well, I actually do see the image
differently now after reading that. So I will say that is better than my take, which is
mangina. I think that's one reason why Trump doesn't like this photo because he realizes it does
make him look small and he is constantly trying to make himself seem bigger than he actually is.
And I thank that guy for writing that for us because I actually do see this image differently now
after having read his critique of it.
So I thank that photographer for that.
I thank you for watching.
And if you could please hit like in this video and subscribe.
I would appreciate it very much.
I'll see you soon.
Bye.
