    I applaude the sentiment, but should say “cropped out of” since “edited” sounds like they had to use the clone tool to remove him from the center of the frame and spent more than 2 seconds removing him. Here’s an pic from a different angle showing Trump way off to the right side of the frame:

    Update: Just watched the video and Trump clearly tries to insert himself into the shot, and would have been in frame, but is escorted out of the frame, after which the photo is taken and cropped.

      Looks like he’s in his “floating over to a freshly baked pie” pose once again

        I’ve never understood that, it’s so weird. People say it’s because he wears lifts and I don’t doubt he does, and women wearing heels do stick out their butt but they also arch their back to keep their balance. Which lifts the boobs, another plus, but it’s mostly for balance. (Source: am woman, have tested the different effects of 4" heels and 4" platforms with a 2" rise toe-to-heel)

        Maybe he’s trained himself to “not stand like a girl in heels” and thinks he’s getting away with it? Or maybe his back is unable to arch? The belly weight is the opposite of a counterbalance so that’s not it. Could his cankles be incredibly strong shin muscles? No, Michael Jackson had skinny ankles.

        It’s a mystery, Scoob!

        Edit, new theory: Diaper as counterweight

      Wow he really does stick out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons. Everyone else there has so much energy with the leaning tower of shitstack off to the right. He’s not even looking at the celebration it seems.

        Thats because this whole celebration is about him. He is the celebration. Should he not bask in the glory that would not have happened but for him?

      Cropping is editing. You can edit a photo in many many ways including cropping

        Yes but the way it’s phrased with no context is (intentionally) misleading, and doesn’t help describe how it was edited and to what extent. I have to assume that they used “edited” to be technically correct while maximizing clicks/engagement. One might read the sentence and think the Spain National Team had taken the time to aggressively remove Trump from the picture, as if he was in front of a player and they had to airbrush him out. That’s what I thought at first but searching for an uncropped image shows that wasn’t the case, and this context helped me understand what “edited” referred to, and I figured others might want the context as well.

          I don’t agree there was anything misleading in this usage. I think you are reading too much into it.

          I understand the difference you are describing, but I don’t accept that the use of Edited was in anyway click bait, in this instance.

          We are just so used to it being used that way it easy to forget to give the benefit of the doubt.

          I could be wrong though, but it doesn’t feel right to me to have issue with this use of language

      I am confused; couldn’t they take two separate pictures? One with Trump (and possibly the Spanish king) and one with just the team.

        Why take one with trump at all? He’s just a politician from one of the host nations. No other hosts have acted like this, they respect that the moment belongs to the team. FFS even Infantino can understand that.

        Why? He is just an elected representative of a bunch of people that have no association with the FIFA or Spain.

          By this logic he shouldn’t have been there to hand out medals. The game was played in his country. It’s not so strange to take a picture with a government representative in this kind of occasions.

              It may be not true, I do not care too much. I just said it would not be strange to take several pictures in an occasion such as that. Whether it is customary to do so or not, I do not know.

                You openly admit to not knowing if it’s customary, i.e not strange, but also claim that it would not be strange. You defeat yourself in one post.

                Please consider that the world of football didn’t start in 2026 and that your amount of knowledge is irrelevant to what the actual customs are.

                  We misunderstand ourselves. I mean on large occasions it is normal to have photo shoots, I don’t know whether it is common in football events. I would not be surprised if it was and wouldn’t consider it strange.

                  I’m not trying to make a point here, there’s nothing to defeat or be defeated about.

      Everybody too stupid to see those are two different photos. Nothing cropped, nothing edited, just one photographer was paid by FIFA and the other not.

        I never said this was the original photo. I said it’s one from a different angle showing Trump way off to the right side of the frame at the same time the official FIFA one was taken.

          I wasn’t addressing you by that, but everybody else who fails to see it and you clearly saw there is a difference.
