It's not like there aren't any other photos of him out there.

Publications always choose their photos very carefully.

If you want to deemphasize a persons 3 chins, you simply put a layer of darkness over the chins and they blend in more. I notice this is done in many of Trump's photos. Looks to me like it was done in this photo.

no shadow on red of tie, bad shading on face and probably hand make smaller with one small click. The photo editor might have been told to blend in the chins, so he got revenge with the hand.

or just sitting quietly, you are bound to get some unflattering pictures. tRump has such exaggerated mouth movements and with his beady eyes that he is a gift to the people hoping to strike gold with an unflattering picture. Now that we know what bugs him (triple chins) you can be sure the photo-shop gurus will have a field day.
