petesouza Shame on Donald Trump for using a photo I made to try and justify yet another one of his lies.
He posted this photo yesterday on Truth Social with the caption, Biden sitting outside with Lisa Monaco, second in charge of DOJ, probably working on future Plots and Schemes against Republicans.
This photograph is more than TEN years old. I made this image on May 1, 2013. Joe Biden was then Vice President. Lisa Monaco was then President Obamas homeland security advisor.
To give this more context, this photo occurred after the presidents morning intelligence briefing. The VP and Lisa are sitting outside the Outer Oval Office at the edge of the Rose Garden (note that no trees have yet been cut down). President Obama was departing the next day to meet with the President of Mexico. The Boston Marathon bombing had occurred two weeks before. Donald Trump was then a failed businessman seeking attention by saying President Obama wasnt a U.S. citizen.
We posted this photo on the White House website the next day as our photo of the day. We also posted it on the White House Flickr photo stream on June 20, 2013, as one of the photographs in our monthly albums (for May 2013). The original caption: Vice President Joe Biden talks with Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, in the Rose Garden of the White House, May 1, 2013.
I used a Canon 5DM3 camera, with a 24-70mm lens, with exposure of 1/320 at f/5.6 at ISO 200. The original file was transferred to the National Archives on 1/20/2017.
Thanks to all those on Twitter who brought this to my attention last night. And to those who took the further step of replying on Truth Social with a Fact Check, and link to the photo on Flickr. They were then banned from Truth Social.
I await Trumps apology to President Biden and Lisa, and for misusing this photograph I made.

I'm surprised Trump didn't say he could read their lips in the photo, and it proves his point.

Trump isn't smart enough or savvy enough to find photos like this. I wonder who is really
