Trump Wants Photo Editors to Drop the Unflattering Double Chin Pics

President-elect Donald Trump held an off-the-record meeting with about 25 media executives and anchors in Trump Tower on Monday. At the gathering, Trump shared some complaints about the outlets’ coverage of him, including the use of unflattering double chin photos.

Politico reports that in discussing his thoughts on the “dishonest media,” Trump shared how he felt like photo editors were selecting unflattering photos of him for use in news coverage.

Trump turned to NBC News President Deborah Turness at one point, the source said, and told her the network won’t run a nice picture of him, instead choosing “this picture of me,” as he made a face with a double chin. Turness replied that they had a “very nice” picture of him on their website at the moment.

However, left photo is definitely photoshopped - too smooth under his chin.

That explains his usual, Mussolini-style head thrown back, looking down his nose posture.

That'll eradicate that double chin, maybe. Or so the maker claims.
