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

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

From what I understand, some forms of dementia can affect the limbic system, causing a forward lean. Combine that with his lifts...

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.

[-] subverted_per 20 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 12 points 1 month ago

Such a big loser energy being projected by President Lumpty Trumpty.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] bamboo 13 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I don't know how he wasn't instructed to stay away beforehand. He pulled the same shit last year. He thought the celebration was for him.

He looked like a confused dementia patient. I bet you could smell his diaper on the field

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

That's because he is a confused dementia patient.

Interesting that when the male team wins the World Cup, nobody tries to kiss the captain on the mouth.

There were widespread calls for Rubiales' resignation and structural change in the RFEF, paired with support for Jenni Hermoso – the player he had forcibly kissed on the lips at the final , and whom the RFEF was accused of mistreating following the incident – in Spain and from women's football teams around the world. The social movement caused by Rubiales' conduct and continued public denials of wrongdoing has been described as Spain's #MeToo movement; it quickly assumed the name #SeAcabó (lit. 'It's over'), from a tweet posted by Alexia Putellas after Rubiales' speech. Previous attempts by players using collective action to force improvements in the conditions of women's football in Spain have been either ignored or given outward but not systemic change.

The general unity of Spanish society in criticising Rubiales – including politicians from across the political spectrum – was considered unprecedented, as was the support of women's football from men's football players and teams. Rubiales subsequently resigned as president on 10 September 2023, later being banned from football-related activities for three years. A criminal complaint relating to alleged coercion is also being investigated.

The chance to kiss a hot Spanish guy, I guess. There's always next time.

Because homosexual people are widely ridiculed and heterosexual people aren't

[-] Kushan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

And misogyny.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 75 points 1 month ago

The whole thing looked like a mix of the cringiest of Micheal Scott mixed with a “that was just one moment when we knew he should be in a home” story.

So fucking cringe.

[-] varnia 64 points 1 month ago

Dear US Americans, the world cannot comprehend that this stain is still in office. It’s baffling that so many people still accept what he’s doing.

[-] statmonkey@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

It's more baffling that the rest of the world can't see how many of us are fighting and getting the shit kicked out of us.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Many either don't see it (they only watch our media snippets), or don't care to support it.

They just want to complain on the internet when something becomes inconvenient for them personally.

Most of these people are cowards, like the person that downvoted you. Many even help Trump by minimizing and belittling those resisting Trump to a portrayal of non-existance.

These people are little more than useful idiots for the GOP.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It may feel to you that when you're with your people everyone is against Trump. From the outside looking in, there are more people who support Trump than oppose him, and there are many times more people who are in neither camp and just accept that this is what the world is. That vast majority of Americans think that democracy only happens once every four years.

Because you aren't.

Sorry you think you are fighting, but you aren't and it's exhausting

[-] SCmSTR 31 points 1 month ago

Dear world, most Americans can't, either.

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It’s more like 50.0001% when looking at most polls.

“Reports say an ICE agent pulled a 6 year old child, a US citizen, out of a car and beat him to within an inch of his life, and then pissed on him. Then stripped his clothes off and fucked him. Then, he mailed shrapnel bombs to every one of the child’s friends.

51% of those surveyed said they felt that ICE’s actions were excessive.”

My unending madness comes from failing to understand that demonic 49%.

The ultra-wealthy and corporate interests outside of the US are as loyal to the well-being of their own nations as those in the US are to America.

That is to say not at all.

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

Yet you hear the same garbage being touted here too. "If we tax the ultra rich they'll leave and take the jobbies with them."

I had no idea they'd up and move all the societal infrastructure if we decide to finally have them pay their fair share. How exactly are they supposed to plop out the hospitals, schools, roads, power lines, pipes, sewers, [...] with them?

It's election year here, and I have no hope whatsoever that things will change.

Because Dark Triad Narcissist Trump wants to be seen with winners. It's why he was so chummy towards Mamdami when he won the NY Mayoral election that he even started dressing like him.

[-] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 32 points 1 month ago

It started with Home Alone 2. He let them film in his hotel for some screen time in the movie. The rest is shitstory.

[-] Amdouni@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago

Something tells me that this image will be used in the future to teach about Trump's history, something like Hitler in the Olympics.
