A new photo of Donald Trump frowning, taken on Friday by Evan Vucci of Reuters, has got people talking:

The photo was taken by Reuters photographer Evan Vucci, the same photographer who took the famous photo after Trump was shot in Butler in 2024. The photo was taken at Andrews Air Force Base as Trump boarded Air Force One, heading to New York. While there, he attended a FIFA reception before heading to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

Why the frown? It could be the resumed war in Iran, which has sent gas prices soaring, or the less-than-enthusiastic response to his Thursday night address, in which he claimed interference in the 2020 presidential election by China.

Per the AP, “a review by The Associated Press found no such confirmation in the collection of newly declassified reports, investigation files, intelligence analysis and assorted correspondence. Many pages are so heavily redacted that their findings are unclear. Others outline vulnerabilities and assessments that have been well-documented for years. There’s no evidence that China or any other foreign entity manipulated the vote in 2020 or any other year.”

A lot of social media users had thoughts on the photo:
