This Photo That Trump Posted on Twitter Is Going Viral For All the Wrong Reasons
If there were two words to describe a photo that President Donald Trump recently tweeted, they would undoubtedly be: white and male. On Thursday, Feb. 16, he shared a picture of him encircled by members of Congress who support him, and they are all men, except for one white woman.

Twitter users were, as expected, critical of the photo, and their reactions were hilarious.

The so-called "Trump Caucus" surrounding the president, who maintained stiff thumbs up and Colgate-commercial smiles, are Republican representatives who are vocally supportive of his administration. Sourcing members from across the country, Trump's Caucus includes congressmen from Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Missouri, and Tennessee. Two of the representatives are Chris Collins from New York and Duncan Hunter from California. The sole woman of the group is Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee.
This isn't the first time we've seen a photo that captures the Trump team's lack of diversity. How could we forget when Trump signed sweeping regulations on reproductive rights in a room full of men?
