Obama photographer throws the best shade at Trump on Instagram

Pete Souza, who served as the chief White House photographer under former President Barack Obama, has been throwing shade at President Donald Trump in the best way possible: by sharing throwback pictures of Obama being amazing at the job in contrast to the missteps Trump has been making.

For example, a month ago, when Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto were engaged in a war of words over his campaign pledge to make Mexico pay for his border wall, Souza posted a picture of Obama sampling tequila with Peña Nieto.

Then, last week, when reports were circulating about Trump’s disastrous phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Souza posted a picture of Obama with Turnbull and former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Laos.

When Trump announced his controversial refugee, immigration and travel ban, Souza responded not only by posting a picture of Obama speaking with a young refugee but also the now-famous image of Obama talking with the 6-year-old boy who wrote him a letter after seeing the picture of a young Syrian boy photographed in an ambulance.

And when Trump announced his pick for the Supreme Court, Souza posted a picture of Obama with his pick, Merrick Garland.

Merrick Garland. Just saying.

After it was reported that Trump administration officials were meeting in the dark because they couldn’t find the light switches, Souza posted a picture of a cabinet meeting with the caption, “Those damn lights ;)”

Souza, please keep doing what you’re doing. We love it!
