Pete Souza's (Obama photographer) Twitter account vanishes

[Tommy Carcetti]

The last thing he posted was a picture taken today by Doug Mills (NY Times photographer) showing Trump’s barely blemished and unbandaged ear.

No clue whether Souza deleted his own account or if Twitter took it down.

Souza was known to feud on Twitter with Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician (no longer licensed) who wrote several letters on Trump’s behalf claiming to attest to the wound on Trump’s ear being caused by a bullet as opposed to debris.

1. They seem a bit sensitive about the ear thing, eh?

2. So sensitive that there have been no reports or press releases. Strange everyone involved is silent

3. Here's the photo Souza posted

If you zoom in, it’s possible you can see a darker colored spot on the top corner of his ear.

Still hard to reconcile that with a bullet wound, though. If it was in fact a bullet, it must have only made impact with mere microns of tissue.

6. Not quite the same photo - see reply 5 for a screenshot of Souza's message with a photo taken only a

second or two from that one. I agree that it shows minimal damage to his ear, but if it was a bullet or part of one, as the FBI confirmed, it really was a very close call.

Editing to add Souza's post said it was an AP photo, not NYT.

4. His ear wasn't hit by a bullet from an AR-15

5. Screenshots found on Twitter of that last message and the account now:

8. A shot was fired. Trump grabbed his ear. In doing so, he popped a zit. It bled profusely.

9. He's licensed in FLORIDA... you can google it.

10. Maybe he quit

Maybe Mr Souza deleted his own account.

It's also possible that the owner of twitter nuked the account.

Either way, Pete Souza is lucky to be free of the place.
