There's something creepy going on in this photo of the Donald among his flock

Look closely



There's an extra arm in that picture, coming over the shoulder of the women in the pink hat, that doesn't seem to belong to anyone in that photo. It's just a disembodied arm, floating out to touch Donald Trump, like the hand of God. It reminds me of that "hand out of nowhere" that's holding the butter knife in da Vinci's "Last Supper".

Also, I'm pretty sure that other woman up front is asking The Donald to eat her baby for good luck. I wish I had a baby to offer to The Donald for his next meal. He hungers... he hungers.

the funniest one is the photoshopped one where they replace the face of everyone with the face of the woman with the baby.

and that arm belongs to someone wearing white whose face is blocked by the guy's arm. But if that's not so then it's the one with the sign.

You can see the V-neck is white. Also, she has a gold pendant on, against the white shirt. The guy in front of her's arm makes it look like she's wearing his sleeve as a shirt. She's not.

believe that arm belongs to another woman in a white blouse whose face is blocked by the guy on the right in the blue shirt taking a pic.

Kind of like this actual image from Charlie White, which, coincidentally, also features an extra "mystery" arm.



Seriously, though, in the Trump picture, you can see that the outstretched arm belongs to the sign-bearing bespectacled woman in the white top. It just looks weird because her upper body is turned toward Trump but the arm is going away.

He specializes in high-production-value photography of scenes that are very unsettling in some hard-to-define (usually) way.

This particular image is from a series he did called Understanding Joshua. It's a series devoted to the social and interpersonal anxieties of males in our society.

Google Charlie White and you'll find out more about him. Some of his work is actually kind of amusing, but a lot of it is disturbing, again in a vague way. You end up having to think about why it unsettles you. In my opinion, that's a sign of great art: it makes you think.

Damn! Those are some teeth on that woman.

That whole crowd looks photoshopped to me.

I'm sorry your abusive post personally attacking me was hidden by jury vote of 6-1. Flame outs are never pretty. But going thru my old posts and insulting me is not a healthy response.
