for a photo of Trump the Invincible before they evacuated him.

(For those who don't get that reference, there is a video circulating of the Butler shooting that shows the crane, that held the giant flag, moving immediately after the shots to bring the flag into the picture frame as shown in that uncanny iconic photo of the Butler affair. I don't know if the video is authentic. If so, that certainly seems like a planned thing.)
