President Donald Trump briefly stopped his speech at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to single out a photographer in the audience, complaining that the images taken of him have made him look “heavy.”
After launching into familiar criticism of the “fake news” media, Trump appeared to recognize New York Times photographer Doug Mills standing among the crowd. Mills drew international attention last year after capturing a dramatic image of the moment a bullet grazed Trump during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024.
