I was joking, hence the winking emoji.
The second one is a different location, so can't be described as the "wide shot".0 -

A fantastic question, original source was social media and didn't say.
EDIT: Washington Post,Arlington pulls its officers out of D.C. after sweep of protesters before Trump visit

Arlington County officials on Monday night withdrew their police officers from the District.
Arlington police had been helping the U.S. Park Police with crowd control and were used to clear the way for President Trump to make an appearance tonight at St. John’s Episcopal Church near the White House — an action that involved firing chemical canisters and stingers at protesters, including families with children, who were demonstrating peacefully before the District’s 7 p.m. curfew went into effect.
The county’s police department had been working at Lafayette Square since Saturday as part of a preexisting mutual aid agreement with the National Park Police, filling in whenever an officer holding the line there got tired, said Libby Garvey, chair of Arlington County Board.
“The next thing we know, they get pulled in to do this photo op,” Garvey (D) said. “Our mutual aid agreement is to help each other when we’re trying to protect people; not for photo ops.
“It endangered everybody in the park. It endangered all of our officers,” Garvey said. “We don’t do that.”
Said Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz: "The mutual aid agreement is not put in place to allow for a blatantly political act. Crowd control is a far cry from assisting someone to stand in front of a church.”
Garvey said the county will reevaluate its long-standing agreement with the Park Police and said the county’s police will not be helping with any future protests in the nation’s capital until it decides on a course of action.
“We’re in a bad place,” Garvey said. “This is an abuse of our mutual aid agreement."

So it's from the same incident where he teargassed the clergy.

ok, so for comparison of presidencies you have used a PR photo taken on an organised black civil rights march commemoration years ago vs a photo during the corona virus epidemic in a city with rampant looting and violent protests.
I fail to see how any comparison of a presidents popularity or performance could be drawn from these drastically different situations.0 -
