Edited to note the different dates and to post yesterday's AP photo.
The picture below, showing Trump in a similar setting, appears to be from March 27. It was a cold enough day for Trump to be wearing an overcoat. In April and May, he took to wearing black gloves.

Here is Trump yesterday. The picture is from the Associated Press. Their pictures are in a format that doesn't show up at DU properly.

(1,339 posts)Sorry to burst your bubble, but notice the right index finger and the phone held in the left hand. That doesn't mention the absence of the engine seen in the foreground your posted pic. At that point I quit looking.

(1,339 posts)I originally thought you were saying they reused an old picture but called it new. Clearly that wasn't your point.
