Chicago 1931

Trump to his trusty hench men after Trudeau and his team of loyal mounties intercepted his shipment of liquor to Canada]

"I want you to get this feck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Trudeau, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES! "

Loosely quoted from the untouchables  ;D

Priceless - thanks for the post.
While looking for it, I found this article, which shows the pics several of the other leaders posted of the same grouping:

Bwahahaha "Take the photo Angela Merkel released of the G7 leaders’ meeting this past weekend. It has been compared online to a Renaissance painting, which begs the question whether anybody on Twitter has actually seen any Renaissance art. It more recalls a stock photo with the file name “AGMtenseboardroom.jpg”."

Actually, I aggree with the initial statements about this photo looking like a classical painting. So many details, so many expressions, such a powerful body language! One can write a full essay about it! This photo is the essence of the past 2 years of world history.

The fact that some stock photographers learned from the masters and applied the learnings into their work is obvious and secondary at the same time.

As an example, among many others, the rule of thirds is not a stock photography discovery, but one from the masters. Yet, many stock photographers use it on a daily basis.

It did put me in mind, a bit, of The Night Watch.
