From the Magazine | Pete Souza on throwing shade at Trump: 'I couldn’t just sit by and not do anything'
Photojournalist Pete Souza, 64, served as White House chief photographer for President Barack Obama for eight years, and previously as White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan. Souza’s latest book, “Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents,” contrasts the Obama and Trump administrations by juxtaposing photos of the former with tweets, quotes and headlines generated by the latter.
It helps to have observed two presidents from two different political parties. Both of whom I thought were decent human beings, and both of whom I thought understood what it meant to respect the office of the presidency. And then this guy comes along, who I think disrespects the Oval Office every day. Lies to us all the time. Bullies people. I felt I had a unique voice and that I couldn’t just sit by and not do anything. I don’t know that I could have lived with myself if I didn’t speak out.
That’s sobering. So, did you feel uncomfortable sharing your opinions after doing the opposite for most of your career?
