While I’d understand if it was for a picture or a keepsake, I don’t get why he wants a cropped picture to keep around

So weird.

I wish they would show the actual cropped image in comparison, and not the Obama inauguration photo for this article. ....it's confusing. There is nothing cropped in that comparison image, and everything about it is obviously quite different--it's clearly not the same event.

I know because I am a pub quiz pro.

Remember, this was just Day 2. Imagine being that guy at NPS getting the phone calls from Trump, Zinke and Priebus all...day...long.

That guy probably went home to his partner and said "get ready for the greatest shit show in American history..."

I'm reminded of the South Park 'Bris' episode: "We're going to snip it so it looks bigger!"

This. The pics shown above aren't cropped. What do the cropped ones look like? And who wouldn't want pics that showed things to the best advantage for them? Check real estate photos, hotels, vacation spots and so on and so on. They ALL make pics that show things to the best advantage for them. I crop personal photos to leave out undesirable items. Seems like a real nothingburger.

"Oh. My. God" not found.
Shrug.

I know fake news, fake news

Still find it odd that the request wasn’t for a picture or keepsake to be kept it was just because I want it.
But who knows maybe he wanted to send the cropped picture to someone who handles Trump Tower displays but even that is odd I’d assume that person would be capable of cropping the picture.

They're to hang in his golf resorts probably.

Update from fake news CNN, appears the cropping was done to satisfy the Presidents urge to proclaim it was the biggest ceremony ever!

The cropping was not for a keep sake, it appears to have been done to avoid a Trump berating

Not that I don’t believe Trump and admin would do it but this seems to be a pretty weak story...

“she got the impression”, “she assumed”, “she understood”,”he believed”,”had not specifically asked him”

The official "said she got the impression that President Trump wanted to see pictures that appeared to depict more spectators in the crowd," the notes read. "She said that the pictures the public media had released had wide angles and showed a lot of empty areas. She assumed that the pictures the White House was asking for needed to be cropped to show more of the crowd present at the event, but acknowledged that Reynolds did not ask for this."

[Spicer, the White House press secretary, also reached out to the park service, and a staffer said she understood he asked "for NPS to provide photographs in which it appeared the inauguration crowd filled the majority of the space in the photograph."

”He said he did so to show that there had been more of a crowd," the investigators' notes read. "He said he believed that was what [redacted] wanted him to do. He said [redacted] had not specifically asked him to crop the photographs to show more of a crowd."/QUOTE]

Yes, I read the same one. And to be fair, Trump did not ask that the photos be cropped. He asked for photos showing the crowd was yuuuuge and they decided to crop it to give him what he wanted. Technically, the wrong doer here is the person who did the cropping. Trump's obsession with crowd sizes and ratings is pathetic, but it doesn't look like he tried to perpetrate a fraud. This time.

I agree and I’m not trying to say he committed fraud or something illegal. Just a weird thing that came out from a freedom of information request
Really odd that the photo was cropped to make the President happy.
