This women’s tennis team White House photo-op didn’t just speak volumes about the Trump government, it screamed “You cannot be serious!” – 22 ace callouts
The champion tennis players of the University of Georgia women’s team made a trip to the White House on Wednesday, where they posed for a photo with their all-male coaching team, the male directors of the university’s athletics associations, and – of course – Donald Trump.

The team’s social media manager swung into action to boost their visibility – figuratively, at least.
An honor to represent the University of Georgia at the White House today! @realDonaldTrump thanks for having us out! 🇺🇸🏆 #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/3VLdfZ6olP

The positioning of all involved shrieked “You cannot be serious!” Anybody would think the gang of men at the front had done all the work to win three national championships in a row. It was pure, undiluted Trump misogyny.
White House photographer Margo Martin also shared a clip of the set-up.

“You ladies go on and get back there now. Behind us. Yep. A little further. Good. The men need to celebrate women’s tennis, which you play at an elite level.” https://t.co/HXROAmdNjP
