Recent media coverage has focused on President Donald Trump’s travels aboard Marine One.

In September, the President was photographed on the helicopter alongside professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter following a trip from Camp David. 

By October, social media scrutiny shifted toward a different photograph taken during a trip to Wasilla, Alaska. This image, captured by a New York Times photographer, shows the President seated in a large chair with aides Katie Zacharia and Natalie Harp. The photograph has prompted discussions regarding media access and whether the image was ‘if not staged’, according to journalist Michael Wolff.
