Trump and other men dominate White House photo celebrating women's tennis team

Source: The Independent

Wednesday 22 April 2026 15:43 EDT


A photo of Donald Trump posing with members of the University of Georgia’s championship-winning women’s tennis team has been mocked online, with many calling out the picture’s puzzling composition. “The official White House X account celebrates a women’s collegiate athletic team by placing them directly behind six smiling men.

Gee, thanks, Mr. President,” one user commented on the photo. Added another: “Whomever from the WH comms team that approved this photo composition should be immediately fired. It’s so egregiously bad that it’s an assault on good sensibility.”

The Georgia Bulldogs tennis team was one of several NCAA champions invited to the White House on Tuesday to celebrate their wins. A photo posted by White House staffer Margo Martin showed the women gathered behind six men, including the president, who was standing slightly elevated on a step.

“Congratulations, Georgia Women’s Tennis!” Martin wrote. “Can you hear the congratulations back there?” joked one X user, with another adding: “Siri, show us misogyny.” “Me when I definitely respect women’s sports teams: what if we put them behind us so you can barely see them,” replied a third user.

A group of misogynistic assholes who 'think' they are showing women their place in American society, when actually showing they are just a bunch of pricks.

But on the rare occasions I watch women's professional tennis the coaches tend to be male.

I look forward to that 2nd part happening literally. Well, at one particular funeral. When will be rid of this turbulent POTUS?

Seriously, what a colossally pathologically narcissistic asshole

and the ankle-monitor wearing guy on his right, our left.

And NONE of their suits fit!

And you seem to be missing the misogyny. This is the WOMEN's tennis team, so why are they not in front, instead of practically invisible, as krasnov and company prefer women to be?

If the thug in the middle had stepped aside a bit we could actually see the women’s tennis team.

This is a perfect photo to illustrate Trump's world view. Women do the hard work, and the men get all the recognition.
