发图秀支持，结果翻车了......
近日，特朗普在推特上晒图感谢支持者：“哇哦，谢谢你们。”图中，绿色草坪上整整齐齐地摆放着许多支持特朗普的牌子。
然而，很快便被眼尖的网友发现，这张图右上角写的是“3月15日投票”，显然不是现在的。随后，照片原作者Alec MacGillis出来回应称，“照片是4年前的。我拍的，我的版权费呢？（Where's my credit??）”
Trump called out for trying to pass off his four-year-old campaign photo as new
MSN (Greg Evans)
Donald Trump has been called out after he shared a photograph on Twitter of a front lawn covered with his campaign placards which is actually from four years ago.
On Saturday the president shared a picture of a lawn in an unnamed location that was full of dozens of Trump 'Make America Great Again' campaign signs which he thought was great.
However, Trump didn't do any research into the picture as he would have soon discovered that this isn't from the current election campaign but his first one in 2016.
How do we know this? Because the photographer who took the picture called the president out over it. Alex MacGillis, who works for ProPublica, firstly complained that he hadn't been credited by Trump but then shared the original image which was taken in West Carrolton, Ohio in March, 2016 before being eventually published in November of that year.
In the 2016 article, MacGillis describe the scene pictured above. The signs had been created by a professional sign maker who was helping to distribute them from his front yard, with the help of a married couple, which included a 43-year-old woman who claimed to have never voted before. This comes from the ProPublica article:
In March, I was driving along a road that led from Dayton, Ohio, into its formerly middle-class, now decidedly working-class southwestern suburbs, when I came upon an arresting sight. I was looking for a professional sign-maker who had turned his West Carrollton ranch house into a distribution point for Trump yard signs, in high demand just days prior to the Ohio Republican primary. Instead of piling the signs in the driveway, he had arrayed them in his yard along the road. There they were, dozens and dozens of them, lined up in rows like the uniform gravestones in a military cemetery.
The sign man wasn’t home, but he had left a married couple in charge of the distribution. I got talking to the woman, Contessa Hammel. She was 43 and worked at the convenience store at a local Speedway gas station after four years in the military. And this was the first time she was voting in 25 years of eligibility.
As some have pointed out though the yard sign sale appears to be free yet the placards don't seem to be going anywhere fast, at least at that time anyway.
It's not entirely obvious how Trump saw this picture from four years and decided to share it but it would be worrying from his standpoint that he couldn't find a similar image from this year. At the time of writing, most major polls still put Joe Biden as the favourite for November's election.

I was looking for a professional sign-maker who had turned his West Carrollton ranch house into a distribution point for Trump yard signs, in high demand just days prior to the Ohio Republican primary. Instead of piling the signs in the driveway, he had arrayed them in his yard along the road. There they were, dozens and dozens of them, lined up in rows like the uniform gravestones in a military cemetery.
下文来自ProPublica的文章：3月，当我看到这个引人注目的景象时，我正沿着一条道路从俄亥俄州代顿市进入以前是中产阶级，如今显然是工人阶级的西南郊区行驶着。我正在寻找一位专业的标牌制作者，他把自己在西卡罗尔顿的牧场房屋变成了特朗普标牌的集散地，就在俄亥俄州共和党初选前几天，这些标牌的需求量很大。他没有把标牌堆在车道上，而是把它们排列在沿路的院子里。它们就在那里，数十个，一排一排，就像军事墓地里统一的墓碑。

标牌的主人不在家，但他留下一对夫妻负责分发。我和那个女人聊了起来，她叫，康泰莎·哈梅尔（Contessa Hammel），今年43岁，当了四年兵之后在当地一家Speedway加油站的便利店工作。这是她25年来第一次参加投票。

It's not entirely obvious how Trump saw this picture from four years and decided to share it but it would be worrying from his standpoint that he couldn't find a similar image from this year. At the time of writing, most major polls still put Joe Biden as the favourite for November's election.
