"Wow. @dougmillsnyt with the shot(s) of the century. First photo: round in air Second photo: Trump touches ear Third photo: blood on hand It's *insane* how close the country was to a complete disaster today. pic.twitter.com/aEJgM7nlFT Angry Staffer (@Angry_Staffer) July 14, 2024 Pulitzer Prize! Pulitzer Prize! Trump exclaimed. He got one for the bullet. He had the bullet. But he got how many Pulitzer Prizes? Three Pulitzer Prizes. He then gestured to the other assembled photographers and remarked, All talented guys. These are great guys."
"He then gestured to the other assembled photographers and remarked, All talented guys. These are great guys. I don't like the people back there. These are the ones that take the pictures. Circling back to Mills, the president made a request that might have the photographer questioning his angles. Make me look thin for a change, Doug, quipped Trump. You are making me look a little heavy. I'm not happy about it."
President Trump singled out New York Times photographer Doug Mills during an hour-and-a-half speech to congressional Republicans at the Kennedy Center. Mills captured a Pulitzer-winning image of a bullet streaking past Trump’s head after grazing his ear during the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump repeatedly shouted “Pulitzer Prize!” and noted that Mills “got one for the bullet.” He praised assembled photographers as talented, said he did not like other people in the audience, and asked Mills, “Make me look thin for a change,” complaining images made him look heavy.
