Former President Donald Trump has received a lot of flak online after a photo reportedly taken by a New York Post photographer showed him smiling and flashing a thumbs up on the first anniversary of the Capital riots. The ex-leader was captured as his vehicle crossed a roadside rally organized by his fans. Reportedly, as his motorcade stopped at a red light a few meters away from the 'Freedom Rally', he looked towards the shutterbug and posed happily.

Trump was reportedly returning to his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort after spending the day at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he was snapped. The Republican, who is apparently planning a re-run against President Joe Biden in 2024, was seen donning a white golf shirt and a red hat featuring his campaign mantra “MAGA” on the one-year anniversary of the attacks on the Capitol building that saw five deaths.
