Some view it as a collection of historical presidents and their spouses.
Describe it as a group of Elite Monsters who, in contrast to Rev. below, launched a dozen wars, killed millions, and are essentially some of the worst war criminals ever to exist.
Like Chay, who captions the photo” Killers Club”:

Ok, but did you know that’s not the REAL, authentic version of this photo?
I’m about to blow your mind.
Melania Trump was a part of the original version!
Yes, actually.
Take a look:
Why did everyone sever Melania from the photo? pic. twitter.com/z1PaTewfl Q

And if you compare it to Melania’s small cropping, which we’ve all seen, it disappears.
It is true that Melania was in this picture, but I did n’t believe it until I looked into it myself.
Do I think Melania is “in the exact club” as these Monsters?
Scarcely.
She posed for a photo with them all at the same gathering, in my opinion.
In fact, according to local KCBD, the gathering was Second Lady Barbara Bush’s funeral on April 21, 2018:
Four previous presidents and three primary ladies attending Barbara Bush’s funeral on April 21, 2018, went viral. The image rapidly became popular, according to a CNN Chris Cillizza reporter, and serves as a reminder of the strength and continuity of American democracy.
The man who took the unique photo, Paul Morse is a New Orleans- based photographer.
The photo was planned at the reception due to the funeral service, according to CNN. Before they entered the service, it was taken.
Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama and Melania Trump joined George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and Laura Bush in the photo.
The Lubbock County Democratic Party’s headquarters posted the photo without a caption the day after it went popular, but it was missing one person. Everyone in the photo, aside Melania Trump, had been cropped.
The Vice Chair, Leo Flores, said,” It was an honest mistake.” When KCBD inquired about the photo’s cropping at the Lubbock County Democratic Party headquarters.
He claimed to have taken the wrong photo and that he must have taken it from his ( Facebook ) feed. He claimed that when he noticed the error, the post had more than 30 comments on it, and that he then decided to leave it only.
He added that he became active and has no edited the social media post to clarify that it was an error.
After speaking with KCBD, the post was edited, and the photo’s caption then reads:
I’m sorry for posting an imperfect picture. Before it was pointed out, I did n’t realize anyone was missing. Thank you for your concern.
What do you think?
Only an fair mistake?
I have to admit that I prefer the photo much more when Melania is not in it.
I do n’t like seeing her with these horrible people.
But just like Bob Ross, I call the cropping out of Melania a “happy much accident”.”}]] [[{“value”:”
You’ve probably all seen this famous picture circulating on the internet:

Some people see it as an historic gathering of Presidents, their spouses and their children.
If you are like Rev, then view it as a gathering Elite Monsters that started a dozen conflicts, killed millions and are basically the worst war criminals in history.
Like Chay who captioned the photo “Killers Club”.

Did you know this is not the original, REAL version of the photo?
I’m going to blow your mind.
The original version included Melania Trump.
Yes, really.
Have a look at:
Why is Melania always cut out of the picture? pic.twitter.com/z1PaTewflQ

If you compare this version to the one we’re used to seeing, you can see that the crop is tighter. Melania is no longer in the picture.
Melania is in this photo. I didn’t think it was real, until I checked it out myself.
Do I think Melania “belongs” to the same club as these Monsters or not?
Hardly.
I think she is a nice person who posed for the photo when they were all together.
According to local KCBD the gathering was actually First Lady Barbara Bush’s funeral on April 21st, 2018:
A photo of four former presidents and three former first ladies at the funeral of former First Lady Barbara Bush on April 21, 2018, went viral. The image quickly became viral, a symbol of strength and continuity in American democracy, said CNN reporter Chris Cillizza.
Paul Morse, the photographer who took the original photograph is based in New Orleans.
CNN reports that the photo was taken at the reception before the funeral service. The photo was taken just before they entered the funeral service.
Bill and Hillary Clinton joined George H.W. Bush, Barack and Michelle Obama, and Melania Trump. Bush, George W. Bush, and Laura Bush are in the picture.
The Lubbock County Democratic Party headquarters posted the photo the day after it went viral. However, there was one person missing. The photo was cropped so that everyone but Melania Trump could be seen.
Leo Flores said that it was an honest mistake when KCBD contacted the Lubbock County Democratic Party Headquarters in order to find out why the photo had been cropped.
He told KCBD that he must have grabbed a wrong photo from his Facebook feed. He said that when he realized the mistake, there were more than 30 comments. So he decided to leave the post alone.
He also said that he was busy and had not edited the post on social media to say that it was an mistake.
After speaking with KCBD the caption was changed to:
I apologize for posting a picture that is incomplete. I didn’t notice that anyone was missing until someone pointed it out. Thank you for your concern.
What do you think about?
Just a mistake made in good faith?
I must say that I like the photo a lot more without Melania in it.
I don’t want to see her with these terrible people.
Just like Bob Ross, I would call the cropping of Melania as a “happy accident”.
