The Trump White House on Saturday omitted Gauthier Destenay, the husband of Luxembourg prime minister Xavier Bettel, from the caption to an official photograph of the spouses of Nato leaders, taken at this week’s summit in Brussels.

Destenay, a Belgian architect, married Bettel in 2015, becoming the first same-sex spouse of a leader of a European Union member state.

American first lady Melania Trump was identified twice in the caption to the official White House photograph, which was taken by Andrea Hanks and posted to Facebook in a collection of pictures from Trump’s nine-day international tour.

The caption read: “First Lady Melania Trump poses with Belgium’s Queen Mathilde, center, and other spouses of Nato leaders: First Lady Emine Erdoğan of Turkey; Iceland’s Thora Margret Baldvinsdottir; the First Lady of France Brigitte Trogneux; First Lady Melania Trump; Slovenia’s Mojca Stropnik; Bulgaria’s Desislava Radeva; Belgium’s Amélie Derbaudrenghien, and Norway’s Ingrid Schulerud, during their visit Thursday 25 May 2917 [sic], at the Royal Palace in Brussels.”

Shove me aside if old

 

[NeOak]

Quick, someone replace him with Melania

 

[SpaceWolf]

Fuck

Truuuuuuuuuuuump.

 

[rtcn63]

Not a single one of them looks like they want to be there. The guy in the suit was looking for the bathroom and wandered into the room.

 

[norm9]

Just a little wink and nod to his base.

 

[capitalCORN]

How you doing there twinks 4 Trumps. You guys ok?

 

[BocoDragon]

Incompetence or malevolence?

I'll choose incompetence in this case.

It looks like the Trump Admin hired Cacpom's copy writers.

 

[milkham]

That's just so fucking petty

 

[NYCmetsfan]

My guess that this was just social media fuck up, with Melania twice and the wrong date

 

[Muffin1611]

Fuck this White House.

 

[Effnine]

My guess that this was just social media fuck up, with Melania twice and the wrong date

That's quite the coincidence, though.

 

[buttery fistful]

that'll show 'em!

 

[Rayis]

Fuck those homophobic assholes! I love how happy he looks to be there! The first gentleman of Luxembourg, whose spouse is also a man, I love the modern world.

 

[DemWalls]

I'd kinda misread read the title, and thought they photoshopped him away. That would've been something.

 

[HStallion]

My guess that this was just social media fuck up, with Melania twice and the wrong date

Coming from our current white house? Yeah I don't even give them the benefit of a doubt now.

 

[Lucky Forward]

...during their visit Thursday 25 May 2917 [sic], at the Royal Palace in Brussels.”

Actually, the lady in the pale blue/lavender outfit looks like she's from 2917.

 

[John Dunbar]

shameful that this still happens in the 2900s.

 

[Dirca]

I knew Trump would complete one term, but was skeptical about a second term. I never would have thought that he'd still be president in 2917.

 

[MIMIC]

American first lady Melania Trump was identified twice in the caption

bwahahahahaha

Anyway, that's a really nice picture.

 

[BocoDragon]

shameful that this still happens in the 2900s.

Heh.

 

[VaultBoy101]

Gauthier Destenay is an incredible name.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I'm going to try and be a bit fair and not jump to conclusions on this one. Seeing the thread title, I had assumed that it meant they Photoshopped him out.

Given the fact that they listed Melania twice and jumped about a hundred years in the future, I think this was just a mistake.

 

[Earthbound64]

The far bigger news is the fact that they have a picture from 2917.
Tell us of the future!

We're in 2817 now?
Can you tell us of the future?

 

[Aurongel]

Sounds like an honest mistake for me.

 

[akira28]

in the future, all chairs have been replaced by plantigrade stuffed lions.

King Barron decreed this in 2036.

 

[Mollymauk]

Sounds like an honest mistake for me.

This administration is prone to "honest mistakes."

Avatar 2 comes out and it's just ok

 

[TetraGenesis]

Like, just straight up disgraceful. Whitewashing fucking facts.

And liberals are snowflakes...

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Gauthier Destenay is an incredible name.

Sounds like a vampire's name from one of those Anne Rice novels

Avatar 2 comes out and it's just ok

After 800+ years of production, that's kinda disappointing.

 

[TheCochese]

But he held a flag once.

 

[Flux]

Pence just shaking and fuming as he hits submit.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Man. This gives me flashbacks to her speech at the convention.

She's just a clumsily wielded cudgel of a pitiful man's empire of incompetence.

 

[SenorArdilla]

lmao

Seems likely.

Also seems likely.

lmao

with the face it's too much

is that a photoshop? it's such a perfectly timed shot

 

[mugurumakensei]

They got the day wrong. May 25, 2917 was on a Tuesday.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Looks like the intern who wrote this, too, wishes it was 2917

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Spoiler

lmao

but it's upside down!

 

[CHC]

Ironic because he looks like the only one in the picture who is even remotely happy.

 

[Earthbound64]

[TemplaerDude]

Another petty move by an immature and pathetic world leader and his cabinet of cronies and crooks.

Everyone knows Trump is all about the Golden Path.

 

[Somnid]

Making this into a conspiracy is just slightly less dumb than the lack of proofreading by Trump's media team.
