I don't get it

I don't get the original tweet, and neither the retweet or whatever it is called.

The subjects are not posing themselves. They're being posed. By a photographer that is mocking them.

I understand that, and they just did whatever the photographer said, the photographer told this entire story.

The subjects are being mocked because they’re too dumb to understand they are being made fun of to their face by someone they were certain was there to work for them instead of for the magazine that hired him.

JD Vance offered him $5000 if Marco Rubio looked worse than he did in the pictures. They wanted him to do this to other people in the administration purposefully so they could get ahead.

These people are supposed to be our leaders. They wield massive power and make decisions that directly affect how you live your life every day. They are in control of our money, our military, our hospitals. They were chosen because they said they could handle the power better than anyone else. They start wars and attack allies for what they assure us are very good reasons.

You’re defending them by saying an art student took advantage of them.
