Pete Souza is a national treasure. I'm so happy he was there to document the Obama White House.

[@TheMarissaMM]

I love Pete Souza!!!! Open, vulnerable, honest, positive, reflective, timeless. Great photographer!

[@MarcoPolo1299]

That dude was my uncles college roommate. My uncle won't shut up about it. LOL

[@StarrlaRo]

lol, dont blame him, if i was him i wouldnt shut up about it either

[@bennartey3409]

I can imagine 😂😂😂

[@kayanclarke5216]

LOL. I can’t blame him for that.

[@finalgirl9474]

Obama was a wonderful president. I disagreed with some of his policies, but he always conducted himself with dignity. He treated others with respect, like an adult and professional. I was proud to be American then.

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

Charming Lass When you want to compliment a co- worker do you say: Wow that dress looks great on you BUT you really screwed up yesterday’s meeting! Why would you mix a compliment with “I disagreed w his policies!” Be very specific and explain a policy you didn’t agree with. Then stop the idiocy of trying to praise and then demean him.

[@2figuras]

@@heleneschenbacher8512 Not really. You can admire someone even if you don't agree with 100% of their ideas. I don't see how your example applies to the the same concept.

[@abhishekranjan3787]

Charming Lass Being a horrible person and pretending to be nice is not all that difficult and Obama was really good at it...Yes, he took cute pictures with children but he also mass- murdered hundreds of thousands of children in Syria, Libya and helped Saudi Arabia do the same in Yemen.. he respected staff but also bombed dozens of Doctors from Doctors Without Borders..he pretended to be on the people’s side but gave Billions of dollars to Wall Street.. the list can go on but Obama made a huge contribution in ruining this country..

[@johncena3034]

@@abhishekranjan3787 Yea no I think this country was doing quite fine during his tenure really. Also hundreds of thousands is no where even CLOSE to the numbers of civilian casualties during obama's tenure. Obama's bail out literally saved us from a financial collapse potentially greater than the great depression. Obama made a huge contribution in fixing this country

[@victorlloyd5271]

He was not always a wonderful President. But he was always a wonderful man.

[@grytlappar]

Souza is _such_ a good photographer and photojournalist. (I say that as a photographer.) What a great asset to have had in the White House during such an important, groundbreaking presidency! Whoever it was that made the genius move of hiring him (or who knew about him; however that happened) did a damned fine job.

[@ChintanPandya01]

Obama personally hired him.

[@thembamsibi64]

Great interview. Few ppl give the spotlight to photographers... big ups to Trevor and his team

[@gmun2248]

Check out Pete Souza's instagram page - follow it! His work & skill is *definitely* (& rightly, imo) appreciated, *LOVED* & the response absolutely led to his book. 'Come for the photos - how it started; stay for the 'shade' in his captions' - it's somehow just subtle enough to be (almost) classy. My favourite: an amazingly beautiful photograph of a storm rolling over the White House, thick black cloud just about to open; amazing colours. One word caption: "Stormy." Hs timing is everything.

[@mahoganimedia]

Pete Souza : Professional Photographer, Legendary Troll, American Hero ... lol

Praise Trevor for another great interview ✌👌✔

I bought the book and it is something to behold. Well done Pete, well done.

There will always be Pete and his Insta shades 😎😏

I’m sure all the Middle Easterners Obama killed with his drone strikes miss him as much as a latte drinking, Prius driving, beanie wearing, nose pierced college students do. 🙄🤮

[@nawafalnafisah8808]

@Battle of Valmy debatable point... I can agree to it.

[@kimberleful]

Trevor Noah? Daily Show? Yep and Yep

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

@Battle of Valmy just go away you ignorant little troll, the channel you're looking for is Fox News where all the other ignorant mentally retarded right-wing assholes are hanging out

[@mogoshimogotsi6697]

Wife: "I didn't know you're funny" Pete: "I am funny, you just haven't been paying attention "

[@mouyeii]

oh man she *should* pay more attention. He's hilarious.

[@thefluffyferret]

Pete Souza is such a great photographer. He really has The Eye. And his second book is out, too: Shade, a tale of two Presidents.

[@djamilabelasri2571]

That play about Obama nd Joe...😂😂😂 Trevor is a genious🙌🏼

[@mlggamer5296]

Yo I have this book! I love every single thing about it. I felt like I was actually there. You know he's a professional when you feel the same way he probably felt taking the picture.

[@merrilouneigenfind104]

I love Pete Souza.

[@ernestogonzalez2379]

Trevor please talk about the situation in Nicaragua, people keep dying under the regime of Daniel Ortega and his wife. All kind of human rights have been violated and it feels we have been forgotten by the world.

[@MarmadukeTheCat19XX]

Trevor's laugh at 4:54 has to be one of the most genuine and contagious laughs I've ever heard 🤣

[@BosshowdoI]

I feel that's a bit.. He's trying hard to laugh

[@kayehenry3737]

@@BosshowdoI Yeah, sounded genuine to me, too, the first time. Then I watched it again more carefully. He might have been kindly laughing at a guest who is not particularly funny, but who already signaled he thought he was with the story about his wife. I think that's Trevor being a good host.

[@swagmeisterFLEX]

You have really good conversational awareness!

[@davidstorrs]

God, I so miss Obama. Remember when we had a President who was intelligent, well-educated, calm, and a good speaker?

[@PattyViviendo]

Oh I love Pete, I learned about him when I took a photojournalism class.

[@OctillionGaming1]

Great interview. Man he asked brilliant questions

[@arleneberlian]

Omg Omg Omg!!! I can’t believe Pete and Trevor!!!!!!!!!! I’m dying!!!!

[@st.jude3181]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

[@lovingmayberry2000]

I miss having a caring, intelligent, honest grown up in the White House.

[@ratedr9672]

Don’t we all😐

[@Sarbet888]

I feel sorry for who ever is now Trump white house photographer.

[@aesopsinspiration4716]

the way I see it if that photographer showed any unflattering photo of Trump, he'd fire him for "fake news"! LOL

[@kimberleful]

I think they'll have lots of juicy stories maybe? Or they change them often to avoid that...

[@msmith53]

THAT would be the FLY on Pence’s head!!!

[@iluvdissheet]

Trump doesn't have a photographer.

[@tongomanjang2828]

the way I see it , 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TechWithShon]

That picture st 2:40 made realise how much of a gentlemen Barack is

[@dragonsword7370]

He convinced a kind of racist guy from Georgia visited the White House House all the offensive jokes and lies were out of bounds by being the same gentleman. Shook his hands, was like and totally rocked that guy's view. I haven't heard of any time where Obama wasn't well mannered and friendly even before politics.

[@creativelife9871]

Went to Pete’s SHADE book tour in DC. Wonderful experience! ❤️

[@Yuri_Ukraine]

Best photographer of all times. Can’t wait to get this book

[@skye9936]

Amazing interview

[@christelheadington1136]

Try to imagine,a kid wanting to touch Trump's hair,"' 'cause it's just like mine".

[@TheStraatjutter]

.... the kid is going through chemotherapy but nobody has had the gut to tell him and it's just really uncomfortable, how about you?

[@santapm4042]

No it is trump wanting to touch the hairs of grown girl babes...actually he likes to grab

[@kayehenry3737]

No need to imagine: Jimmy Fallon did exactly that on national tv. (Okay, not a "kid" and not because "it's like mine," but still an image I can never un-see.)

[@CyrusVonBismarck]

Try to imagine Trumbo moving into the same pose.

[@boughtbot2639]

The rest of my day is going to kick ass, all because of your funny ass comment.

"im just gonna believe what i wanna believe"- how presidential, Trevor lol

📚The only thing good about Trump is that he made people read a book

[@brotherindy2642]

He made me want to vote. Idc who will running against him, they got my vote

[@truckingwithtobee]

My family met President Obama and the First Lady in 2014. My brother was one of the Fort Hood severely wounded shooting victims. I can’t explain how incredibly genuine these two beautiful human beings were. It’s a day I will never forget💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@soswovertherainbow]

trevor's obama voice 💜

[@dnimlarebil]

Obama was far from perfect as a president, but he brought dignity to the office, the scale of which we only slowly realize now.

[@cynthiaashton560]

Yes he was. None of us creatures are perfect. There is only One who is perfect and that's GOD. I think Mr Obama knew full circle that he was not perfect but his wife Michelle, whom he said that she keeps his ego in check said that in the title of her book " Becoming". We are all on a journey of Becoming. As long as we breathe in and out we learn each and every day. That's exactly what made his presidency a great one. Thanks Mr and Mrs Obama for appreciating the mercy God had given to you to keep America safe. I thank God for that. May God Almighty bless America.

[@nad1ax2]

he was a great president

[@rosesnewbeginning3547]

Just spend an hour watching his Insta feed...wow just wow...I think I'll buy his books shade and Obama.

[@adw1768]

Love this interview, and the subject matter is forever on my heart...how I miss 44 and do appreciate Mr Souza's outstanding working...love it!!❤ ⚘️

I thought Trevor was the professional troll of the President

[@trueblackknight8409]

Yeah he must be the James Bond of photographers 💯🤣🤣🤣

[@danskehans]

A good and intelligent man and a darn good photographer. As a photographer myself, I know how difficult it is to take a picture that also radiates heart and soul. Virtually all of Souza's images have that quality.

[@gixellia8455]

President Obama, please come back!!!!!!! :o(*****

Trolling Trump is a waste of time. The man is super petty and thrives on drama.

[@ambriaashley3383]

Interesting. I believe trolling is more of a release for those who dislike him and a jab at his followers, who have a *bit* more awareness and tend to get angry at seeing the truth. But yes. Trump will never get the joke.
