| Pete Souza is trolling Trump for his Mika tweets Posted: 29 Jun 2017 10:42 AM PDT  Oh hey, would you look at that? Pete Souza is trolling the president again! This time, the Insta-shade came in the form of two photos of former president Barack Obama speaking to a group of women in the oval office. SEE ALSO: Pete Souza shares adorable, perfectly-timed photo of the Obamas The caption on the first photo is simple, but a major jab at Donald Trump for his latest Twitter spectacle. It reads, "Respect for women." Respect for women. A post shared by Pete Souza (@petesouza) on Jun 29, 2017 at 9:53am PDT Some people might say the photo isn't so respectful, because it looks like Obama's lecturing the women in the room, but it still got significant love online. Souza posted more photos later in the day. Respect for women, 2. A post shared by Pete Souza (@petesouza) on Jun 29, 2017 at 12:10pm PDT Respect for women, 3. (President Obama greets US troops after secret all-night flight to Afghanistan in 2010). A post shared by Pete Souza (@petesouza) on Jun 29, 2017 at 1:28pm PDT Respect for women, 4.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017 Of course, Mika hit back at Trump not too long after. pic.twitter.com/8YhzcCUwM1 — Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) June 29, 2017 And lots of people on social media, including politicians on both sides of the aisle, expressed how unhappy they were with Trump's tweet. MSNBC responded to Trump soon after, too. "It's a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job," the statement reads. Souza is known for trolling Trump through photos of the Obama administration on his Instagram account. It's just one of those things that never gets old.
