    A. The rare occasion when Trump is the smallest guy in the photo.

    2. He looks especially old and worn out in this shot. All that Winning! must be mighty stressful.

    A little more difficult to buy there. From the wiki:

    Russian citizens over 18 years of age can obtain a firearms license after attending gun-safety classes and passing a federal test and background check. The license is for five years and may be renewed. Firearms may be acquired for self-defense, hunting, or sports activities. Carrying permits may be issued for hunting firearms licensed for hunting purposes. Initially, purchase is limited to long smooth-bore firearms and pneumatic weapons with a muzzle energy of up to 25 joules (18 ft⋅lbf). After five years of shotgun ownership, rifles may be purchased. Handguns are generally not allowed. Rifles and shotguns with barrels less than 500 mm (20 in) long are prohibited, as are firearms that shoot in bursts and have more than a 10-cartridge capacity. Suppressors are prohibited. An individual cannot possess more than ten guns (up to five shotguns and up to five rifles) unless they are part of a registered gun collection.

    Trump appears to be standing well back of the other two in the photo, so the foreshortening effect will make him look smaller.

    Probably to his chagrin since he always wants to dominate the image.

    Yep. But the NRA folks are gullible enough to think they might be able to loosen those laws (because Putin's operatives have told them so).

    Or, worse, they aren't gullible and just DNGAF about where they get money.

    Except there's no reason to believe the typo is deliberate. He spells like he reads ... oh yeah.

    But considering every president I can recall in my lifetime has enjoyed a round or two, the Secret Service doesn't have a fleet stored somewhere?

    It looks like the photog was standing downhill from them, though.
    EDIT: TT beat me to it.
