   Photo Journalist Pete Souza was suspended from X (#Twitter) today for posting a photograph of former President Trump he had taken and was published by the Associated Press. The photograph showed Trump's seemingly undamaged ear.

   This man has twice worked in the White House as the official photographers of both Ronald Reagan and Barrack Obama. He is a respected professional photojournalist.

     @ParanoidFactoid Mediaite has it that he took it down himself, and that his was a "conspiracy theory". No explanation for the remarkably pristine ear.

     @ParanoidFactoid That's T's left ear. The photo is flopped horizontally. Unflopped it looks like:
