Apparently they took the photo and had copyright claim over it, and apparently they are such dickhead but hurt losers that they feel the need to file a copyright claim over Trump tweeting a picture of himself
Correction: a twitter employee that was instructed to look for these things recognized the photo and made the claim for the NYT. Then informed the NYT about it.
That's a fucking retarded ass rule and needs to be changed imo. Now if they paid Trump to take that pic like people pay models to take pics, then I could understand, but just taking a picture of someone shouldn't give you ownership of their likeness on that image.
Copyright claim of Trump himself?

Petition your congressman oh wait they don't do anything and should all be replaced by any means
Can Trump make a copyright claim against NYT for using him on the pictures without Trump's permission?
no
The text would count as editorial and this would be protected under parody laws. This was a desperate move but they aren’t able to do this.
Yep. This was an illegal copyright claim. They should be sued into the ground for making it.
