That's how copyright law works; any work, including a photograph, is the property of it's creator/their employer, not the subject.When Trump sat down for a photo session with the NYT he agreed to allow them to take pictures of him that they would have the copyright for, not him. It's the same as if they publish an article about him, they control the copyright.
What a world POTUS does not own his own image. FUCK THIS SHIT
Trump owns his likeness, but (allegedly) the NYT owns the photo.
It's a very odd thing to take down, but this does show the NYT has political interests in hurting trump.
