Platon, a British photographer known for photographing world leaders, describes his photo shoot with former President Donald Trump and what surprised him the most out of all his photoshoots. #CNN #News
That's why he is a storm...you want to get something out of him,he seems bigger than life. Ure just stunned of his resilience, I believe years and years after trump,maybe you'll learn to love yourself and when u do you can be able to love others...
psychologically also true. narcissists feel like i storm in themselves, it's never calm, hardly ever good. all the posturing is just around that and the feeling of inadequacy.
@@lurklingX true… but add in the fact that this “thing” has been a lie his whole life while being enabled to be a criminal; his answer was the least “human” response a person could give. It was meant to intimidate. Nothing more.
The last story, about the Guatemala mother, reduced me to tears. As a mother myself, it must be devastating to lose the person you love the most, your child. Platon's empathy and warmth is amazing. Thank you for showing us this.
My granddaughter was murdered at age 18. What it does is put you on your face in the carpet, grinding it hard, because your pain wants to drive you into the ground but the boards won't let it. There you are, trapped between unbearable pain and the earth itself.
@@G.G.8GG - Absolutely heartbreaking. So, so sorry for your loss and what you must be suffering. I also have a granddaughter, and am always in fear for her. Be brave, and cherish your memory of her.
The dems are in freak out mode. They know trump is winning so they’re election interfering by making up fake charges to attack him with hoping that he doesn’t make it to the White House again🤣🤣
@@Cp3786 Contrary to his paranoid storyline, apart from Trump's enablers, his unquestioning core-followers and various dictators, almost the entire world is hoping that he gets jailed or placed in a secure hospital.
He’s cunning and ignorant. An odd combination. And being ignorant doesn’t necessarily mean not smart. He’s pretty heartless, even in a crisis, like when he tossed out rolls of paper towels to the crowd in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

@Cp3786 That's not true...they don't have that kind of control.He is guilty as charged. He did this. Nobody else.Facts... He's a grifter and you've been conned.😮
jus t because you think that dose not ake it so. trump done more for charity than you. just a fact. Paid more in taxes than you. To be honest i bet you are type that judges people who are more succesful and helped more people than you and half of voters (70 plus mill ) want him as leader when i bet you couldnt even get anyone to date you let alone vote for you
To hear about the seclusion and walls and snipers that surround Putin's home, is in such stark contrast to the White House. Our president lives in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the country, with only a fence around his home. The paranoia must be overwhelming for Putin to live like that. And to have a photographer led in at gunpoint, that sounds like a scaredy cat. Not some big, powerful "strong man".

There is hardly “only a fence” around the White House. There are snipers there too, a detachment of marines, armed police, secret service agents and the traffic snarling motorcade with bullet proof cars and bodyguards. In the Nordics, we re used to seeing our monarchs move normally among us, shopping, walking, visiting restaurants etc. with only a single plain clothes police shadowing them.
Such a fascinating conversation. He talks about his work with such compassion and intelligence. It's certainly reflected in his photographs . I would love to see more content about this man and his photography.
Platon's empathy and compassion are what make him a great photographer who can capture images that speak so eloquently. He even had enough humanity to take on terrible subjects like t****.

@@Cp3786 what a bunch of horse hockey. I truly am sorry that you have been had. What is so sad is that it is difficult for people to just admit that they were wrong. Common sense is all that is needed with donald trump. He shows you who he is, and yet you fawn over him like he is a saint. These charges against him are of his OWN doing. Nobody made him take and keep classified documents... refusing to turn them over, even after he was given 1-1/2 years to do so. Nobody made him refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election, even after everyone in his orbit told him that he LOST.. that there was no fraud.. he is so emotionally stunted that he cannot bear to accept the fact that again, he is a LOSER and that more people voted for Joe Biden than voted for him so he did everything in his power to try to stop that from happening, sitting and doing NOTHING for over 3 hours while supporters that he LIED to for months stormed OUR house, even threatening the life of his OWN vice president (he "cared" so much that he never contacted Pence afterwards.. what a great guy).. and nobody made him pay off a former porn star for her silence so as not to affect the outcome of the 2016 election.. he did all of that on his OWN. Everything that he is going through is of his OWN doing.. NOT the "evil" democrats. The ONLY person who is a threat to our democracy is donald john trump. The mere FACT that he calls our elections into question is a reason why he should NEVER be president again.. he has done more to damage this country than any other man in history and he needs to be held accountable for this. He SHOULD be hauled up on negligent homicide for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans from a virus that he totally ignored for weeks because how DARE a pesky virus mess up his re-election bid and, again, he "cared" so much for Americans that he golfed every day while they lay dying alone in hospital rooms without family due to this virus that he totally ignored for weeks and weeks and then continued to downplay for the remainder of his term. I can't say here what I think truly should happen to him. He is below a loser.. he is below a piece of crap (apologizing to crap because it is literally better than he is). FULL STOP

I don’t think it’s necessarily ‘great’ leaders because Putin is in there… he leads with fear, similar to Trump. I think it’s important to see the stark contrast between the true greats and the dangerous, power hungry leaders
Excellent interview. I almost didn’t click on this because I’m utterly fed up with T45. Glad I did after all! The other portraits are fascinating: Muhammad Ali, Putin and his critics, and the Defenders book. I believe I may buy it.

@RandyWatson-vb9pk Single Digit IQ MAGA, an explosion to starve a fire of oxygen is of course possible. That's not force against force. It's also nothing like using a nuke to stop a hurricane. It would take 100's of nukes to equal the energy of a hurricane and the radioactive fallout would be more deadly than the hurricane itself. Only a simpleton would propose it and only an even bigger simpleton would attempt to defend it.
Excellent interview! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a photographer myself. I learned here that this extraordinary photographer is not only remarkably good in his technique, he connects with the people he photographs. Thank you again.
Literal child marriage in Ameríca needs to be banned nationwide. It’s still legal in most states due to loopholes due to the Republícans. Raise the min AoM to 18. Restore Roe vs Wade. This must change now. Survivors need more rights. UBI and or UBH would go a long way to help DV and SA survivors and disabled people. Free criminalized survivors.🌸Ⓐ🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️☭
California, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma allow those type of marriages. California and New Mexico being blue states. Now I am sure there are loopholes for more, this is also in Democrat states. When giving facts, maybe check it to be sure you’re right.

trump is predictable. He's been recycling arguments in courts trying to delay the trials. Numerous times he's said he was going to take the witness stand, only to end up not taking the witness stand. Numerous times he's been issued gag orders and we all knew he would violate them by the end of that day. And he did. The only way he compares to a storm is the wind velocity and the inability to tame it. But we can all become wind turbines and use that wind to create voting energy again to keep him out of the WH.

@@Cp3786 don't think for a second you have any chance of winning the government your side can't even run the part of the government it has which is the House of Representatives and the supreme Court loses more credibility every day how are those things proof that people should trust your side?

Trump has been star of a massive TV show, a Billion aire won an election that was 90% certain he would lose, and now in 2024 he is leading ALL polls and what have you done?
The sheer irony of that boardroom photo of Trump looking identical to Ned Beatty in the movie Network. Both Donald Trump and the film Network highlight themes of media manipulation, populist appeal, and criticism of corporate influence. Trump's use of social media, populist rhetoric, and anti-establishment persona can be seen as parallels to the film's portrayal of these themes, although it's important to note that Network is a work of fiction while Trump's presidency was a real-life presidential parody.
Even a momentary look at that last photo brings tears to my eyes. This photographers story here is SO worth hearing! That Drumpf statement is chilling, and I've known for a long time he is right about how smart these people are, Donald Senior specifically.
The storm in Trump is simply the western chauvinist's inability to control himself, even to save his own life. All bullies exist in a storm of stupidity and grievance, and their irrational behavior is entirely predictable. Their moment of self-doubt is the *first* cogent thought they've ever experienced.
Platon's understanding of humanity is captured honestly and beautifully is his photographs. His take on Trump is chilling and spot on. I am so very tired of the anxiety and chaos that is Trump.

@RandyWatson-vb9pk a lump of coal could represent Trump’s dishonest promise ro return the coal industry to being a major employer, something neither possible nor desirable.
@@Cp3786 trump’s chances of winning are zero. He’s already laying the groundwork to claim a second stolen election. It’s self evident that there’s nothing fake about the charges he’s facing. If it wasn’t for his pathological dishonesty and his paper thin ego, he wouldn’t be facing such charges. They’re a direct result of his own appalling behaviour. Far from Democrat politicians being involved, grand juries of Trump’s peers decided the charges were appropriate. Democrats have no need to keep Trump out of the White House, he’s achieving that very well on his own.
@RandyWatson-vb9pk sailing ships have been in common use for centuries. In Norway, real advances are being made in electric ships. Almost all of our ferries already run on electric power as is an increasing amount of our coastal shipping. Later this year, our young daughters will be embarking on a 5 week sailing trip on a 94 metre sailing barque, visiting 3 countries.
@RandyWatson-vb9pk The average US American has no understanding of the art of sarcasm and should leave it well alone. Should you ever try being sarcastic, it will probably fail, given your obvious challenges with English language literacy.
@@voteformethanks5307 Or doesnt understand a thing. Sleeping at your own trial...yeah...smart move. Juries really respect "relaxed" sleeping farting defendants. lol You sound like a genius!
This piece is fascinating and moving. Platon is a treasure. He says the powerful are very smart, much more than we give them credit for. How often we hear new pundits saying the opposite, as though they have figured out many things the powerful person doesn't know.
Nice that this guy isn't afraid to scratch the surface, ruffle a few feathers, or show some humanity before he takes his photos - the hallmark of a great portrait photographer.
@@RemoteViewer1 You think 4 people with dozens of spam accounts equates to the entire world? There are more 3rd world accounts who " support " Trump than actual Americans do.
Wow! A picture is worth a thousand words and yet this photographer has so much more than the picture to share with us. The value of the interaction that he had with the subject says volumes about his deep level of observation into the.soul of another person. Such a captivationg person.
Time 9:19 Christiane Amanpour shook her body as if she got a shiver down her back while listening to Platon story of the mother who found her son in the morgue
Trump is smart?!! Get a grip! This guy is hung up on all the histrionics of it all. I don’t sense any real feeling or empathy in his voice, how dumbed down is the world getting?! He can take a picture, that’s it!
He said don't underestimate people and he's right no one thought Trump could win the first time devious people can be very clever and that makes them dangerous
The devil's clever too. Same thing with these power-hungry dictator types. But that smartness garners zero respect from me. They are certainly not smart enough to be emotionally or spiritually intelligent.
You needed a longer segment for this amazing man . Needed ( applause like ) pauses after he spoke. I would have loved for this segment to be longer. Felt squeezed in, or squeezed out by all the sad, ugly news of the day. But it was a lovely fresh breath. I’ll watch it many times and share it.
CNN, please work on your titles You have a bad habit of using titles that you spend less than 20% of the video talking about This would have been better labeled as Photographer talks about shooting famous figures You spent more time talking about Putin's love of the Beetles than Trump
Unfortunately the way the YT algorithm works makes this a suggestion that would ensure this video wouldn’t have been seen. Although that being said - I do think RU-vid should allow you to rename videos or add a context comment that is specific to you. That way you can make playlists to help people out of the trump cult - and other educational reasons - by providing your brain its own context clues on what the video was. Since these titles have to be sensational. As a last note - I probably would have not watched this piece with the other title. And to me - the Putin piece of this story was pretty chilling. So my private title might involve that.
I don't know if I'd call him smart necessarily. He wanted to nuke a hurricane and prescribed drinking bleach to cure COVID. He altered a weather map with a sharpie just to avoid admitting he'd made a simple mistake. He's calculating, yes. He's not smart. Plus, he lies about everything. He made the correct calculation that, even though his lies are so easily exposed because everything is on the record in one way or another, his fans wouldn't care.
I live in Tucson. I've never heard or seen this, though the summer months are serious out here in the desert. We need local media to cover this. Thank you for sharing these heartbreaking images.
doing so would make him seem more human. they don't want to do that. it would also show that he's smart - maybe smarter than their viewers, since most of them can't speak Russian. again, they don't want to do any of that.
He will never ever let that happen, and he will never do that in front of foreign cameras because he knows how propaganda works note how he ordered everyone out of the room with only his most trusted bodyguards staying behind, He also speaks German fluently.
@@vinny7114 exactly right. he doesn't to be humanized any more than US media wants him to be humanized. for him its all part of the intimidation thing.
@@mhall801 You are the poorly educated. Everyone by contrast to you *IS* smarter than you. I know its hard for you to understand but that is not our problem.
