Obama White House photographer Pete Souza is trolling Trump on Instagram

Pete Souza spends his post-White House days sharing photos of his eight years as former President Barack Obama's official photographer.

But the choice of the photos he shares on Instagram — and when he shares them — often appear as digs to the new administration. Some are more subtle than others.

Souza, who also was official White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan, has alluded to President Trump's redecorating plans, his immigration ban and his pick for U.S. Supreme Court.

Days after Trump took office —amid rumors of a White House revamp — Souza posted this photo with the caption, "I like these drapes better than the new ones. Don't you think?"

Last week, his posts featured Obama with immigrants and refugees as the battle over Trump's immigration ban grew heated.

Remember Alex, the six-year-old boy who wrote President Obama a letter about the Syrian boy photographed in the ambulance. Alex visited the Oval Office with his family the day after the election. "Dear President Obama, Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance in Syria? Can you please go get him and bring him to [my home]? Park in the driveway or on the street and we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons. We will give him a family and he will be our brother. Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him. In my school, I have a friend from Syria, Omar, and I will introduce him to Omar. We can all play together. We can invite him to birthday parties and he will teach us another language. We can teach him English too, just like my friend Aoto from Japan. Please tell him that his brother will be Alex who is a very kind boy, just like him. Since he won't bring toys and doesn't have toys Catherine will share her big blue stripy white bunny. And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions in math. And he [can] smell Catherine's lip gloss penguin which is green. She doesn't let anyone touch it. Thank you very much! I can't wait for you to come! Alex 6 years old "

Then there was this, a photo of Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has pledged not to pay for Trump's border wall.



This photo of Merrick Garland, the president's pick for U.S. Supreme Court last year, was posted as Trump prepared to make his own nominee for the high court. His caption says it all: "Merrick Garland. Just saying."
