Pete Souza ( http://time.com/4639338/obama-photos-we-loved/ ) , former Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama, has no qualms trolling President Donald Trump on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/petesouza/ ) . In fact, he does it on pretty much a daily basis. In light of President Trump's decision ( http://time.com/4801134/paris-agreement-withdrawal-donald-trump-rose-garden/ ) to pull out of the Paris Agreement ( http://time.com/4802829/mit-researchers-trump-climate-change-paris/ ) , Souza posted multiple photos of President Obama, whose captions all quoted the lyrics to "This Land Is Your Land ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiMrvDbq3s ) ."
Souza's modus operandi for comparing the Trump and Obama presidencies involves juxtaposing decisions made by President Trump with photographs of President Obama doing pretty something at odds with POTUS ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BUiXhWslde6/?taken-by=petesouza ) . Before Souza went on a posting spree, he uploaded a photo ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BUz2b_al7OE/?taken-by=petesouza ) of the signed Paris Agreement with the caption "He tried. But we failed our children."
The photographs of President Obama show him at many national parks, which could be another subtle jab at President Trump. Trump's proposed budget, however, would cut funding ( http://time.com/4723693/donald-trump-salary-national-park-service/ ) to the Department of the Interior by 11.7%. Similarly, after the inauguration, some national parks went rogue ( http://time.com/4649608/national-parks-climate-change-donald-trump-tweets/ ) and defied President Trump on Twitter.
The first picture involving the lyrics "This land is your land. This land is my land" shows the Obama family at Acadia National Park in Maine.

Other locations in his Instagram uploads include Koko Head Hiking Trail ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BU1wj64l0O1/?taken-by=petesouza ) in Hawaii, Kenai Fjords National Park ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BU1zFohFfM2/?taken-by=petesouza ) in Alaska, at an unnamed hilltop in Oahu, ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BU12qq2FU1q/?taken-by=petesouza ) and at Mount Mansfield ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BU2BwoJFjLx/?taken-by=petesouza ) in Vermont. "The future depends on all of us," reads his last caption.
