Rhode Island teacher Nikos Giannopoulos was named that state’s “Teacher of the Year.” A few weeks ago Giannopoulos was among teachers to visit the White House and he recently received his photo with the president:
Giannopoulos, who teaches 11th and 12th graders at Beacon Charter High School for the Arts in Woonsocket, visited the White House with other teacher of the year winners in April. He received the photo of his moment with Trump this week and immediately posted it to Facebook.
Here the teacher’s photo with Trump:

Epic trolling and the first time I've seen Melania smile, I mean a real smile. DJT looks a tad awkward with the leaning away. https://t.co/VfIXiZYVqP

But was it as big of a deal as The Resistance made it out to be? Not really:
Guess it was safe for him in the White House. Sure messes up the narrative… https://t.co/Y6kmxwIg21

Whatevssss… @POTUS is damned for being intolerant then this happens and he's still wrong????
— Raymond Ramos (@r_aymondr) June 17, 2017
so what? Trump has made his support for gays known. He's also not a racist. Surprise, surprise. Leftist just gobble up propaganda
— El Cidro (@ElCidius) June 17, 2017
and Trump didn't mind because he is not anti-gay, or racist. Only some in media and Dem party try to portray him as that, for votes
— Steve Owens (@Chasenbryce) June 17, 2017
And? Who cares! @POTUS and @FLOTUS look happy. Teacher looks happy. Everyone's happy. https://t.co/0g7jBKLpjP
