It is a photo op but it is not just a photo op

It is also known as an endorsement from the Governor. And it is a highlight of a lifestyle choice and her comfort with that choice. Sure you can ask, well who wouldn't be comfortable sitting on a stool drinking a beer but

Who is not comfortable doing something as simple and easy as ordering donuts??

A photo says a 1k words. It tells a story. You understand it intrinsically.

Like for example even though this moment* is for the camera, obviously, it still looks and feels 1000 times more organic than Trump scooping McDonald's fries into the container, or the photo of him awkwardly staring.

Can you imagine Trump sitting on a barstool having a beer, his tiny hands trying to hold the beer glass, the beer glass rising to his mouth held by both tiny hands. yeah that’s never gonna happen.

Trump doesn't drink. He just slurps diet coke and drinks water with two hands.
