Photographers generally want people to see their photos. So no, they were not thinking about the second part.

Pro here and ya I would want the exposure of this photo regardless of its context. Selfish maybe. But I could retire off this single photo

why would it be "selfish"?

war photography too is there and there were always discussions about its function.

As a photographer, you may hate trump and everything he represents, you're responsible for documenting what's happening there and then as well as you can.

yes, frame introduces interpretation and photography is never neutral but it's fidelity to light is unquestionable. That relationship with "reality" must be what distinguishes a photographer from somebody holding their phone unwittingly in front of their face.

everybody can write, but then there are writers.
