As a chorus of Democratic and Republican lawmakers slammed President Trump for sexist tweets about MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski, a former White House chief photographer took to social media to troll the president, again.

Pete Souza, who chronicled theObama presidency, shared a photoof an Oval Officemeeting four women had with Barack Obama while he was president.The candidphotoshows Obama sitting on hisdesk and gesturing while talking with the female staffers.

Souza labeledthe Instagram post: Respect for women.

Souza also shared the photo on Twitter, a few hours after Trump unleashed a couple of tweets about Brzezinski and her co-host, Joe Scarborough. Trump calledBrzezinski"low I.Q. Crazy Mika" andclaimed she had a facelift.

Trump's tweets came just three weeks after members of Congress called for civility, restraint and cooperation following a shooting rampage that injured five during a baseball practice in Alexandria, Va. Several lawmakers have taken to Twitter to rebuke Trump for his tweets, which many called sexist and unbecoming of the president of the United States.

Souza,whohas said his "political leanings are Democratic," has previously trolled Trump by sharing photos that appear to show the men's stark differences.

For example, he shared a picture of Obama clasping the left hand of his wife, Michelle Obama, as the two listened to a speech in Selma, Ala. The short caption,"holding hands," appears to be a slight at what Trump and first lady Melania Trump had just done or not done,The Washington Post's Amy B. Wang wrote.

Holding hands.

Souza's photo followed a pair of viral video clips of the president and the first lady during their trip to the Middle East last month. One shows Melania Trump appearing toswat away her husband's hand after they arrived in Tel Aviv.In the other, she appears to avoid holding the president's handafter they landed in Rome.

Last May, after The Post broke the news about Trump revealing highly classified information to Russian officials, Souza posted a photo of a folder marked CLASSIFIED on hisformer boss's desk.The caption: Organized paperwork on the Resolute Desk, 2009.

The subtext, wrote The Post's Emily Heil:Obama knew how to handle sensitive information.

Souza, who also photographed the Reagan White House,has for months been sharing candid pictureshe took of Obama over the past eight years.CNN described itas a silent, social media, shade-throwing protest told in visuals.
