It was a burst of shots which is typical with modern cameras when you're trying to capture someone speaking otherwise you get some odd facial expressions which you don't publish if you want to keep your job. He was trying to freeze the motion of the flag behind Trump.
Being 24mm these image are still cropped at the top/bottom but you can see the flag is nicely captured with some softness from shooting at f1.6
Mills has taken memorable photographs of presidents going back to Ronald Reagan. But he has found a new, perhaps surprising, admirer in Trump, who, for all of his cries of “fake news,” has repeatedly singled out one photojournalist above all others for his omnipresence and talent.
Aboard Air Force One last fall, the president peered through a tangle of arms holding voice recorders to find his favorite journalist peering at him: “There’s my genius photographer,” he said, gesturing toward Mills. At a round table during the G-7 conference in Quebec that year, Trump squeezed in between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, chitchatting. Before the assembled press pool was shooed out, Mills caught Trump’s eye and, turning to Trudeau, crowed: “He’s the No. 1 photographer in the world,” adding, “Unfortunately, he works for the New York Times.” Trudeau and Merkel chuckled.

Or the opposite, he was hoping to catch a weird facial expression of Trump, as these shots are the ones leftist media usually publish. 😁
Unlikely, trump loves his photos.
Are you saying Trump has said he likes the photos from this photographer?
Yes.
