Dutch model is American miner on Trump jobs campaign poster

July 22, 2016

trump and minerThe miner shown on one of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign posters is actually a Dutch model, website Buzzfeed has pointed out.

The poster, with the text ‘a working America is a winning America, features Trump in a baseball hat alongside a tough looking miner.

However, far from being an American worker the miner is a Dutch model named Jan Jonkhout who was photographed by Haarlem photographer Ysbrand Cosijn.

The photo is one of a series featuring Jonkhout and available via stock photo agency Shutterstock.
