The Refugee Behind Trump Junior’s Skittles

The man who photographed the bowl of skittles now-infamously used by Trump Junior is, it turns out, himself a refugee. David Kittos is now a British citizen. But as a young child, Kittos, a Greek-Cypriot, fled his country of origin to escape the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.

Kittos posted the image of skittles-in-a-bowl to the photo sharing site flickr. He told the BBC that use of his photograph “was not done with my permission, I don’t support his politics and I would never take his money to use it.”

“I would like the Trump campaign to delete the image, but they are probably not interested in what I have to say,” he told the BBC.
