The real Mr Trump ? (media.piefed.social)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by nymnympseudonym@piefed.social to c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world
 

EDIT: Turns out it's ~~fake~~ ~~real~~ hard to tell?!
It's Bloomberg Getty Images number 2275322571
But it's "Editorial", which means not necessarily from a trusted news source.
But then again, it's not marked as AI/Synthetic, which Getty is supposed to do.

My opinion -- it's probably fake.

Apparently this image was taken down by a bunch of Western media; only Times of India still had it up when I checked

These are faked. It’s pretty obvious too. For one thing, Trump has never been as skinny as he is portrayed in the photo in the right. There’s no reason to fake stuff like this when he naturally looks abhorrent.

I'm relatively certain that the left picture is using Gene Wilder's hair

Or Boris Johnson's

Here's a higher resolution image

The source is Bloomberg Getty Images number 2275322571.

I think it's fascinating how the skin of aged humans varies so much depending on whether one takes care of their body or not. Also: This Donald John Trump was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. I'd love to read all about it but the USA government is still not releasing the Epstein files. Must be really bad. I wonder how many kids he raped that we do not already know of.

Getty Editorial which means could be anything. Getty's AI detector didn't go off so either very high quality AI or old fashioned photoshop are both real likelihoods

he already looks like shit! the worst this AI did is mess up his hair, lmao!

  • Trump: Look, I need the keys to your apartment, I gotta take a shower.

  • Xi: What's wrong with your shower?

  • Trump: There's no water pressure.

  • Xi: Why don't you just go see Kim?

  • Trump: Kim's got nothing. Vlad's got nothing. You're the only one I know who's got the good stuff, and I need it bad, baby, cause I feel like I got bugs crawling up my skin. Now you gotta help me out.

Don't you dare besmirch Captain James Hook like that. He has far more integrity.

Extra funny considering the next few moments in the film.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was wholly considered, I stand by my assessment. 😆

All previous presidents in recent times has had better hair. This guy looks like a cancer patient.

Trump doesn't have cancer, cancer has Trump.

One can only hope that any cancer this turdstain gets is most impatient.
