    He must be so pissed off we are all laughing and joking about his death. I for one hope he is still alive just to see us revel with glee at the idea of his passing. He deserves it soooo much!

    Posts on Reddit saying those were photos from a few years ago. Did they just use stock photos or is the child rapist in a fridge somewhere?

      The photos are current, as far as I can tell - there’s many different outlets reporting on this and that all have similar photos, especially with the age of his grandchild who is also in the photos. He’s not dead, damn it all.

    This is unfortunate news. Though I’ve read that the black hand can be a sign of heart failure.

      Dropping dead of organ failure is the single patriotic duty he could ever perform in his life. Bone spurs won’t save the bastard this time.

    It was wonderful to see america regain their hope, even if only for a few short days.

    Its one clip and it keeps surfacing. Its an old clip. Keep holding onto that 10 seconds of video footage MAGA… thats all you got left.

      Let’s hope so. He is the oldest president ever elected, so there’s a solid chance.

      You’re right they used a cropped old photo, but are you saying he can’t wear the same outfit or ride in the same vehicle he did a few years ago? He’s old and probably a creature of habit, he might have superstition around clothes in sports and the cars may be part of his usually fleet.

      I get what you’re saying, but it sounds a little conspiratorial to me.

        Such a confusing take. You start by saying they used old photo, which is my point, as they are claiming this photo is proof of life, since he hadn’t been seen in three days.

        Then you insinuate I am saying it’s not possible for him to wear the same clothes or ride in the same car as 6 years ago.

        Sure it’s possible that this is all coincidence and yep he’s got the same SUV and the same clothes and the photographer had to stand at the same location.

        I just think the probability is lower that this is proof that Trump is prancing around golf courses kicking balls closer to holes. Just seems a little odd.

        Like the probability that someone gets grazed by a bullet and the wound magically disappeared or that politicians create fake files planting the presidents name in them for 30 years. Sure, could happen…

        My point is something’s fucky with this whole thing.

          I’m saying that you posted two articles as proof while calling out the article linked here that had a cropped photo of something that happened in the older article you linked.

          I am pointing out that this photo:

          And this photo/video:

          …are different. Similar, yes, but different. The second is what was cropped for the originally linked article.

          I don’t understand what is fucky about the media choosing photos they want for whatever clicks or emotions they want to evoke. This is how it always works.

            Imagine if you will a scenario in which a photographer, taking more than one picture of an event in time. And then stretch that imagination a little further that said photographer could release some photos in 2019 and then other photos from the same event 6 years later. Then imagine, just for shits and giggles, that a president has a team of people who are managing public perception.

            Just so we’re clear my point is it’s weird, not proof of anything, just really fuckin weird considering this guy’s history.

              I understand what you’re saying, but I just don’t think it’s that weird.

              The photo in the original says “White House Press Pool” attribution underneath it. I think they just chose a photo without thinking much about it because that’s what the White House released. 🤷‍♂️

            To be fair, the proportions on the Suburban with the plate ending on 002 are weirdly different. Look at the distance between the recess where the plate goes and the tail light. There’s also some weirdness with the top of he hatch. It could be something to do with the angle (or a different model of Suburban), but it could also easily be an image generator’s shitty job of trying to maintain a source image and losing the proportions.

            Obviously that’s not any kind of certainty, but I’d be interested to see the source video that the more recent image was taken from.

            Actually, there’s a lot of weirdness with this image. Where’s the Suburban’s tailpipe? Why is the “Suburban” text in the second SUV straight-on rather than at an angle? Did the stairs move? What’s going on with the lady in front with knees at two different heights? Why does the guy next to her look like he intentionally twisted up his pant legs as much as possible? Whose head is that poking up from behind it looking like they’re standing behind an object with no depth whatsoever? What’s with the inverted and blurred reflection of the guy standing behind the first SUV in the same pose as the first image? Why does the guy standing next to Trump have his hand cupped behind his back like he’s doing sleight of hand? Why is the Chevy logo on the front car smaller and not centered over the license plate?

            Maybe it’s just a case of looking at an image for AI generation markers and finding a bunch of things that are actually more normal than they seem, but it certainly does make me wonder.
