Haha. I signed a permission slip for one of my kids back in the day. It was returned by the school with a note saying they thought it was a forgery. It wasn’t.

I am still not convinced those images are original. The lighting and sharpness of Trump’s blazer is completely different than that of the person’s beside him. The scaling of the background looks odd. ---
