It’s also a particularly unflattering image of him in general. And that’s even considering that no accurate image of him is flattering, but that’s especially bad.
His face looks tiny inside a giant, balloon-like head, and his pants are practically up to his armpits. It looks like something designed to insult him.
I agree that the image of Trump upthread next to Gandhi, JFK and Jared Leto-Jesus isn’t at all flattering to him; he appears to have no chin and he looks fatter than normal.
In Sherrerd’s defense, other than being a not very flattering depiction of trump, it’s not at all hard to believe it’s real. It’s downright tame compared to a lot of other AI slop that trump did post.
Plus the one with Gandhi and Jared Leto was posted in response to a post Donald DID genuinely post, with him on the White House lawn with JFK.
So the one with Gandhi & ‘Jesus’ is not an out-of-the-blue fake, but instead a response to a very similar “look at me with a Great Man at the White House” AI-image that Donald really did post to his account.
(All this is per the Snopes page Atamasama posted.)
The real Donald post:
Granted, he does look better in the real one. But though I regret having believed that the “plus Gandhi and ‘Jesus’” one was real…the reality isn’t that far off.
Anything is possible with AI. But I doubt that Donald would find that scenario to be glorious enough for him to want to post. (And I’d be seriously amazed if Donald ever heard of Warren Zevon, much less one of his songs.)
@LSLGuy —good point about the relative heights: so very Donald to promote that fakery.
Prince William is 6’3". Trump seems a bit shorter than 6’ in that photo, and he might be as short as 5’9" without lifts (assuming he wears lifts as is rumored). I don’t think he’s shorter than 5’9" though.
The NYT ran an article yesterday that profiled a volunteer tour guide at the Kennedy Center. She has been continuing to do her job despite the fact that the center is no longer operating after Trump’s snit shut it down. Still, she has been guiding small groups and even individuals since the shutdown to continue the tradition.
So Trump, ever the asshole, has now shut down all tours in response to the article. No pettiness is beneath him, it would seem, and he has also been bad-mouthing JFK in recent days.
Yes. That’s not just “lifts,” it’s also “platform shoes,” I think. (Lifts being appliances that go inside the shoes, and platform shoes being constructed with unusually-thick soles.)
Bottom line: either Donald insisted on being made to look taller than JFK in the image (from a few posts up), or the maker of the image knew what would please him.
Did you ever play a game with a small child where you let them win, just to make them happy? That’s what his victories at his golf tournaments are like. Everyone lets him think he won fair and square. It’s really pathetic.
