    Thank you! Pool photo by Julia Nikhinson:

    Being shared widely, specifically as real, with zero correction by commenters:

    45 is disgusting and we have to keep it honest or it discredits allegations of all his true crimes and idiocy. I am sure there was a way to superimpose something to acknowledge the orangifying edit without impeding the comedy factor… “Photoshop license sponsored by Tropicana“? IDK

      Lol, he looks like a clown in both pictures. Why do people even bother changing it slightly?

      His face is fucking orange. It’s orange. It’s not tan, it’s orange. No need to add more orange, everyone.

      I’m lost. The one originally posted in this thread looks like the pool photo but very slightly desaturated with slight adjustment of white balance, whereas the fake is clearly oversaturated.

      I don’t really care to pull this up on my desktop to confirm, but I don’t really need an answer because the rest of the photo, unaltered, is enough to marvel at. His hands show he never worked a day in his life. His poor handwriting in such big text, either meant to be seen by reporters or just for his own amusement, is telling. Who still supports this child?

        Perhaps he has poor eyesight? He strikes me as the kind of guy who thinks wearing glasses is for losers. He also strikes me as the kind of guy who bullied kids with glasses when he was in school.

        Good eye: post (slightly altered), altered version from the web, original:

        Thanks for reminding me to post a rotated image from the photographer’s account:

          Lol wtf? Are those notes to and from himself to remind him that he doesn’t think the case is legitimate? Is he that far gone?
