Just in case it’s not obvious, this was an edited, color-saturated version that someone had attempted to pass off as the real, unedited thing. In a world of lies, I just wanted to make sure people are aware. We’ve got so much of this going on today, I’m hoping at some point people start holding themselves to a higher standard; even on shitposts.
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 desaturatedwith 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?
you mean I can’t use photos edited for humor on c/PoliticalMemes ?
No, by all means - use edited photos. I’m just pointing out that this is close enough to reality, that it could be mistaken for a real picture.
If you had painted a white oompa-loompa suit, and green hair on him, I wouldn’t have felt the need to point the picture out, or maybe even saturated the picture EVEN MORE, but it’s getting to the point where you cannot trust anything anywhere, and there’s no longer any real sources of ground-truth.
Thank you. I’m sick of people bullshitting, regardless of what side they’re on.
It’s everything everywhere
Is the writing on trump’s notes real because it feels a little weird
I think he writes that shit knowing the cameras will be there.
The unedited photo looks fake, there was no need to edit. I’m not saying the photographer pulled some shit. I’m saying trump’s a fucking clown, makeup and all.
Even if he gets found guilty (which I don’t particularly expect), this crime almost never carries prison time in ny.
Falsifying business transactions is most definitely going to be a fine, but a convicted felon running for office might make people think twice.

I love the optimism; even after a strong trend has been established, too. Kudos.
I appreciate your optimism.
He doesn’t even deserve to try the portal gun, come on!
Guys notes look like something a Sov Cit has. Fucking nuts.
And yet a conservative judge is going to let him go with no repercussions.
