To think at least one of these pictures of Trump has been photoshopped?

Katie Zacharia who was the Press Secretary who recently left her job posted 2 images on X

Image 1 - she is posing with Trump
Image 2 - her family is posing with Trump

Trump is holding a very similar pose in both pictures, It can't be photoshopped but it sure as hell looks like it

Thank you, President Trump, for hosting my family and me in the Oval Office and for the generous gifts you gave my children on my son’s birthday. It was an unforgettable honor.

Oh goodness that horrible false smile on Trumps face is enough to give me nightmares!
Both pictures look totally unreal to me!

They both look fake. Both his and her faces/head positions are completely identical in both. There are some added blurry things on the books at the front in the solo one which says to me added later.

There's a map on the pile of books which has been blurred on one photo and edited out on the other (leaving blurry remains).

Chat GPT says they are different. I guess Trump just has his happy face

You’re noticing a real similarity: his pose is very close in both photos, but it doesn’t look exactly identical.

  • In both, he leans forward with his forearms on the desk, hands overlapping, and a broad smile.
  • His fingers overlap slightly differently, and the angles of his head, shoulders, and jacket lapels appear to change.
  • The camera framing also changes: the chair, flags, statue, and desk objects shift relative to one another.
That’s consistent with someone holding a familiar pose while people rearrange for another photo. The similarity alone isn’t strong evidence that he was copied into either image. These displayed copies can’t establish whether any editing occurred, but there’s nothing unreasonable about noticing how alike the poses are

I think it knows MN language Grin
