I don't care what he looks like, he is a threat to Democracy and the whole world, he is a child rapist, he is a cunt. Given his history, he should never have been POTUS even in 2016, and yet over 70 millions of American elected him and made him possible. Now we all live in a nightmare.
I think he's too old to get a boner, and his heart would not stand viagra either, so gotta pray the Blood Clot... or a Securtiy Agent accidentally pulling the trigger.
This doesn't look that much different. Looks more blurry. On the posted one they overdid it a little bit with the detail sharpening, but otherwise they are the same picture afaik
I overlayed them. It really looks like they upped the brightness contrast and sharpness on a bit. But I don't see any obvious edits outside of that personally but more brains is better so here is 0% 50% and 100% (All PNG to preserve transparency values) /a/yoQGgoM
Ah but you do. Blender, KDEN, Da Vinci, GIMP, etc depending on how you want to do it there is a bunch of free or trial things you can use with varying levels of complexity and results.
This one has the exact same *everything* structure as the Getty photo, making theirs the "real" one. Getty's has an unnecessary and extremely heavy Sharpening filter, making everything not baby-smooth stand out more.
Thanks. I had my doubts about the authenticity of both. People can't just let reality tell it like it is anymore. It's stupid. He's a fucking moron and looks half-dead. No need to embellish either point with touched up photos or faked social media posts.
Right. At this point I even have my doubts that the left one supposedly from the White House is even legit, or if someone just obviously badly shopped that one to make them look dumb.
So much fucking this! The trend to over exaggerate is sickening. Everything must be cranked up to eleven. That orange shitnado is already ugly as hell - no need to alter it further and wreck your credibility.
100% this. I hate it when people exaggerate Trump’s failures or attribute problems that weren’t actually his fault. Not because I like Trump - IMO he will forever be a shit stain in the annals of human history and I hope his fall is epic - but because it allows his supporters to make the “you’re just making things up because you hate him” argument vs. the very real evil shit he’s actually responsible for.
STOP IT, PEOPLE. I am sure you mean well, but you are not helping. Stick to the facts.
Remember the photo we saw of the previous head of DHS? Where it looked like she had a lot of craters on her face? Same phenomenon in effect here - photos are being overprocessed on purpose to make them look more horrible than the originals are.
I put this up on the main comment too but you might be right... but barely. It looks like this only took some tweaks to brightness, contrast, and sharpness and just made the flaws a bit more noticeable /a/yoQGgoM
Old people also don't heal as well, especially not like wolverine or deadpool to the point where there's no evidence of a fucking bullet tearing a chunk of ear off his head.
Not necessarily. Earlobes are unique in their structure, so they don't experience hydrostatic shock like the rest of the human body does. A one-in-a-million shot that barely grazes the ear could potentially cause superficial surface damage without entirely destroying the cartilage underneath.
Additionally, I think it was a real bullet because he touches his ear before he's tackled and his hand comes away with blood. There's no other proven source of blood other than his ear and no other proven mechanism of injury other than a bullet.
The most parsimonious explanation that fits the evidence is a nick from a bullet.
Not really. More evidence shows that it was staged. Lowering the flag and known coward who hid in a bunker because of an unarmed mob who is merely protesting stands up, despite security being there and yelling "fight", while the camera crew gets in position and the shooter isn't yet accounted for? Bullshit. That caliber wouldn't have made a small cut. It would have torn a hole in it.
That would be more believable, but the cowards reaction after being shot at was to post with a fist raised in front of a lowered flag? Bunkerbitch hid from unarmed protestors who weren't even breaching the white house gates. It reeks of being staged. He is definitely the narcissist that would kill his own base to make himself look good. See also: Covid

This is a little photoshop.
lonelyrangerofthedreams
The problem here is that we compare the heavy retouched photo on the left with the simple exaggeration of lights and shadows contrast.
On the right is “to bend reality for propaganda purposes”
On the left is “to openly create a different reality (a blatant lie) for the same propaganda purposes”

They added this to the original picture :

None of the three include an ear scar!
CaptainScarfish
Old people tend to scar less.
https://www.dermatologytimes.com/view/being-older-helps-skin-heal-less-scarring
Even a small amount of damage in the highly vascular ear can cause a lot of bleeding.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Old people also don't heal as well, especially not like wolverine or deadpool to the point where there's no evidence of a fucking bullet tearing a chunk of ear off his head.
CaptainScarfish
Is it not possible for the bullet to have nicked his ear in such a way that it only caused superficial surface damage?
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
No. Not with the amount of "blood" present after he grabs his ear and considering his age and poor health.
WarlockSniper
Thing is, that caliber wouldn't cause a small cut. It would cause the ear tearing off.
CaptainScarfish
Not necessarily. Earlobes are unique in their structure, so they don't experience hydrostatic shock like the rest of the human body does. A one-in-a-million shot that barely grazes the ear could potentially cause superficial surface damage without entirely destroying the cartilage underneath.
CaptainScarfish
Additionally, I think it was a real bullet because he touches his ear before he's tackled and his hand comes away with blood. There's no other proven source of blood other than his ear and no other proven mechanism of injury other than a bullet.
The most parsimonious explanation that fits the evidence is a nick from a bullet.
WarlockSniper
Not really. More evidence shows that it was staged. Lowering the flag and known coward who hid in a bunker because of an unarmed mob who is merely protesting stands up, despite security being there and yelling "fight", while the camera crew gets in position and the shooter isn't yet accounted for?
Bullshit. That caliber wouldn't have made a small cut. It would have torn a hole in it.
Fentex
If he was really cut, it may have been a piece of perspex from the broken tele-prompter the bullet repotedly shattered first.
CaptainScarfish
That's a pretty bold claim given that there's no evidence of a destroyed teleprompter or piece of glass.
WarlockSniper
That would be more believable, but the cowards reaction after being shot at was to post with a fist raised in front of a lowered flag?
Bunkerbitch hid from unarmed protestors who weren't even breaching the white house gates. It reeks of being staged. He is definitely the narcissist that would kill his own base to make himself look good.
