Not only that - the picture by Getty supposedly from today is from this video a month ago youtu.be/DmPz5N-qUCk?...

I’m a little iffier on that one. Getty is a pretty respected wire service. I can’t imagine they’d post photoshopped photos - like with a jacket added or whatever. Maybe the situations are remarkably similar? But there’s no way the same guy in these photos played golf with Jon Gruden today.

Getty didn’t post the image today, the White House did. The fact that’s it’s a Getty image (from a month ago) doesn’t mean the White House isn’t lying.

I mean, here’s the photographer, he works for Getty and not Trump. www.tasosphoto.com/about-1?fbcl...

Are you being purposefully dense? Let me slow it down for you. Trump goes golfing a month ago. Getty photographer takes pics. Someone takes video (broadcast at the time by ABC affiliate). Trump disappears, rumours fly. Trump White House posts ONE MONTH OLD Getty pic claiming it was taken today.

Nah, you're leaving some stuff out. I'll break it down: - The White House didn't post those photos today, Getty did. - If they are actually month old shots, someone (who?) would have had to photoshop a jacket on him. - Here are the photog's shots, the pics from today were not previously posted.

Is it still fishy? Yes, of course - Trump is posting shots from a week ago and trying to pass them off as proof of sentience. I'm just inclined to think those particular Getty pics from today are legit, despite the similarities to the old video, unless some of the questions I raised are explained.

You are correct, I missed the jacket 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still sceptical though. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but many people have been corrupted by this administration. The truth social post didn’t specifically claim the game happened today so plausible deniability there.

No, you're good! And you're right about all of that, I don't like that we're made to distrust literally everybody. Like, me saying that "someone" would have had to photoshop a jacket on isn't to say that this definitely didn't happen!

There’s no way there’s that much coincidental similarity. The guys with him also dressed exactly the same? Same camera angle? Everything.

I know, I just can’t figure out how this would have been altered on Getty’s end. They’re reputable. I guess it’s conceivable the photographer could have altered it and submitted it, but I still think Getty would vet it. Just giving you my thoughts here.

I don’t think it’s altered. It’s just an old pic being presented as today.
