9/13 Unlike an AI that fully generates images, a face editor like FaceApp is hard to programmatically detect, there are no hidden watermarks or super obvious tells. The best method is changing the contrast in photoshop to look for odd noise.

10/13 And when we boost contrast you'll notice some. Hard to see with Twitter's compression but the outline around Trump's face has pixelated noise, and so do his teeth.

Suggesting, although *not proving* touch-up. It could be lighting inconsistencies but along with the weird smile and behavior it does raise questions.

11/13 If there is nothing wrong with the president then: -Why is he not taking questions from the press? -Why are they not allowed to see him golfing like usual? -Why are we only getting controlled media releases? -Why are all press images inconsistent with what his team puts out?

12/13 We're on 7 days since he was last freely in front of the press. We'd expect a TIA or minor stroke victim to be able to walk and pose for a photo now, but perhaps still have other small tells. But be nearing the point where they could pretend nothing happened.

13/13 The press are not asking any hard questions, and its likely by mid week we'll get some simple talking from the president sitting behind the Resolute desk and they'll pretend everything is ok. The President is clearly not running the country.
