10. Wow! No forehead and 3 chins...a rarely seen angle.

11. I checked the properties of the photo-

It said
created 3/24/2020
modified 3/24/2020

My question: what does that mean? Is it photoshopped?
A friend of mine, a trump fan (who doesn't vote) thinks it is fake.

Tell your Trump loving friend to goolge the image.

14. "Modified" covers a lot of mundane stuff.

Resized, cropped, re-saved as a different file type (e.g., a .png original re-saved as .jpg) or with different file compression, etc. Any of those will populate the "modified" date. My bet here would be adding compression to reduce file size, with minor cropping running for #2.

There's no reason to assume right off the bat that it's been edited or manipulated misleadingly. If he insists on it, tell him to dig up the "clean" version.

15. It's certainly edited

This is the line of the collar below his ear. You can see how the original image was reduced in opacity then painted over not very successfully.

16. And, OMG ! Look at his ear.

17. Appears to be an original

18. Hey cane... thanks for the three answers. I think I learned something.

[denem]

19. Except canetoad is not correct.

Here is a closeup of the original from Vanity Fair,

He is mistaking the artifacts of heavy jpg compression for retouching.

[sop]

20. Yeah, I don't see any manipulation of the original image to make Trump look worse.

It's not like one of those fashion industry photoshop makeovers. Trump's fleshy jowls, his lack of any forehead and that preposterous hair nave not been exaggerated, he's still an ugly, stupid POS.

13. Cuomo.....

doesn't even need a binder.
