Pete Souze disabled his account because of comments by the MAGA crowd.
“I re-posted a screenshot of New York Times photographer Doug Mills’ Twitter post of the same situation of Trump boarding his plane, which included the date and time of his photo. Doug is one of Trump’s favorite photographers and Trump has publicly called him ‘my genius photographer.’ So I thought the maga world would at least believe Doug Mills.”
“They didn’t. The comments turned ugly. Mostly about me, but also some that disparaged Doug Mills,” Souza continues.
“So I de-activated my Twitter account. It was a gut decision, made only by me. I am still not sure if this is a temporary or a permanent action,” Souza continues.
Couldn’t the image have simply been flipped along the vertical axis?
His hairstyle isn’t symmetrical though. It has a side-part on the opposite side of his injured ear. So unless he suddenly decided to change the part of his hair (which, when you consider how involved it actually is because it’s a massive combover) it’s unlikely to be a flipped image.
In short: Because we can’t see his hair part in this image, we know it’s likely not flipped.
It could have, yes. Would an AP photographer and or Pete Souza do that? Very highly unlikely. He also combs his hair that way.
You could also ask,
Couldn’t the picture have simply been made with ai?
The answer to both questions is the same.
Same vibe
Prosthetic makeup is a thing. In that photo, he does not look like he was painted with an orange marker by a three-year-old. The news here is that he got a new makeup team.
I am even more convinced now than ever that the conspiracy theory I have been trying to start is true, they are covering up that he was shot in one ear and it went out the other without doing any damage whatsoever.
If you don’t hear from me in 24 hours, they got to me, man, the MIB got to me
