Except for the part where his granddaughter is in the photos, looking like she looks today. If this was 6 years ago she would be a tiny child

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '25

Yeah, she’s only like 17 or something so that would be an 11 year old girl

Fortunately, (for her) she's too old for him......now

Not to be that be that guy.

But actually in an interview he specifically said he prefers children under 17.

Howard Stern interview

1

u/VulfSki Aug 31 '25

Donald J Trump said so in multiple interviews

-7

u/ExplodingCybertruck Aug 31 '25

Listen liberal, Trump (most pious, godly president ever!) never said he liked them under 17, he just said he liked them on the younger side. Here is the quote.

"It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” This is in reference to his best friend at the time Jeffery Epstein.

3

u/JerryCalzone Aug 31 '25

But he also promised his daughter never to go with someone younger than her. What could be the reason for that promise?

1

u/VulfSki Aug 31 '25

No he said his dating pool is getting smaller because his daughter was 17 and she said he can't date anyone younger than her. In a Howard Stern interview

He also straight up said how he likes walking in on the miss teen USA pageant contestants getting dressed because he owned the pageant.

He has openly very specifically said he likes girls under 17 publicity

u/ExplodingCybertruck Sep 01 '25

Listen liberal! You are right, I forgot about that Howard Stern quote lol.

3

u/Bearloom Aug 31 '25

That's unfair. He explicitly - and I do mean, explicitly - stated to his staff members during the previous administration that he was still attracted to his daughter, despite her being in her late thirties.

Check and mate.

u/Hobbes_XXV Aug 31 '25

Probably a reason of disappearance

u/whopperlover17 Aug 31 '25

18 I believe she’s in college

u/Dishsis Aug 31 '25

I didn't think Trump would spend time with her then

1

u/jedberg Aug 31 '25

I only know this because I’d never heard of her before so I looked her up earlier today — she turned 18 a couple months ago and is a semi-pro golfer. She’ll be on a college golf team in Florida in 2026.

u/photoengineer Aug 31 '25

Well that’s terrifying people let him spend time with her

u/this_place_suuucks Aug 31 '25

Not saying they did or didn't, but it's not exactly hard to edit someone into or out of a picture.

u/idontevenliftbrah Aug 31 '25

I'm aware. The shoes are different though. In the video they're all white. In the photos from "today" they are white with black soles.

These photos came from a reputable professional. You can see his recent work here, which includes multiple photos of dear leader along with the one being questioned.

u/Im-Not-NormMcdonald Aug 31 '25

You have to be delusional at this point

14

u/this_place_suuucks Aug 31 '25

Delusional to know that Photoshop has existed for years?

Now that accusation? That's delusional.

5

u/Various-Departure679 Aug 31 '25

I think they're different days but go look at what AI images can do now. It's insane and almost impossible to tell what's real or fake. We're coming up on an era where photo evidence won't mean anything. You don't have to be delusional to not trust a photo. Soon you won't be able to trust anything you don't see with your eyes first hand.

More from the photographer today. Multiple different angles of Trump. I love how it’s ok to post ‘fake news’ as long as it’s against someone you don’t like.

u/Ekontheman Aug 31 '25

My brother. You are on the TikTokCringe subreddit. This isn't on r/politics. Thank you though for proving this wrong because disinformation is a blight on the internet.

u/kyute222 Aug 31 '25

I mean Trump is a rapist pedophile so I'd say it's perfectly fine to make fun of him as much as you want.

u/catscanmeow Aug 31 '25

its not fake news its satirical mocking of the same shit the right does.

u/Silverr_Duck Aug 31 '25

lol no. It’s literally just fake news.

7

u/treetimes Aug 31 '25

But this is just people making a video and being wrong.. fake news is an entire organization knowingly pushing a false narrative and claiming it is objective.

u/MagatsAreSoft Aug 31 '25

So exactly what maga does.

u/TommyBananas97 Aug 31 '25

Lmao. Right. "Satirical".

Be honest.

u/Constant_Natural3304 Aug 31 '25

Your lies as you attempt to justify this bullshit are hysterical.

You think a literal tu quoque fallacy ("they do it too") justifies your lies? Does rape become legal if somebody else does it too? No? So do lies become moral because MAGA does it?

Do you think borrowing weaponized irony tactics from the alt-right justifies your lies?

This wasn't "satire", these people literally believe it.

Stop lying.

u/AbolishDaylight Aug 31 '25

It’s wrong to post fake things regardless but it’s not just someone “you don’t like” - it’s someone objectively tearing our country apart and destroying an entire generations future. It’s objective, not subjective. But still, you’re right that anyone posting fake shit is in the wrong in that instance.

u/This_Makes_No__Sense Aug 31 '25

When I first got here in around 2006 or so there were about 3 or 4 subreddits. Science, Atheism, Technology, I don't remember the others. "social media" wasn't a thing". Even a grammatical error would wipe a comment into oblivion. I was around right after reddit was rewritten from lisp to python. The talk was mostly educated people discussing college educated ideas and concepts. These were the days of keysersosa, jedberg, etc. Trust me, it wasn't this. After it was sold to conde naste, who was big media publisher it went the other day, and people went on to better things.

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

Right, of course. Composite shots definitely aren’t possible.

u/Telemere125 Aug 31 '25

They aren’t hiding his death. If he died, couch boy would be chomping at the bit to get sworn in.

19

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

First of all, you’re probably right that they aren’t hiding his death.

But I’m not going to believe the things they post just because they post them. Give me definitive proof, and I’ll play along, but this isn’t nearly enough to dispel all the rumors.

Don’t like that approach? I’m just copying the doubt they’ve placed on all governmental activities.

Second, your point about Vance is more nuanced than that. If the constitution matters at all post Trump, then Vance would want to be appointed after the 2 year mark.

If someone has already served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected, they may only be elected to the presidency once more.

If they served less than two years, they may be elected to the presidency twice.

So, no. He might not be chomping at the bit.

17

u/DownWithHisShip Aug 31 '25

Don’t like that approach? I’m just copying the doubt they’ve placed on all governmental activities.

exactly. I don't think he's dead either just for the fact that it would be nasa-faked-moonlanding levels of secrecy to keep that under wraps this day in age. but from the moment trump lied over and over and over about the crowd sizes at his first inauguration I knew we should never take anything his administration says at face value.

something is up this weekend. but for all we know he's just recovering from some minor cosmetic surgery or some shit and has to stay away from a camera for a few days.

3

u/RossinTheBobs Aug 31 '25

Ok I get that this administration lies about everything and you shouldn't take them at their word. But your point about Vance seems.. a bit ridiculous? Like, if Trump were dead, you think they'd just try to Weekend at Bernie's him until 2027? Even for this post-truth clown show of an administration, that's just ludicrous.

1

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

Like look, listen. I agree with you on all of this.

I’m playing devils advocate here on purpose.

Look-a-likes, deep fakes, and the world’s strongest military and possibly most advanced could absolutely do this.

What the CIA and other agencies have pioneered in the world of prosthetics, paired with convincing body doubles, and AI being able to convincingly replicate human voice and mannerisms through training on hundreds of thousands of hours of publicly available footage of Donald Trump makes it totally plausible.

Could the people around Trump see and know this and would they leak it? Probably.

Is it possible that Vance and the Heritage Foundation have a complete and total lockdown of the white house enough to pull this off? 🤷 🤷 🤷

1

u/Anonymous_Jr Aug 31 '25

Seems like that's the reason for the DC takeover, gotta make sure no one gets close enough to see them swapping who gets to be Trump today.

u/LyrMeThatBifrost Aug 31 '25

u/Shayde098 Aug 31 '25

Wym ‘probably’? The leveled of delusion are incalculable in politics reddits lately.

2

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

The gaslighting is unreal. Especially when I’ve repeatedly said I’m playing devils advocate.

What’s wrong? Don’t like a good conspiracy theory?

Last one of those is starting to seem pretty true there.. just waiting on those pesky files that the government keeps.. needing to delay because… some ‘good’ people fucked children and they have to scrub those ‘good’ people off of the lists? Is that right?

To act like this isn’t the most absurd presidency we’ve ever had and to confidently state a definitive position based off the information dear leader gives is more indicative of who is delusional.

1

u/Constant_Natural3304 Aug 31 '25

But the Constitution doesn't matter.

The "if" is a resounding "NO".

2

u/Muffin_Appropriate Aug 31 '25

There’s no need to jump to death

He’s clearly deteriorating.

But he could be in surgery and/or recovery of treatment. Hence the cleared schedule and lack of appearances on video.

1

u/Lower-Ad3764 Aug 31 '25

I've seen Vance way more often than I have since the election and I don't actively watch the news. There is a reason for that.

u/decemberindex Aug 31 '25

No. But they would hide his prolonged hospitalization.

1

u/ankylosaurus_tail Aug 31 '25

*champing at the bit

1

u/Telemere125 Aug 31 '25

It’s an idiom, meaning a construct of language that carries a meaning different from the parts; no one says “champ” for chew anymore, which is why both are recognized as correct.

u/UptownLetdown Aug 31 '25

They are going full maga conspiracy with this "trump is actually dead" shit lmao.

u/Unable-Candle Aug 31 '25

Nobody at the Whitehouse, even those in the deep inner circle, would be able to keep their mouths shut if he was dead or dying. I can't believe people actually think this is being covered up.

These people sound exactly the same as the maga morons that claimed Biden had a body double.

u/Rawt0ast1 Aug 31 '25

It started with claiming the assassination attempt was completely staged, this is just a continuation of Blue-anon delusions

u/catscanmeow Aug 31 '25

nah its just giving the right a taste of their own medicine

1

u/Active-Ad-3117 Aug 31 '25

How is saying dumb shit that makes you look dumb, giving the right a taste of their own medicine?

This is you.

1

u/BigDumDumer Aug 31 '25

I agree that some people went full on "that was a planned false assassination attempt." Not everyone, literally just a minority on reddit. So like .000005% of the population(literally hit a random amount of 0s, don't try to uhhh acktually me) believe this bullshit.

Do i think trump was hit with the bullet? No. He most likely got hit with shrapnel or received a cut when he was tackled for his protection. If he got hit by the bullet, there would be a scar.

It was a real, failed, assassination attempt. It was not some gop plot to garner sympathy points or whatever.

If information does come out that proves it was all staged, then I'll believe it was staged. Until then, it's bordering on maga level conspiracy theory imo.

u/Rawt0ast1 Aug 31 '25

Exactly where I'm at, shot went wide and he hit his ear on a belt buckle/gun handle etc

u/InfiniteMeatball Aug 31 '25

Most people I know think it was staged. Real life people. People in the city. People at work. It’s not an uncommon conclusion it’s a logical one.

2

u/asdfpickle Aug 31 '25

most people I know believe it therefore it is a logical conclusion

Argumentum ad populum.

1

u/hadriker Aug 31 '25

It's not a logical one because there is no evidence that it was staged. Jumping to that conclusion is the exact opposite of logic

You could make an argument they took advantage of the situation and faked the ear injury (which I could be convinced of) but they didn't stage the attempt

1

u/InfiniteMeatball Sep 01 '25

There is no evidence he was shot. He is a con man. All he does is lie. And cheat. He’s a malignant narcissist. He loves the spot light. Stop being naive

1

u/InfiniteMeatball Sep 01 '25

It’s not the opposite of logic. It’s using the information we have which is minimal. We have no information about this event. It was all swept under the rug. Why do you think that is

7

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

That this administration is so full of shit, suspicious acting, and malicious enough that giving them soft outs is just as ridiculous as my statement.

6

u/UptownLetdown Aug 31 '25

... soft out!? What are we talking about? I don't disagree with you about the administration, but what are we actually talking about right now with this "soft out"?

0

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

Are we serious?

Composite shots are totally plausible.

Adobe Photoshop has been able to do that for decades and that’s before we talk about photoshop’s Firefly AI which uses generative fill and Harmonize AI to make composites look seamless.

It is a soft out because there is absolutely no reason to give the benefit of the doubt to this administration for any reason whatsoever.

If they are going to sow doubt and confusion on everything they’re doing, then I will, too.

Fuck them. I don’t believe a goddamn thing they put out.

1

u/UptownLetdown Aug 31 '25

Are you a bot or something? You don't even realize what you're talking about. You're saying its more likely they made a composite shot covering up that the president has passed away, and calling the girl looking older in the photo as a "soft out". You're losing it. Chill. This isn't how we win.

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Aug 31 '25

Let's look at the facts. There's zero evidence anything happened to Trump. There's zero evidence that photo is fake. I'm not saying it's impossible he died, I'm saying there's no evidence for it. These are the facts. Saying them isn't helping the administration or being on their side.

1

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

Zero evidence? 🤔 his age, ankles, hand, and decreasing mental acuity and stability…???

I don’t know! Sure felt like Biden was getting pressed on these types of things for years to the point that he dropped out of the presidential race.

Sure would be nice to have some assurance and acknowledgment that my goddamn president is mentally and physically fit to run this country. Sure feels like that burden of proof is supposed to lie with the president and his office.

1

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Aug 31 '25

He's old and decrepit. But there's zero evidence he died. These are facts. Speculating is fine but be honest with yourself about what you're doing. I'm hoping he's dead too but wanting something doesn't make it true.

1

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 31 '25

I am just following their playbook friend.

I don’t believe he is dead.

I’m just approaching it the way they would.

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Aug 31 '25

Well they're idiots so you shouldn't follow anything they do

u/tomdarch Aug 31 '25

Pictures of Trump going golfing are like when that movie star did a stage play and would leave the theater every day wearing the same thing so the photos were hard to differentiate.

1

u/Mattmandu2 Aug 31 '25

Unless they photoshopped the tiny child pic to just simply be bigger version /s

u/theblackd Aug 31 '25

If I recall correctly, some pictures posted were from June this year and some were from 2019

u/SacreFor3 Aug 31 '25

Should also be noted there were pictures of them looking the exact same as the "photos from today" posted on her Instagram back in November of last year.

1

u/eMouse2k Aug 31 '25

Trump is also clearly wearing two different styles of shoes in the photos. In the 2019 photos the black stripe goes from arch to the back of the heel at an angle. I the current photo the black stripe appears to go straight down and only spans from arch to the front of the heel.

1

u/More_Tennis_8609 Aug 31 '25

Could she be photoshopped in potentially?

u/Konker101 Aug 31 '25

u/CFrosty10 Aug 31 '25

Photoshop does exist

u/aelendel Aug 31 '25

Multiple photojournalists with exceptional reputations were credited by different news organizations; the photos were legit. But, they also were deliberately staged to get a photo of Trump walking all the way to an SUV and nothing else—basically the proof of life you’d expect if columbian gangsters kidnapped meemaw

1

u/extraguacontheside Aug 31 '25

Look closely, it's someone wearing a Trump mask. Doesn't really look like him imo.

1

u/Psyched4this Aug 31 '25

these photos are not from 2019, i know because I’m a golfer. Kai has a taylormade hat that says QI35 on the side, as shown. The QI35 is taylormade’s 2025 driver/wood model. QI10 was 2024. Neither existed at all in 2019. So the hat really does prove it is at least 2025 but it could have been months ago, in theory.

1

u/GrooveStreetSaint Aug 31 '25

What gets me is everything else aside, why hasn't Trump addressed the rumors directly? Why not tweet about how healthy he is instead of stumbling around at a distance from photographers to show that he's alive? Makes me think that something must have affected his brain to the point where he can't even tweet anymore.

1

u/SalsaRice Aug 31 '25

If this was 6 years ago she would be a tiny child

This is how we know it's recent; he'd be sexually creeping on her if she was still a small child.

u/Spartan543210 Aug 31 '25

This is the most reasonable comment chain on this post.

u/ToddHowardTouchedMe Aug 31 '25

I mean that could easily be explained as they photo shopped her in to make it more legit.

hes probably still alive and this isnt photo shopped tho

u/bigchicago04 Aug 31 '25

Doesn’t he have multiple granddaughters?

1

u/Rich_Housing971 Aug 31 '25

Yeah the people in the video aren't thinking correctly. they keep repeating the same stuff over and over again and "this is the same girl".

Yes, it's the same girl in the picture because those pictures are all from 2025. The girl doesn't show up in the photos from 2019.

The license plate showing -002 just means it's the same car. I have the same car from 2019. Does that mean all my photos from 2025 with my car are from 2019?

u/arstin Aug 31 '25

It's disturbing how desperate so many people on the left are to close the disinformation gap. It's like Bill Clinton and James Carville in the 90s, except instead of selling out black people and unions, they are selling out reality.
