Trump Campaign Running Photo Ads Edited To Make Joe Biden Appear Older

.

President Donald Trump’s campaign launched a series of Facebook ads on Thursday featuring a manipulated photo of his presidential opponent Joe Biden edited to make the former vice president appear older.

The ads, which label Biden “Sleepy Joe,” show him gazing out against a dark background with his mouth slightly agape. The Trump campaign is also running near-identical Facebook ads featuring the same text along with the original, unedited photo of Biden, in which his skin looks much brighter and healthier.

It’s among the latest examples of Trump officials circulating imagery that has been deceptively altered or pulled out of context to attack Biden.

This is the shit National Enquirer does. Even if they don't sell a copy to a person, they pay for product placement in the cash register isles, so people waiting to buy food or stuff sees the cover images and topic. Subliminally, it affects people's perceptions--and they know it.

Joe is also very fit for a man his age, and certainly more fit than Trump!
