The staged photos of Trump "working" with a Sharpie are taken in two different rooms but it's the ex

I also saw a tweet last night saying the time printed on the two photos were 10 minutes apart.

The staged photos of Trump "working" with a Sharpie are taken in two different rooms but it's the exact same objects on the two tables, rearranged differently.

All they do is lie and they're still so bad at it.

I’m pretty sure people would feel better with real info. An open butt gown, an IV, and the TV on.

And that includes his life in the White House. His "pResidency has consisted of playing golf, watching Fox "news" and tweeting, all of which leave no time for anything else.

Doodling with a sharpie is not considered work. He's probably signing his name so that he can admire it.

He's doing a kindergarten activity, where 6-year olds pretended to sign important papers just like grown-up office workers!

Why is the reflection in the photo in the OP so clear?

Sorry to use Mediaite as my example, but it was handy. The reflection in the table at a slightly different angle is as fuzzy as that in the photo with the wood grain cabinets in this example:

https://www.mediaite.com/donald-trump/breaking-trump-tweets-video-from-walter-reed-vows-he-will-be-back/

Compare the reflection in this video with the photo in the OP. Have you ever seen a dark brown table reflect as sharply as a mirror? Does this have something to do with the physical properties of light, angle, or some such? I'm not any kind of photographer, but that looks "off."

If it's photoshopped, then what's the reason?
