"I enhanced the image [of Trump]. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead?"

Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning.

I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.

Some guy with 300k followers posted an ai-hallucinated "enhanced" photo of trump with a weird forehead bump and a bunch of keyboard experts are in the comments trying to make medical diagnoses based off of it. We are so cooked.

You'd think they would notice that the American flag has been "enhanced" to remove all the stars. Good ol' stripes and stripes.

Never saw a starless American Flag before. Is it a cryptic signal to the MAGAs?

They're trying to hide something. Body double? That would be my suspicion.

It looks like somebody who kinda looks like Rump. With an emerging rinoceros horn.

(P.S. Yes, I know how to spell "rhinoceros".)

Of course, like RFK Jr., that bridge may have already been crossed.

This is from a pixelated image taken at a distance. There is no more information to be had, so AI is splitting one pixel into many and trying to interpolate what might have been there.
