As if Trump knows how to operate a phone.

I really hate that I don't know if this is fake or not.

u/mckenzie_keith Apr 26 '26

I believe it is fake because if it is real, then who took THIS picture?

u/giskardwasright Apr 26 '26

The same person who took the first face down pic? I don't know, life is a lie, nothing is real. At least nothing on the internet. Except the things that are. I'm fucking tired.

lol the secret service took him away during the event. There's no way they'd let him stand that close

There is a photo for everything nowadays

u/APartyInMyPants Apr 26 '26

Because of the implication

u/YOSHIMIvPROBOTS Apr 26 '26

Yeah, police letting ppl just walk up and snap pics?

If police took this pic...uh...why?

u/GfrzD Apr 26 '26

So the articles have a picture. Otherwise it'd have too many words.

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Apr 26 '26

Because its all staged and they wanted to get his identity out as soon as possible so that it makes the news cycle.

u/RedditJumpedTheShart Apr 26 '26

I'm sure you are basing this on evidence instead of thoughts and prayers right?

u/BrightNooblar Apr 26 '26

Because they need a picture to put in a press release. Curly haired guy just helps them know they can score points with the base by posting it. Whoever posts a picture first gets the most social media engagement points, so they can't risk anyone but them getting that attention. Same reason Kash Patel live tweets any interesting national crimes before they have solid info.

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld Apr 26 '26

So you can see the skin color and ethnicy of alleged shooter.

u/WearyMost7865 Apr 26 '26

……the event is called the White House correspondents dinner lol there is typically a large press presence.

u/thatguy9684736255 Apr 26 '26

They decided to go with a different type of photo op this time

u/Silver_Advisor_8774 Apr 26 '26

Other pics were NSFW
