Of course it is. Nothing in his history would make anyone sane believe he'd be anywhere near active flood waters. Or even wear a safety vest on the first place.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 87 points 4 weeks ago

Trump claimed to have sent workers to Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks.

Not only didn't Trump send workers, he didn't do anything for the volunteers who did show up.

Plenty of places were offering volunteers rooms and / or food during the clean up operations. Trump's properties were locked tight.

He did take money becuase he was a 'small business' owner.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 75 points 4 weeks ago

Don't forget him bragging that he now held the tallest skyscrapers on the NYC skyline.

[-] Atom@lemmy.world 69 points 4 weeks ago

He did also claim, on 9/11 mind you, that he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Which wasn't even true.

This guy has to be exhausted for constantly coming up with the worst fucking takes, lying to boost his own ego and generally being a giant dumbass. I'm exhausted for him.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

...anyone sane...

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 49 points 4 weeks ago

They had to. It's far too dangerous for him to be near actual water. If his diaper gets too saturated it will drag him under.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 36 points 4 weeks ago

He's wearing jeans in the photo for once. I can't imagine him ever wearing jeans

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 24 points 4 weeks ago

I doubt that man even owns a pair of jeans.

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 weeks ago

That dump truck of an ass would never fit into a pair of Levi's

If it were real, that'd be an incredibly dangerous thing to do--even with a life preserver vest--and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 29 points 4 weeks ago

I mean, drowning is kind of the least of your worries in those situations.

NEVER walk through even suburban flood waters unless it is life or death. Because you know those things called "sewers"? Yeah, they are under there. And if the water has reached the point where it is even a foot off the ground? Then those sewers are entirely(-ish) full and that "water" contains significant amounts of poo, medical waste, chemicals, and so forth. Let alone corpses of animals... and people.

So that is basically liquid hepatitis and Erastil knows what else.

It is also why you NEVER buy a car that has been in a flood area and houses really should be basically demolished at that point (but aren't because Capitalism).

I find it funny how MAGAts spend all this effort creating photos of Trump looking and acting how they envision him in their heads - because he's never going to do or be any of them.

  • Naked with chiseled abs? Nope
  • Interacting with his followers? Nope
  • Wading through the floodwaters? Nope
  • Slender? Nope
  • Cradling or caring for children? Nope. Well, not released yet anyway
  • Leading a charge into battle? Nope
[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 29 points 4 weeks ago

You know what is a real photo? This one.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 25 points 4 weeks ago

You can tell it's AI because it tried to make his hands normal sized.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t think Trump has ever worn jeans.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 9 points 4 weeks ago

On the other hand, wearing jeans in water is just the sort of stupid thing he might do, like looking at the sun during an eclipse.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)
[-] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

There's nothing wrong with those hands. There's ~15-18 fingers between the two of them and the joints are totally in the right place.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 4 weeks ago

Oh gosh I looked at the hand and think I lost 2d4 sanity points.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

And the other hand is giant. Trump is well known for his giant manly hands

It’s amazing how many glitches people are able to spot. I don’t really have an eye for that level of detail but usually just get a vague unnaturallness

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

At this point they're long-standing bugs.

You don't use ad-blockers?

[-] Waldowal@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I use Android (Samsung) and I've never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

Firefox+ublock origin

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I'm on a Galaxy S-10e. Firefox + ublock origin.

Anybody have a link to the image? Article is paywalled.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 30 points 4 weeks ago
[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

Pffft. Who can't see that that's ai generated? Also how weird is it to see Trump in anything but suit or silly golf clothes? Jeans and a button up is entirely to normal for the orange man to wear.

[-] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 weeks ago

That and his weird claw right hand

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

And the other guy’s hat!

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks!

Yep where is the massive diaper?

Many thanks!

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

Ugh. Can people seriously not tell an image is llm generated at a glance? The lighting and shading is always all fucked up in a way that makes it all look fake, like toys.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago

His cult is so used to seeing fake images that they have a hard time telling reality from fiction. They have to constantly photoshop him into looking like a strong man that they've forgotten what a unfit, blob of a man he really looks like.

Don't feel left out, it's not easily found amount the ass and garbage.

If a good percentage of Americans can fall for Turnip

Yeah, no shit.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago

Love how all of the sudden, Facebook is now the expert at identifying AI pictures, despite constantly falling for them almost every time.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 8 points 4 weeks ago

I mean what would even be the purpose of intentionally wading through water? Don't they usually do fly overs to view the aftermath?

Even if this was true, it would just be evidence that he did a stupid PR stunt for votes...

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

That fat fuck can't swim, come on. Lol.

[-] Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

yea. no dip

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

We’re gonna need something like C2PA before the next election.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
