He didn’t stay awake, but this image is fake, exaggerating how extreme his falling asleep appeared That said, I’m cynical of folks like OP who say an image of him falling asleep is fake, without clarifying that although this image is fake, actual images from the event appear to show him sleeping

Fine. You're not wrong. What's your point?

That’s what happens when you don’t work for a living. You need a nappy nap during the day time, like grandma.

It’s true.

Then use actual stills, not manufactured lies.

Came here to post this! The OP must have missed the video.

Argh, thank you

Why the rush to correct? US media still protects fuck face every day and I don’t understand why.

He nodded off. period. he is not fit

I think the bigger issue here is that RFK Jr looks like he's being Weekend at Bernie'sd.

Why can't he just die already?

He still looks like he’s falling asleep

Not buying that either is a fake. They're taken at different moments, and from different angles. The droopier one is taken slightly later, and from an angle that makes it look like his tie in a different position.

He fakes Jesus

I like him being asleep is not the controversy, it's the degree of his head angle while he is dozed off that makes this a 'deep fake.' Degree of head angle is keeping @jaketapper.bsky.social off his new book deal.

Thanks for fact checking. #FactsMatter

He's still out. I'm a senior, and can recognize those micro-naps.

Good catch. Bad that “How asleep was he?” is the standard.

At what time was it in the video?

LOL

Yup. The moment is in minute 27, and it's obvious that he's awake. He's fighting sleepiness shortly after (eyes close, then bug-eyed open, like when I'm "resting my eyes" watching TV in bed with my wife), but not OUT out.

Our President.

It's around 27:07 in the video BTW

I like this one

Must adjust my tie to get more attention from guys.

The real one on the right is sad enough thank you.

Who gives a shit. Don’t act like if Biden had a perfect presidency and a perfect debate that Fox News and the New York Post wouldn’t be posting photoshopped images. Hell, they did when he was president. Suck my Italians sausage.

He fucking dozed off, just admit it.

The first 20 seconds are nearly as bad as the fake.

well done

If given steroids at night anyone will be up all night if losing mental acuity. Doctor gave my Mom steroids because of breathing problems and I did not know it would keep her up the entire night—scared me & never repeated the timing. No idea if it’s a specific medication, but it could possibly.

I could before he was elected…

I came here to post this.

Still Asleep, nonetheless! #SleepytRump #MalignantNarcissist #DumpTrump

That's right!

Well, I agree. I guess my new policy is to assume that every single image on my Bsky feed is now fake until proven real.

My pet theory is that somebody created the fake AI footage to discredit the idea that Trump was repeatedly falling sleep. But who knows.

That's plausible.

Then use one of the *real* shots of him falling asleep. Faking it implies you don't have the real thing.

So the playbook might be: when Trump does something crazy or embarrassing, make an Ai version of it that the cite the Ai to discredit the whole event (the reality). Pretty clever!

Why make a fake photo when the real photo id damning enough? Could it be to discredit the real photo by getting people to think it's the fake one?

Thanks! It’s difficult to know what is real because we do have real photos of him drifting off during important meetings.

He was still sleeping. Amd check out the droop on the right (his) of his mouth.

Thanks for calling this out. It's getting harder to tell what's real. I think some people want us thinking that way.

I can't understand this. Just wait 5 minutes and he'll come up with something even more stupid and horrifying all by himself. You don't need to make up stuff about him.

The one on the right is the one I posted. Also there is video of it now!!

Dammit. *The way… :)

trump and jfks 👀

Someone should tell Ted Lieu to take down his video then lest he get sued.

Yes, truth matters. I watched the video and he opened his eyes every few minutes. It looks really bad for him so let's go with truth instead of making ouselves look like liars.

The real-deal pic is gobsmackingly shocking enuff so I don’t understand why the lily needed to be gilded.

Good catch but the general trend of him tweeting all night and daydreaming during meetings seems all too real

lol, this "correction" just gets more people to look at the unedited one, which is a win. good job.

I mean damn the actual photo/video is bad, no need to fake it

There are a bunch of people missing this point

Y'all ever look back at your like history because something you saw gets fact checked, and it turns out it isn't in your like history, and you start asking yourself why it would have been? Y'all ever?

When he is talking, he's slurring, rambling, agitated, and generally looking and sounding like a confused old guy in an advanced care facility.

🇨🇦 What’s the difference. He’s napping in both pics!

thank you. Helped me edit a post with the real pic. Appreciated.

Also fake, no matter how wonderful to view, are the videos extending this scene, where TACO rests his head on the table and drools. Sad, but a girl can dream...

Altered image: Depicts Trump's head tilting away from vertical by about 30 degrees as he dozed off. Original image: Proves Trump's head was tilting away from vertical by about 15 degrees as he dozed off. CONCLUSION: Altered image is essentially the same as original image.

Thanks for this!

So the second one makes you feel better about Dozer Don?

Why did someone care enough to make a new image?

Because, we aren't them. We shouldn't have to lie to show how shit they are. They do that well enough on their own without making things up. It's called ethics.

Wow what a difference.

Oh spare me. he was half asleep the whole time. I watched the entire, boring spectacle.

He looks like a clown in both of them

I'm surprised by some of the large accounts here that are sharing that fake photo.

We all know he is sundowning. If your grandparents or parent that is almost 80, was up at 3am yelling in your house about people screwing them over and talking about treason...wouldn't you be concerned enough to have a medical intervention?? Same applies here. No right minded 79 year old is up at 3!

Did you watch the actual event video? If so, I’m curious why you avoid the context that while *this* image is fake, he *did* fall asleep

Are you seriously arguing that it is okay to post a "fake" photo? To what end? And how does that make you any better than an unintelligent MAGA? What a hill to die on.

Then why do we need it?

100% He did not actually fall asleep in this video. I would still call him "sleepy" in the full video, though. Gramps needs a nap and doesn't want to be there. Likely is not following the conversation either.

Ok, and now wut? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Look, I’ll go for the joke, all the time/every time. But if it’s not based in something real,

Watch the dang video folks.

He’s not questioning that aspect. It’s so clear, there was no reason to exaggerate it.

it’s a shame someone had to create a fake when there are so many real pictures of him dozing off.

bsky.app/profile/dta....

Crap like that really doesn’t help the cause. They accuse our side of lying and being dishonest all the time; the last thing we need do is give them actual fuel for the fire.

The entire thing is on video, and was live broadcast

Nobody really needs to exaggerate trump any more than he already does himself.

I don’t know if it’s fake as much as hopeful.

He's not asleep; he's fighting the wokeness!

Wait, the one on the right is real?! Is he really wearing a black tie? What’s up with that? Trump’s ties are always colorful, if not red (the usual) then purple or yellow.

People who mostly eschew AI forgeries in this particular case: 💅🦗🦗🦗

Clowns, crooks and grifters to a man.

Ilıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılı Asleep or not, he still looks like a reptillian, old, lecherous prick... Ilıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılıılı

Thank you! I just watched the video to compare.

It’s clearly fake as RFK has his shirt on and not having a homo erotic workout with Kid Rock.
