WaPo wants you to know it's fake... but you've got to see this, got to get it imprinted on your fragile brain.


(Obtained by Ann Althouse)

Yes, I too am exposing it and searing it on whatever brains may be within my range. You've got to inure yourself, not jump at everything, not jump at anything, really,  anymore.

WaPo offers future tricksters a tip: "Most likely, the high-resolution image came first... with the blurry version perhaps created by someone trying to get rid of the AI watermark....."

I'm so old I can remember when The Washington Post was not a knock off of The National Enquirer and that the Post got to the real stories while the Enquirer dealt with fake photos of celebrities kissing when they thought they were alone.

There has to be 100,000 people in America who are paid full-time employees whose only job is to get Trump one way or another.

The mission statement of WaPo and the NYT is to destroy Trump.

Hating Trump is a growth business. It creates jobs.

Trump would be grabbing her butt. Obviously fake.

Bob Boyd said...

The image may be fake, but they found a hair on her putter and tested it. Yup.

The future is Photoshopped, Automated to be equitable and inclusive... ei, oh.

AI fakes … The future is grim.

Did you ever notice there are not many way to get rich telling the truth, but a whole lot of lying gigs pay well. Now more than ever.

Trump is the first President to have a hottie waiting for him at home.

You people love the various and sundry stations of the Cross that Trump must endure, lol.

Trump Always Wins!

Your insecurities are showing.

Curious that the WaPo didn't put up a hoax image of Obama making out with another woman. "Hoaxes like these are "death by a thousand cuts" that chip away at people's trust, one expert said.
I suspect that the "expert" is right there in the WaPo editor's office.

The Secret Service budget will need to appropriate extra funding to protect Melania from Natalie Harp.

Althouse said, "You've got to inure yourself..."

I recklessly read that as "You've got to INJURE yourself..." and it made complete sense to me.

Was it a "deep fake" ?

The Adam Schitt Cult left insist it'sreal.

Peachy+2 said...

The WaPoo (D) knows that most leftists will think it's real.

Peachy+2 said...

IEE (D) - behold, I am right.

Far from unique, I automatically assume all Trump “News” whether text, video or photo is fake unless proven otherwise. It’s the only way to survive the relentless bullshit corporate media has promoted, not reported but PROMOTED like selling a product, since the glorious escalator descent in 2015.

Peachy+2 said...

If the left want something to be "Their truth" - they manufacture it for their loyal cult base.

Spiros said...

Even if true, what's the big deal? It's not like this woman is being taken advantage of and, unlike Stalin's women, she could always say "no" without the fear of death or being exiled.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

How many of the resident retards here insisted that it was maga “obsessed with the story” other than relentless tard triple d?

Peachy+2 said...

WaPoo(D) goes full BS NOW.

Peachy+2 said...

Remember - leftist cultists believed every word out of Adam Schitt's and Rachel Maddow's lying liar mouths.

Corporate Streisand Effecting

rehajm said...

complete garbage. WaPo should be booted from the white house next. I’m not a fan of this idea that it’s censorship. It is a recognition of the institutional failure to develop and maintain minimum standards of journalism. I’m not persuaded by efforts from Ann or anyone else to try and maintain the charade- who are you fooling at this point?

The left is full of assholes that spew nonsense all the time, and wonder why we think they are all mentally ill.

I hear they aren't Obama's type.

All hatred is ugly--especially Trump-hatred. Ladies, you look awful wearing it!

If The Washington Post really wanted to out this kind of fake AI generated photo lies so people wouldn't be tricked into believing it it was real and using it in false smears then they wouldn't have published the photo, they would have simply reported the problem. By actually publishing the fake photo they are intentionally part of the problem of spreading false smears about President Trump. They know full well that they're spreading fake photos and if you believe for one second that they're being trustworthy journalists with this story then you're a gullible fool.

This is a lot like pretending Democrats will lower gas prices.

It is a combination of dishonesty and stupidity.

Did Trump just pivot?

Iman said...

Now let’s see one with that douchebag Karen Attiah kissing Colonel Sanders’s ass, WaP00.

Iman said...

“Did Trump just pivot?”

Yes, and he’s squatting over your head, kaKAH.

Iman said...

That Mass*hole ain’t from El Paso, Achilles.

Mary Beth said...

It's interesting how they are willing to use a woman to try to make the man they hate look bad. They don't care what harm they do to her.

chickelit said...

I delight in seeing major American newspapers look stupid. He have earned it!!

Brylinski said...

Google (Gemini) or ChatGPT should be able to identify who created this fake photo. They probably won't volunteer the information because both lean very left. If I were Pres. Trump I would sue Google and ChatGPT and force them to disclose the author in a defamation case.

Brylinski said...

Natalie Harp should sue too.

Brylinski said...

And add left-wing influencer Keith Edwards to the parties being sued.

Brylinski said...

And sue X user Mykhailo Rohoza as well for publishing the fake on X. Elon may be of some help in identifying the source.
