Long black pants in July? With a white shirt? He looks like the waitstaff or a valet.

(7,850 posts)but he deserves this ridicule, real or photoshopped...
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)It's another to not recognize that the photo you are using is photoshopped (as the OP insisted it was not, as to the neck).
It is still another to promote a photoshopped image that ridicules him by portraying him as a woman (lactating). That's a whole different kettle of worms, troublesome in its own right.

(7,850 posts)Trump is a depraved misogynist..everything Trump hates about women is in that "pic"..aging, lactating which in itself is an oxymoron... as for me in this upside down world I've shelved "if they go low we go high"...I'm done being nice
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)is misogynistic.
It has nothing to do with being nice to Trump. It has to do with implying women are bad (you can't use women as an insult, without inherently implying there is something bad about being female.
You may not be offended - but that doesn't make the use of portraying Trump as a woman as an insult any less misogynistic.

(7,850 posts)'grab them by the pussy"..abhorrent, nauseating, demeaning, offensive..the photoshopped pic...no
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)Both treat women as "less than" men.
Trump treated them as body parts; the photoshopped photo treats them as inferior (because making Trump lactate as an insult only works if the suggestion is that a body that lactates is negative/worse than one that does not).
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)He was given an extra vertical ridge on his neck, and nipples/leaking on his chest.
Original Picture:
CatWoman
(79,302 posts)i know my op pic is photo shopped around the nipples, but the neck area has not changed
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)Then zoom in to the photo I posted. That ridge is not present in the photo I posted (with good reason - no one has a ridge coming down the center of the throat over their adams apple.)
The remaining ridges are also much more defined.
I stand by my post

see how easy that was?
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)The photo on the left is yours - you can see from the red marks that were on the photo to circle the fake nipples.
In your photo, there is a vertical ridge extending from the button on his right, just about the horizontal center. In the photo on the right it is completely absent. No human being has a ridge there. I know Trump is not human, but that particular physical anomaly is not one he possesses.
If you look to the left (in the photo) you will see the tendon ridge is much more visible (lighter colored on the photo-right of the tendon, shadowed on the photo left of the tendon). The tendon is present in the original, but it is far less noticeable.

Any comment on that?
Slightly less scary is still scary from this monster.

(10,885 posts)enhanced the neck ridges to make them more prominent.
I also suspect it has been horizontally adjusted to make him look slightly wider than the original pic.
I stand by my original comment - bad photoshop.
CatWoman
(79,302 posts)i used the first pic as it was larger.
I've updated my OP.
which I still stand by.
Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)It an adjusted pic to throw off the proportion. Chump's side of the photo has been stretched sideways to make him appear wider than normal. Note the background behind Chump is also fuzzier than that behind Favre.
If you agree the lactation is photoshopped, why can't you fathom the neck was also?

(10,885 posts)what your "fake shit agenda" might be.
This is a badly photoshopped pic - no more, no less, no agendas.
CatWoman
(79,302 posts)Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)The obvious alteration in the neck is the added vertical ridge.
The original doesn't show a double chin (although many of those are altered too). Not every photo of people who have double (or triple) chins shows those chins It depends on the angle, the lighting, the posture.
The original picture was published in the Guardian, a reputable newspaper that leans left. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/guardian

(15,575 posts)How did it come to be? Are they friends and just made a golf date? Did the WH reach out to Favre and set it up? Did Favre donate money in exchange for a golf date? It's just weird to me that they'd be playing together............
LeftInTX
(25,364 posts)That would be the most likely reason.
It's actually more of a photo-op for Trump than Favre

CatWoman
(79,302 posts)that's all I was saying before Dick Tracy and her gang of photoshop detectives piled on
Kingofalldems
(38,458 posts)The original is a fake and zero comments on that little fact.
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)But by denying there were any alterations to the neck in the posted - badly photoshopped - photo (when there obviously were) the OP made this thread into a referendum about whether we believed our lying eyes or them.
That distracted from the point they were trying to make - that the original (initially omitted) photo was altered. That distraction could easily have been avoided by swapping out the photo with the original, once it was pointed out that the bad photoshop not only added lactation/nipple shadows - but also altered the neck.
Instead the OP dug in and insisted the neck was unaltered in the bad photoshop, and posted the original photo as an afterthought rather than as the main event (which it needed to be if the intended focus was on what the WH did to the original photo).
So it shouldn't surprise anyone that the focus is on the misguided denial that the neck was altered in the bad photoshop, rather than on the point they were trying to make.
As to the original - I gave you links to a few other golf shirt shots. Everyone's neck has a very different appearance when they aren't wearing a button-down shirt. Just as everyone's belly has a very different appearance when they aren't wearing jeans two sizes too small - creating a mushroom belly effect. When Trump is golfing, the neck distortion caused by buttoning his shirt too tightly goes away - and double chins appear/disappear based on a lot of factors that do not require photoshoppping.

(10,885 posts)can be applied just as easily to everything that spews from the tRaitor's mouth. For him, it's a tactic, rather than an error.
Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)Ms. Toad
(34,074 posts)These photos have him in a neck-constricting shirt - which scrunches his neck up in the front (where he pulls it to when he buttons it). I'm guessing he's too vain to buy shirts in his actual neck size.
The original photo above looks pretty similar to some other photos of him in golf attire:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-claims-he-had-very-good-meeting-on-mideast-at-trump-international-golf-club
There are, of course, others that show his double chin off. But a lot of whether a double chin is obvious in a photo depends on lighting, posture, angle of the photo, and the skill (and intent) of the photographer, etc.
