President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused “deranged” media outlets of digitally editing pictures of first lady Melania Trump and fanning the flames of conspiracy theories that the first lady employed a body double last week on the couple’s trip to survey tornado damage in Alabama.
The president offered no evidence to support his claim that members of the media had intentionally photoshopped images of the first lady in order to stir controversy — a move that would amount to a major ethical breach on the part of a press outlet. Twitter users in recent days have posted side-by-side photos and videos of the first lady from last weekend’s trip, during which the couple visited survivors and paid their respects to the nearly two dozen victims of a massive tornado a week earlier, scrutinizing Melania’s body language, height and facial structure that allegedly supported the body double theory.
Just when you think he can't get any more stupider, right? (I know, more stupider sounds more stupider than anything else that i've seen today except for Trump's tweet.
Who among us doesn’t Photoshop useless pieces of 💩
Don't nobody got time to photoshop her she is a nonmf factor
😂
He lies. About everything.
EnemyOfThePeople
Who gives a dam. So what true or not. I'm more worried about his cuts to social security, medicare, medicaid. Taking 75 000 of federal workers retirement. Corruption on all levels.
Trump lies and has no fear of being called on his lies. Remember to vote.
If the First lady visited Alabama with the president, the residents with whom he met would be able to tell the difference. It isn't as if they found an exact match; Not even close. Not to insult whoever's face is on that photo, but not a close match. Should be evidence enough
When has someone needed evidence to make a statement You people write articles condemning people without any shred of evidence. Is that not the same thing
Oh come on, of course they did. Ethics and media died a long time ago. Go ahead and live in denial or keep lying but everyone knows. It a punch line now.
Me thinks he doth protest too much.
Wouldn’t be the first such breach. Please.
Sounds more like the National Enquirer!
Whatever. He just lies and lies. What a world we live in with this man,
Again, projection.
Well yes you see he doesn’t have any proof and he doesn’t care if it’s true or not. I do not believe the president is in command of all his faculties.
In the end, does it even matter? This first lady has been lost in the debris of her chaotic and dysfunctional husbands presidency. While she may be a good person, she fights a lonely battle in attempting to bring forth the substance, sparkle and finesse of her predecessors.
That’s rich....Politico asking for evidence!
How much more breaching does the media have to do before we learn they are not to be trusted? Read the standards of journalism.
Trump lies again. Same as always.
Screw trump n his escort.
Or maybe it was just a fake Melania
So who was that in the photo? I'm not blind.
Who photoshopped the images? Exactly - no one and the controversy started online with people questioning if it was Melania.
🙄
So..... since he is protesting so much, it means that it really wasn’t Melanie. As if we cared either way.
Melania is fake without the help of photoshop
Hell, CNN lives in Breach............🙄
Does Donald ever offer evidence to support his claims, EVER?
Trump and his buddies' conspiracy theories are getting really boring.
I don’t need evidence to know that this is something that your bias would do.
AKimCampbell 'You can tell it's clearly photoshopped because the woman in the picture appears to be happy to be with me.'
Well, they’ve done such In the past, so always a possibility.
I was laughing off FakeMelania as a joke until Trump made a point of saying it wasn't Fake Melania. Now I'm wondering.
Fake wife
He never has any evidence or specific facts when he shoots his mouth off. Fake news.
Given the media is propensity for fake news, I would not put it past them
Just like when he said he was being spied on during his campaign .... Oh wait .
Ethics seems to have left our media some time ago.
Well if anyone knows about ethical breaches, it's the 'president'
I totally saw shopped photos (Putin’s face over Melania’s) but it wasn’t a media outlet that put it out there. Seemed like I saw it only on private blogs & private social media accounts.
Media offered no evidence that they didn’t......
Oh... we're sooo used to that now... Wishful🤔 thinking' talks like: 1-I hear that, 2-We have news that 3-We know that... 🙄
dna test ordered
This tweet is a farce. The MSM including you breach the ethics barrier daily when it comes to our President. Stop acting indignant.
When do reporters have evidence before writing stories. 🤷🏻♀️
He's projecting again what he saying other people do, is what he is doing.
Daisy2EHall But he does suggest the photo isn’t of her.......
As if the Trump administration knows a damned thing about ethics.
The fact that he has said anything at all indicates that the fake Melania is REAL!
Just when you think that this presidency couldn't possibly be more ridiculous ...
Because he’s making sh&t up again! Why don’t y’all just turn off his microphone? 😂😂😂
it's very unlikely his media critics would photoshop the images themselves. easier and safer to leave that dirty work to anonymous online trolls. come in afterwards to copy, paste, and expose more people to the images and conspiracy theory when just 'benignly reporting the news.'
Since every President Least in 20/21 Centuries has had a Cross Dressing Body Double 4 their FLOTUS as a security option it would be unusual if the TRUMPS didn’t! Of course the NObamas flaunted it.
using the word ethics & the media in the same sentence PROVES you are either a bald faced liar or the dumbest human being on this earth ...
This. Is. Not. Melanie.
I think he has more important things to do, why don’t you just do some real journalism for a change, you might find you enjoy it
michaelepeters7 realDonaldTrump but we DID see NatEnquirer photoshopped pics of HillaryClinton. What did you promise Pecker in return?
That's okay... regular citizens offered up the proof...as usual
Never underestimate President Trump.Remember he is privy to info that rest of us are not.realDonaldTrump foxandfriends
They’re holding hands, so FakeMelania. Unless the hands were photoshopped too.
Do NOT share this story! The irony is beyond profound!
Now this was nonsense, fictional, delusional, & easy to ignore until provided proof. Stop repeating & brodcasting his nonsense
Shame on you, Politico. Let me get this straight - Trump ACCUSES Media Photoshopping to STOKE FAKE CONSPIRACY?!!! I cannot believe a reputable news organization would even print this! Running crap like this is part of the reason we are here today!
Grasping at straws
Well of course everything he says has No evidence to support it.
IDK where he came up with that? I never saw anything like that. Must be on the Fox network, I don't watch that.
Why does he have to offer you evidence. You seriously think you run an objective journalism shop
FakeNews from the FakePresident !
Wow. That means it’s true FakeMelania
When pressed, Melania finally admitted it was Eric in drag: 'I know it's crazy, darling, but it was the only way to get him out of the house.'
What proof do you want him to offer? Everyone knows the media is full of shit and has no problem using photoshop.
I have 0 doubt that images were photoshopped and I certainly believe the integrity of media breached long ago.
Why dwell in his lies? Shouldn’t even put it out.
JUST ASK HER A QUESTION: if she understand the question and replies cogently THAT’S NOT MELANIA.
This is the guy who has his own pics photoshopped to make his hands look bigger.
It’s the media’s fault for giving him and his conspiracy’s oxygen. Ignore him
Just when I thought things couldn't get any lower.
Oh, it’s not photoshopping. She’s just had so many plastic surgeries that she looks like a man at some angles.
Lordy. He and he alone created a conspiracy out of a joke. Why can't he let the little things slide? 'Something happening here...what it is ain't exactly clear...'
'a move that would amount to a major ethical breach on the part of a press outlet' Of course, Fox News has photoshopped their enemies in the past.
js26783_joe Liars gonna lie. Don’t be surprised.
his own press photos show him slimmer than obese, go figure
This entire administration has been a 'major ethical breach'
He often confuses members of the media with random twitter users. Life is hard.
he never offers evidence, which is how we know he’s lying, as usual
Before trusting him better trust a used car salesman. Sorry car salesman
Well, objectivity is no longer taught in the school of journalism so...
For the love of god, where is the respect our 1st Lady of Soft Porn deserves?
Also, in making the accusations of photoshop Trump is indirectly confirming that the person in the pics doesn't look like Melania.
Note: This is not worth anybody’s attention. Ignore him. He is playing to the media’s attention span....squirrel! Yours included.
Do you just have the phrase 'Trump offered no evidence to support his claim' as a template for the opening of your tweets? If not, you should. It would save you a lot of time. Like, more than a Tim-Apple amount of time.
God hope there is not two of them
Davidlaz In other words, it was a fake Melania.
Trump offers no evidence to support his claims period. Just end the sentence there.
Corrupt media are EnemyOfThePeople
'that would amount to a major ethical breach on the part of a press outlet' Bwaahaha! Like they know anything about ethics!
No, he never offers real evidence if any claims
Paranoid realDonaldTrump is getting “more deranged with time”.
Oh God, please let me live long enough to see the movies...
You mean on The View?
The truth is that he had her legs shortened so he'd look taller. Get over it people.
He said that because it wasn't her.
She was holding his wee hand. Why would anyone assume that it was Malaria.
The real Melania is the one who swats his hand away!
Ethics and the msm? Is this a satire account?
Does Trump ever offer evidence of anything besides his stupidity which he does anytime he speaks or tweets?
Obama wiretapped Trump Tower!!!!!!!!... When does Trump ever offer evidence for ANY of his lies!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does he ever offer evidence?
Because he is full of s***
