I’m not very charitable to Trump, because he doesn’t deserve it. I watched this particular clip and I got big “technically illiterate boomer who doesn’t realize that any grade schooler can put ‘M’, ‘S’, ‘1’, ‘3’ on HIS hands in MS paint” vibes from him. That doesn’t give him a pass in this situation, it’s 2025, I expect the president to be vaguely aware of the technological capabilities of 98% of personal computers put on the market since 1998. It’s also possible, I suppose, that he’s aware it’s a shoop and doesn’t believe other people are capable of spotting it as being an edited photo; I can see him being a big enough narcissist to really believe that everybody else is really that stupid. I mean, I guess I can’t blame him, just look at his rallies.
