Just in case it’s not obvious, this was an edited, color-saturated version that someone had attempted to pass off as the real, unedited thing. In a world of lies, I just wanted to make sure people are aware. We’ve got so much of this going on today, I’m hoping at some point people start holding themselves to a higher standard; even on shitposts.
Being shared widely, specifically as real, with zero correction by commenters:
45 is disgusting and we have to keep it honest or it discredits allegations of all his true crimes and idiocy. I am sure there was a way to superimpose something to acknowledge the orangifying edit without impeding the comedy factor… “Photoshop license sponsored by Tropicana“? IDK
No, by all means - use edited photos. I’m just pointing out that this is close enough to reality, that it could be mistaken for a real picture.
If you had painted a white oompa-loompa suit, and green hair on him, I wouldn’t have felt the need to point the picture out, or maybe even saturated the picture EVEN MORE, but it’s getting to the point where you cannot trust anything anywhere, and there’s no longer any real sources of ground-truth.

Lol, he looks like a clown in both pictures. Why do people even bother changing it slightly?
His face is fucking orange. It’s orange. It’s not tan, it’s orange. No need to add more orange, everyone.
you mean I can’t use photos edited for humor on c/PoliticalMemes ?

Thank you. I’m sick of people bullshitting, regardless of what side they’re on.
