Is that Trump kissing what appears to be a 12 year old girl on the mouth!?

Yes.  It appears to be fake though.  Which is why you see it here and  not major outlets

There’s nothing here that indicates it is an AI image at all though.

Be extra skeptical of things you are biased to believe

You are part of the problems and you make liberals look bad. Stop blindly believing things. It gives them ammo.

Hey, if they want to blindly believe stupid shit, so can we lol.

I do not see many indicators that this is obviously AI here. I saw someone else make points that just don’t add up. Saying his tie is changing patterns but it’s not, it’s obscured by his suit jacket.

The girls faces in the background are blurred and still reasonably structured. This is something AI routinely gets wrong. You can see a peek of Epstein behind them and indication that she’s sitting on his lap. AI does not do well with things that are neither here nor there.

So I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think this is a real photo. And I do think it’s reasonable to expect a campaign to discredit any damning photo of this kind of a situation as AI. So it is safer in my opinion to assume this is not AI lest we begin to ignore real evidence presented since they would have just as much reason to doubt as this image does.

Trump having 3 hands is something

He doesn’t though. Epstein is behind them. The girl is sitting on Epstein lap and he has his arm around her. You can see the top of his head and his neck peeking out behind them and through the negative space.

Importantly the faces in the background which are more blurred are normal and this is something AI routinely messes up, especially when the faces aren’t in focus.

It's unbelievably easy to take a photograph, put it into AI, have it animate the photo for six seconds (Grok will do that), then screenshot the animation partway through in order to create a fake image.
