2/13 He once again "goes golfing" at his club. And, reporters are confined to the tennis court area. Not allowed to speak to Trump, and not allowed to seem him golfing, which they normally can.

3/13 His team posts this picture with close friend and radio host John Fredericks. After days of outdated pictures, we finally get something that seems current - but something is off.

4/13 Other than the weird staging, we notice that Trump's eyes are barely open, especially his right eye. This would be consistent with someone recovering from a minor stroke or larger TIA who is recovering physically but not fully well yet.

5/13 But, it's also an odd smile for Trump. Large, overly toothy, and uniform. The rare times he smiles with teeth, its smaller and larger on one side. It's not this clenched teeth full smile. And his face doesn't push back that much when he does it.

6/13 So then I thought, what about tools like FaceApp that use AI models to adjust a person appearance? Since this isn't a press photo, we don't know its not faced edits.

7/13 Here is a sample of a Trump smile image run through FaceApp's smile feature on high settings. What do you notice?

8/13 When we make the change, the app squishes the face to expand the smile. -Crows feet intensify -Lips furl in -Smile lines pull back -Eyes become more closed -Smile feels more intense/forced/unnatural

9/13 Unlike an AI that fully generates images, a face editor like FaceApp his hard to programmatically detect, there are no hidden watermarks or super obvious tells. The best method is changing the contract in photoshop to look for odd noise.

10/13 And when we boost contrast you'll notice some. Hard to see with Twitter's compression but the outline around Trump's face has pixelated noise, and so do his teeth. Suggesting, although *not proving* touch-up. It could be lighting inconsistencies but along with the weird

11/13 If there is nothing wrong with the president then: -Why is not taking questions from the press? -Why are they not allowed to see him golfing like usual? -Why are we only getting controlled media releases? -Why are all press images inconsistent with what his team puts out?

12/13 We're on 7 days since he was last freely in front of the press. We'd expect a TIA or minor stroke victim to be able to walk and pose for a photo now, but perhaps still have other small tells. But be nearing the point where they could pretend nothing happened.

13/13 The press are not asking any hard questions, and its likely by mid week we'll get some simple talking from the president sitting behind the Resolute desk and they'll pretend everything is ok. The President is clearly not running the country.

PS -- Queue MAGA rage as the bootlickers tell me "how healthy" he looks, how this is "obsessive", how he "works so hard" and how vague whataboutisms about Biden some how magically make Trumps health better! 🙄

@adamscochran Grok has corrected itself and said the photo with Fredricks is from May.

@Lynnenallo Yeah, but AI is very inaccurate with this, so until I see the original source for that image, I think it’s likely hallucinating. I cannot find any earlier posting of the image on reverse image search. So while I’d like it to be right, I can’t currently treat it at face value

@adamscochran https://x.com/roydelfino/statu...

@RoyDelfino Yeah the bend is consistent with face editing software pulling the mouth up and back to widen the smile

@adamscochran @SweetCarmel77 Ive read that no work can be performed in the WH while he’s there so somebody is lying. The video of shit being thrown out the window this morning was work being done.🙄

@Kushbae112 @SweetCarmel77 Yeah those windows are blast proof windows that are sealed shut in the residence. If contractors need to remove them security protocol requires that Trump isn’t staying in residence at the time. Suggesting he wasn’t there last night.

@adamscochran It is weird, but at the same time, I like the peace and quiet. Hearing him say the dumbest shit every day is nauseating.

@FisnikShaqiri87 So true! Very refreshing.

@adamscochran You're broken

@ProfessorSayi That’s cool.

@adamscochran An enhanced photo making the rounds..shows his left eye is droopy. Might be a stroke. Left ear is weird. And...it's a Getty Images pic AGAIN. 3rd time. Same photographer.

@NorthByNW57 The enhanced photo is a bad AI enhancement that is just doing guess work. As much as I think his eye is droopy I wouldn’t put weight in the “enhanced” image as credible evidence currently

@adamscochran Polonium pill from Putin?

@Tokenexpress33 No that wouldn’t cause strokes.

@adamscochran The 2 guys on the stairs have a small black item clipped to their shirts, what is that? And the looks on their faces...maybe they're caregivers?

@sandyrydbom Plain clothed secret service. You can see what looks like some sort of body armor vest under this guys shirt
