President Donald Trump posted a touched-up photograph of himself from his weekend golf trip, where he appeared much more youthful, instead of sharing the original image.
The 80-year-old president was pictured Sunday at his Bedminster club in New Jersey driving the golf cart alongside retired professional Gary Player, 90, as they attended the LIV Golf New York tournament.
Trump, who often posts about how young he feels for his age, did not share the original photograph on Truth Social but posted a version in which he appeared to have undergone a computer-generated glow-up.
“With the great Gary Player, today, at Bedminster!” the post said.Player, by comparison, appeared almost exactly the same in the computer-generated image as the original.
Some of the president’s critics shared the two images side by side on social media.

“Trump’s AI Image vs. Reality,” quipped the anti-Trump Patriot Takes account.
“First image: Trump posted it bragging about playing golf this weekend. Second image: Actual photograph of 2 elderly men pretending to play golf this weekend,” said Brian Krassenstein, a liberal influencer and frequent critic of Trump’s.

Natalie Harp, Trump’s longtime devoted aide, is reportedly the person helping the president with his Truth Social posts, and compiles screenshots of social media posts from allies or fans praising the president for him to review. Harp was pictured returning to the White House with the president this weekend.
Trump was also pictured over the weekend with markings on his right arm. The discoloration on the president’s hands has become a subject of persistent scrutiny, but the apparently new markings on his arm prompted fresh speculation.
The White House has repeatedly brushed off concerns, attributing the marks to the physical toll of Trump’s constant public engagement.

“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,” said White House spokesman Davis Ingle. “President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises.”
Trump’s appearance came under further scrutiny last week after pictures of the president’s new hairdo went viral.
The commander-in-chief sported a seemingly brighter and fuller head of hair as he gave a speech in Las Vegas, prompting his estranged niece, Mary Trump, to liken him to Hermey the Elf from the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
“I’m not going to say anything about whether it looked good or not. I don't really care,” she told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah’s YouTube show. “However, he looked like Herby the Dentist from ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ — that’s what, that was my takeaway.”
