Trump Posts AI-Altered Golf Photo at 80, Making Himself Look Younger

Summary
An AI-enhanced image Donald Trump shared on Truth Social showed the 80-year-old president looking slimmer, tanner and markedly younger during a golf outing with Gary Player.
Getty Images photographer Andrew Mordzynski’s original photo from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, quickly surfaced online, showing a stark contrast with the version Trump posted.
The post stood out because it appeared to present an altered image as a real, same-day photograph rather than the more obviously fabricated AI images that often populate Trump’s feed.
The episode adds to scrutiny of Trump’s repeated use of manipulated visuals on social media and raises fresh doubts about the authenticity of images he shares.
