Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump posts old or AI photo of him in a golf cart shaking Jon Gruden's hand, giving impression he was golfing yesterday? [View all]

President Donald Trump celebrated the "true character" of former NFL coach Jon Gruden despite his resignation over reports that he used racist, sexist, and anti-gay slurs.
"Great playing Golf with Jon Gruden A really nice guy, and true character!" Trump wrote on Sunday. The president included a photo of himself shaking hands with Gruden on a golf course.

Based on analysis of the image and recent reports, it appears to be AI-generated. Trump posted multiple AI images on Truth Social that day amid rumors, and there's no verified record of a recent golf outing with Gruden. The photo shows common AI traits like odd proportions.
...I think the last time he played on a course with Jon Gruden was in Scotland a few years back.
Trump does not look well in any of the photos provided by or to the press.

... if anyone can find a photo of Trump actually playing golf, or even on the course Saturday, I'd like to see it, because nearly every report I've seen claims he "he went out to play golf," or, "heading to play golf."
...on Saturday, he emerged, spotted by pool reporters in a white polo, black pants, and signature red Make America Great Again hat on the way to his Virginia golf club. Grandchildren Kai Trump and Spencer Trump were also along for the ride.

Each and every one I've seen making this claim, directly, have included an old photo of Trump playing golf. Where are the photos of Trump playing golf Saturday, or as much as an eyewitness account?
...Grok put this succinctly, mirroring my own search efforts:
From my searches, press photos from AP and others show Trump at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on Aug 30, 2025, walking with grandson Spencer and toward areas like a tennis court, but none explicitly depict him holding a club, swinging, or in a golf cart. No official White House photos were released. Eyewitness accounts are limited to general reports of him golfing there amid rumors, without specific details of play.
...if Trump is going this far, there must be something he's covering up. He's so incredibly pathological in his deceptions that he's compelled to push this to the point where it's just damn suspicious to almost anyone looking on.
