New photos released by the White House on Saturday appear to show President Donald Trump working from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where he has been since Friday.
The President’s physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, stated earlier on Saturday that Trump had “made substantial progress since diagnosis.”
In one of the photos, Trump is sitting at the same desk from which he delivered a video message earlier in the day, in which he said that he feels “much better now.”
His daughter Ivanka praised her father for his hard work:
But the left didn’t share the same opinion.
People on social media as well as lefties media alleged that he was signing a blank piece of paper with a marker.
Jon Ostrower, the editor-in-chief of an aviation publication, also took to Twitter to note that the data embedded in two pictures of the president—showing him working in different rooms—were taken just 10 minutes apart.
“The photos released by the WH tonight of the president working at Walter Reed were taken 10 minutes apart at 5:25:59 pm and 5:35:40 pm ET Saturday, according to the EXIF data embedded in both @AP wire postings that were shared by the White House this evening,” Ostrower wrote.
Photos that went viral online:
Many on Twitter declared that the photos had been staged by the White House, with some eagled-eyed commenters noting that the president appeared to be signing his name in the middle of a blank piece of paper using his signature black.
Early Sunday morning, the word “staged” was trending on Twitter.
As we all know lefties will never stop they will use this situation to spread more fake enws like they did yesterday when they accused President Trump was wearing a portable oxygen concentrator in his pocket with the nasal cannula going up to his back, hidden in his hair, and tucked under his mask while boarding Marine One.
That situation was disputed by many left-leaning media and so will this one but that won’t stop the Dems from repading the fake news!
This comes as questions were raised around the authenticity of the video released by Mr Trump from the hospital on Saturday night, in which he sought to reassure Americans he would return to work in the White House “soon”.
Several film editors pointed out a glitch in the video where the president appears to hiccup, but may have been an exit cut in the footage to edit out a cough. Video below:
What do you think about this?

Are you changing your vote? Me neither.
Doesn’t the paper appear like a hard cardboard, folded in half? It’s like a large birthday card, with the message on the left side.
Staged ? Like a cars for Biden parade ? without Joe Izuzu ?
Like earpieces hidden in Biden’s ear, major drugs on board, dilated massive pupils in front of stage lights (with reader contacts/filters in his eyes so he can read notes,constantly looking down).
AND, refuses to take a drug test or allow inspection for earpieces— as Trump DID?
That kind of “cast” phony? Biden cannot talk on his feet— and everyone knows it. Just as they know the dyke’s club of hitlary and Karamela round heels is the intended shadow candidate, and Joey Bags... is their FOOL!
It would seem you are the only one who understands the point I was making.
Thank you! The pearl clutching on here is ridiculous!
Maybe you should be making more cogent points.
Here we are discussing whether the photo is real or not, while the press is trying to convince us that Biden is normal.
So he wasn’t sitting at a table writing on paper in that photo? Lol
Maybe you should be making more cogent points.”
I don’t think that is the problem. Many on this board are so defensive that anything that could be interpreted as being critical of anything The President does is met with an immediate and at times irrational reaction. If it comes out that the President released a faked photo of him doing well when we are all worried about him I don’t see how that is a good thing. I don’t know if it is a fake or not which is actually part of the point I am making.
I’m sorry, you should be arrested for posting that with no warning.
Good one, that is funny actually.
Good one, that is funny actually.
The ChiComs are very capable of having agents sneaking into public meets and spreading 19. Since they created this don’t put it past them to pass it on
I have seen a number of Twitterverse comments regarding this is all being ‘faked.’ And I do think they have a legitimate observation.
First off, consider the images we know of, of the Presidential suite at Walter. Nothing in either of these photos harkens to those images.
Now before you get your tail in knot ...keep reading.
President Trump has a highly contagious virus. Does anyone possibly consider he is in an isolation ward vs. the hard to decontaminate suites? Raise your hand if you think that is a possibility. I do. I think it is a strong possibility that it helps keep him safe and the entire hospital safe.
Are the photos staged? Absolutely!! They have to be staged because of the risk of contamination. Yes, he is there, yes he is likely working just as we see him. But, like the vast majority of covid patients...his visitors are doctors, not the White House Press. So when they want to get the message and image out that he is fine...and doing well...it has to be staged. I would have been more inclined to see him at a computer, but a conference table and paper are fine too.
I might ask has anyone bothered or are they able to bring him a change of clothes? Maybe the Secret Service is investigating something at the White House that precludes this? I am sure that suit and shirt are dry clean only, so a fresh set of clothing...golf shirt even...would be fine.
Stage photos...absolutely for a lot of common sense reason.
Even were he to just sign papers that doesnt mean its staged. Hes known to sign autographs sometimes, not just a couple to look good for the fans like some stars do, but for everyone at the meeting. If you dig around youll find a video of him visiting a fire station. Toward the end of the event he signs some signatures and as he walks away with those leading the event he says to various people that he is going to come back to sign some for them and jokes that its a form of tip or bonus in that “then you can sell it for $10000, or something .”
If the paper is blank that means nothing, it could just be Trump being Trump for the medical personnel.
Maggie! My old FRiend! How COULD you?!
;)
For the President of the United State, hospitalized with symptoms of Covid19, even posing for a photo-op is WORKING. He’s re-assuring the people of the United States that he’s healthy and capable of being Commander-in-Chief, alert and with-it. He is showing the nation that he is not a death’s door. That is part of the job of being President.
I doubt the page the President signed was blank. It might be the final page of a multi-page document with a single line on it. But, so what if it was a blank page suggested by the photographer as part of the photo-shoot? He was STILL WORKING, not resting in an easy chair in the hospital’s Presidential Suite. President Trump was submitting himself to the requirements of the duties of the Office which he swore an oath to fulfill. He was doing his job.
Every president has his “bots” who think or want you to think the man can do no wrong and they try to paint or spin everything he does in a positive light. Those of us who’re not bots often have a better time with critical thinking and can often better see the pros and cons of actions and optics.
