Staff Reports
Allies of the White House are using photoshopping to try to convince voters that President Biden is fit enough for a second term. This is clearly a way to counter the rising number of Americans who think Biden is too old to serve. Allies of the White House have shared these pictures that have been changed without even mentioning that they have been changed. One picture that had been changed even kept its Getty Images watermark, which made it look like it was real.
Biden Allies Spread Photoshopped Pictures of the President to 'Prove' He's Fit for Second Term https://t.co/sNxHrKVUNa

Democrat influencers have been sharing these edited pictures along with unflattering photos of Trump in an obvious attempt to compare Biden to the former president. Their main point is that Biden is not only qualified to be president, but also healthier than Trump. Malcolm Nance, Jon Cooper, and former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain are all well-known Democrats who have shared these posts. In his departure letter, Klain said he would do whatever it takes to help Biden get re-elected.
As I have said before, if they want to make this campaign about fitness: game on.

The difference between these two men, is only three years.
Oh, and two impeachments, six bankruptcies, and two indictments (so far), resulting in 71 felony counts. pic.twitter.com/o0vyMqO4HU

Mentally, there is no person on earth more unfit for office than Donald Trump. Biden could lose more than half of his cognitive abilities and he’d still be infinitely superior to the malignantly narcissistic sociopath with no grip on reality. Physically, there’s also no contest. pic.twitter.com/MrDdZspaSq

I personally think Joe Biden is in much better shape physically than Donald Trump is to run America despite being older. Do you? Drop a blue heart if you agree and retweet. pic.twitter.com/scF6cRQbks

They'd be lying if they did! President Biden may be older than traitor Trump, but he is definitely in better shape and health! Both mentally and physically. #Biden2024 pic.twitter.com/KWpjYIiqrX

On July 8, Democrat adviser Chris D. Jackson tweeted a picture of Biden on vacation in Delaware next to a picture of Trump playing golf. This was one of the most widely shared images. In this photo that has been changed, Biden's face looks brown, smooth, and confident. But it turned out that this picture was completely made up. The original Getty Pictures picture of Biden had been changed to make him look younger. When you look at the original picture and Jackson's edited version, you can see how he changed things, like smoothing out his wrinkles and making his smile bigger.
Most of these edited pictures come from Jackson, but other Biden supporters have also shared them as "proof" that he is fit to be president. Ana Navarro of The View, for example, posted one of these pictures along with an unflattering picture of Trump and wrote in the caption, "These two men are three years apart." Even more people responded to Navarro's post than Jackson's, with 3.6 million views and 57,000 likes.
The fact that Democrats tried to change pictures shows how worried they are about Biden's age. Over two-thirds of American voters think that the 81-year-old President is too old for a second term, and this is true even for a large number of Democratic voters. Biden's team has had to do things like give him note cards for meetings and make the steps to Air Force One shorter so he doesn't make mistakes because of his age. Some friends say they have faith in Biden's ability to be president, but their use of fake images makes it hard to know if they really believe it themselves.
