Donald Trump posting a week-old photo has heightened scrutiny of his health.

Amid continued concerns about his physical well-being, Trump posted an image of himself playing golf with a former football coach.

But, given the photo was taken a week ago, people raised concerns about a potential attempt to hoodwink the public about the true state of the president’s condition.

        To you, that headline, and a headline that says “trump is on death’s door”…

        Those, those are the same to you? You read both and think they say the same thing?

        Don’t get me wrong, Newsweek is shit, but that’s not the problem here and the problem is much more concerning.

      You fucker, you made me give them a click

      Travis Akers, a retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer wrote: “I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but if you’re fighting off increasing rumors that you may have suffered a major medical episode and to disprove that rumor and provide proof of life, you post a picture of allegedly playing golf with Jon Gruden today, it would be beneficial to post one that wasn’t from August 23rd.”

      This is what passes for “Journalism” at Newsweek these days …

        A quote from a retired intelligencer pointing out the picture is a week old and lazy/bad propaganda…

        Yes, that is literally what we describe with the word “journalism”…

        This is literally like if Faux News said the sun was coming up tomorrow, so you scamper off to prepare for 1,000 days of darkness and the return of Baphomet.

        Just because so one lies 90% of the time doesn’t mean 100% of what they say is the opposite of truth.

        You get that, right?

        Because I’m about to quit trying.

          You probably think that the local news reading social media posts on air is “journalism” too…

            It can be, depending on the subject matter, timing etc. Reddit had a big hand in the Boston Marathon bombers capture.
