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.

    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.
