Digital Doubts Cast Over Biden’s Easter Edited Family Portrait

Joe Biden has found himself at the center of controversy once again, this time over an Easter family photo that many online have accused of being digitally manipulated. The image, shared on social media, shows the former president surrounded by his wife, Jill Biden, and several family members, all gathered to celebrate the holiday. However, it wasn’t long before eagle-eyed users began questioning whether Biden was actually present when the photo was taken.

 

 

One of the most pointed criticisms stemmed from how out of place Biden appeared compared to the rest of his casually dressed family. In the image, he is seen wearing a full suit, complete with an American flag pin, which led to widespread speculation. “This looks Photoshopped,” commented Brigitte Gabriel, a New York Times best-selling author, on X (formerly Twitter). Her post sparked a flurry of responses, many of which echoed the same sentiment.

 

 

Critics zoomed in on what they claimed were inconsistencies within the photo, particularly around Biden’s physical placement and interactions—or lack thereof—with the people next to him. One user noted that Biden’s hand appeared to be suspended in midair behind a grandchild. “It’s totally Photoshopped. Look at his hand, it’s in a low wave position, the hand is not resting on the shoulder of the grandchild, nor are the fingers resting on it. This is fake!” they wrote.

 

Others honed in on the arrangement of the people in the photo, especially the positioning on the steps where the family sat or stood. “Fake much like most of his administration,” one user claimed. “The woman in the yellow shirt you can see her knees. She is sitting on the top step. Same with the guy on the left in the grey sweater with his elbow on his knee. Also top step. No way Joe was in this photo sitting or standing.”

 

While the authenticity of the photo remains officially unaddressed, the timing of the controversy has only added fuel to broader concerns about the 82-year-old former president’s health. These doubts are expected to deepen with the upcoming release of a book titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. The book promises to delve into what it describes as an intentional effort to mask Biden’s health challenges during the 2024 election campaign, including the decision that ultimately led him to withdraw from the race.

 

The Easter photo may be just one image, but for many critics, it symbolizes larger questions about transparency, digital manipulation, and the former president’s fitness—both physical and political—as Democrats and voters alike continue to reflect on the turbulent events of the last election cycle.

I used to photoshop directors to make it look like they were together when actually they couldn't all be present simultaneously. Big deal.
