Donald Trump Shares Fake AI-Generated Image Of Himself Amid Arrest Speculations

A closer examination of Mr Trump's hands, shoes and the people in the background reveals shortcomings in artificial intelligence technology.

After multiple fake pictures of former United States President Donald Trump being arrested went viral on social media, Mr Trump took to his own social media application Truth Social and shared an AI-generated image of himself praying. As always, the big tell is the hands. Trump appears to be missing his right ring finger. And his thumbs are mashed together in a way that defies human anatomy. pic.twitter.com/oWyYakKROy Then there are countless context clues that don't add up. Trump is the center of attention in every room he enters. Yet the four people we can see behind him don't bother to look at Trump taking a knee to pray. pic.twitter.com/nIvycjuuoN

The screenshot shows Mr Trump knelt down with his hands in front of him and his head lowered with the comment "pray for this man" written by a person who goes by the username siggy.flicker. Mr Trump posted the screenshot without any explanation. 

At first glance, the photo appears strangely real. However, a closer examination of the former President's hands, shoes and the people in the background reveals shortcomings in artificial intelligence technology.

According to a report in Forbes, Mr Trump seems to be missing a finger on his right hand when he joins his hands in prayer in the photograph. It added that his thumbs "are grafted on in a jumbled mess that seems to defy basic human anatomy."
