What's happened here is that you zoomed in on Trump's face in what's already a low-resolution, grainy photo. You've then used AI to upscale that grainy image, which has resulted in AI distorting the photo. Never mind the face, see what AI's done to USA and the flag on his hat.
Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.

AI enhancement gone wrong. Here's the actual photo without AI enhancement.
Can any doctor tell me what’s going on in this picture?

This image is AI-generated and the story is totally made up. This is yet another example of the growing trend involving opportunists using AI slop to share highly sentimental yet fake stories about World War II for online engagement and money.

The BBC has found an international network of content creators profiting from AI generated posts on Facebook.

That's not even remotely how Britain's political system, democracy and constitution work.
The United Kingdom has a monarch who could dissolve Parliament at any point in time. Why doesn’t he do this?. The current government is allowing his country to be completely destroyed by anyone’s measure. What, if not this, is the point of keeping the monarchy in that country.

FALSE. This video shows football fans in Germany, who are most certainly not chanting "send them home". These are Hamburg fans ahead of their team's Bundesliga match against St Pauli on Friday. They're chanting "scheiss St Pauli", which translates to "eff St Pauli".
