Did staffers photoshop Trump’s small hands in this photo?

Keen eyes and photographs are often all it takes to spell scandal. Granted, this is the sort of scandal that’s more laughable than impeachable, but the keen eye of Dana Schwartz, Arts and Culture writer for the New York Observer seems to have spotted a discrepancy in two Donald Trump pictures.

Found the original Getty photo. Hand is definitely photoshopped bigger. Thinnest skin in the world. pic.twitter.com/FIpZfMTYMN

The first image, left (and seemingly-altered), is hanging in the White House, as shown on ABC last night. The second image, right, is the original from Getty Images. When overlaid in GIF form, it seems some Trump staffer took the liberty (or was ordered to) make Trump’s hand appear larger.

@DanaSchwartzzz Here, this is the absolute most precise I could get it. The color & contrast changes, but nothing moves. pic.twitter.com/zHFItu8Knx

Others tried to play detective as well.

@DanaSchwartzzz tried to scale the photos based on their shoes (and was generous). Trump’s hand is still enormous compared to the original. pic.twitter.com/9XraoWKO8l

@DanaSchwartzzz I overlapped them. The blue in the background is the photoshopped hand. pic.twitter.com/qsK4Z93SIF

.@DanaSchwartzzz Took it into photoshop, cut the Getty arm and placed next to doctored photo. Definitely bigger. pic.twitter.com/h3Ms0ckZhT

@DanaSchwartzzz BeyondCompare 4.1.9 certainly shows something fishy around the hand only: pic.twitter.com/MvlzzGrL03

The comparison even managed to convince a few non-believers.

So, what do you think? Is the President photoshopping his hands to make them appear bigger?
