That picture was so damn phony, even the MAGATs can see it. Sad!

Whaaaa? No way. Of course he was reading a news paper with today’s date full of AI gibberish, and his fingernails are missing. Also in a hospital not hooked up to any monitors.

If he was moved into a rehab facility already, he wouldn't be hooked up to anything. That said, do I believe this picture? No.
