On December 18, Melania Trump posted on her Twitter profile a image with which he wished all his followers a merry Christmas. However, the photograph, in which, apparently, he poses with Donald Trump, is giving much to talk about.
In the image, the couple appears in the middle of a ladder looking at the camera and smiling. Both are wearing ball gowns and some Christmas decorations can be seen in the background. The perfect stamp, right? But, as the saying goes, Not all that glitters is gold.
The snapshot generated a large number of comments on the social network, at first, because some found the red lamps that appear on both sides horrible. But now, criticism has focused on several possible photo errors. So much so that some even claim that could have been altered using Photoshop.

The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ of Twitter assure, first of all, that there is no contact between Trump’s arm and Melania’s jacket. Others argue that Trump has been cropped from a very similar image in which he appears with Prince Charles in 2019.
Some have also noticed the shadows cast by the couple on the back wall and argue that they are unrealistic. “The strangest cut and paste job I have ever seen. They both look like two-dimensional cutouts, superimposed on a screen. Trump’s face is from a previous photo. Strange to the end, “commented one user.
For its part, the magazine InStyle Maintains that it would make sense if the image had been retouched since Melania herself has stated on several occasions that she is not very friendly with what has to do with Christmas.
In any case, the newspaper The Independent ensures that all these comments are nothing more than imaginations of Internet users. They state that there are some small differences between the photo that Melania has published and the one that Trump took with Prince Charles, as in the latter you can see the cuffs of the shirt and the one shared by the woman, no.
In addition, the newspaper recalls that Trump’s pose in photographs has been practically unchanged for years. However, Dylan Reeve, editor and television post-production supervisor has claimed to Daily Dot that the image may seem strange to some because it has been “very retouched” and, in addition, he explained that there are some complicated elements to achieve with Photoshop: “The reflection of the ground is also consistent”.
