If it were real, that'd be an incredibly dangerous thing to do--even with a life preserver vest--and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.

I mean, drowning is kind of the least of your worries in those situations.
NEVER walk through even suburban flood waters unless it is life or death. Because you know those things called "sewers"? Yeah, they are under there. And if the water has reached the point where it is even a foot off the ground? Then those sewers are entirely(-ish) full and that "water" contains significant amounts of poo, medical waste, chemicals, and so forth. Let alone corpses of animals... and people.
So that is basically liquid hepatitis and Erastil knows what else.
It is also why you NEVER buy a car that has been in a flood area and houses really should be basically demolished at that point (but aren't because Capitalism).
Where do you live where people flush corpses?
A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.
- You would be amazed what people flush down their toilets
- You do realize there are other people in that flooded area too, right? Those "missing" folk? Hopefully all of them show up at a Waffle House two counties over. The reality is... many of them are still there in that horrific soup.
It’s not about flushing them but I would imagine that graveyards that are below sea level have the bodies in mausoleums and many of those you can walk into so it would not surprise me that places near the ocean might have a rotted corpse.
Places that flood bad enough that people and animals die in them?

Of course it is. Nothing in his history would make anyone sane believe he'd be anywhere near active flood waters. Or even wear a safety vest on the first place.
Trump claimed to have sent workers to Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks.
Not only didn't Trump send workers, he didn't do anything for the volunteers who did show up.
Plenty of places were offering volunteers rooms and / or food during the clean up operations. Trump's properties were locked tight.
He did take money becuase he was a 'small business' owner.
He did also claim, on 9/11 mind you, that he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Which wasn't even true.
This guy has to be exhausted for constantly coming up with the worst fucking takes, lying to boost his own ego and generally being a giant dumbass. I'm exhausted for him.
Don't forget him bragging that he now held the tallest skyscrapers on the NYC skyline.
You know what is a real photo? This one.
You can tell it's AI because it tried to make his hands normal sized.
I find it funny how MAGAts spend all this effort creating photos of Trump looking and acting how they envision him in their heads - because he's never going to do or be any of them.
- Naked with chiseled abs? Nope
- Interacting with his followers? Nope
- Wading through the floodwaters? Nope
- Slender? Nope
- Cradling or caring for children? Nope. Well, not released yet anyway
- Leading a charge into battle? Nope
They had to. It's far too dangerous for him to be near actual water. If his diaper gets too saturated it will drag him under.
yea. no dip
He's wearing jeans in the photo for once. I can't imagine him ever wearing jeans
I doubt that man even owns a pair of jeans.
That dump truck of an ass would never fit into a pair of Levi's
😳
I don't think you can do jeans when you wear adult diapers
Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question
There's nothing wrong with those hands. There's ~15-18 fingers between the two of them and the joints are totally in the right place.
Oh gosh I looked at the hand and think I lost 2d4 sanity points.
And the other hand is giant. Trump is well known for his giant manly hands
It’s amazing how many glitches people are able to spot. I don’t really have an eye for that level of detail but usually just get a vague unnaturallness

You don't use ad-blockers?
I use Android (Samsung) and I've never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.
Firefox with ublock origin (like the others said) works and for other "entertainment" apps there are apps you can use outside of the Google play store to get around ads
Firefox+ublock origin

I don’t think Trump has ever worn jeans.
On the other hand, wearing jeans in water is just the sort of stupid thing he might do, like looking at the sun during an eclipse.
Anybody have a link to the image? Article is paywalled.
Pffft. Who can't see that that's ai generated? Also how weird is it to see Trump in anything but suit or silly golf clothes? Jeans and a button up is entirely to normal for the orange man to wear.
That and his weird claw right hand
And the other guy’s hat!
Ugh. Can people seriously not tell an image is llm generated at a glance? The lighting and shading is always all fucked up in a way that makes it all look fake, like toys.
Plus, Trump would never wade through even clean water to help someone. Forget about sewage-contaminated flood water.
His cult is so used to seeing fake images that they have a hard time telling reality from fiction. They have to constantly photoshop him into looking like a strong man that they've forgotten what a unfit, blob of a man he really looks like.
Thanks!
Yep where is the massive diaper?
That's what I was thinking. There's no way his diaper and his fat ass would fit into those jeans.

Yeah, no shit.
If a good percentage of Americans can fall for Turnip
... a good percentage of them will fall for this image.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of them still thought that the mission accomplished press release was a big win for W.
Love how all of the sudden, Facebook is now the expert at identifying AI pictures, despite constantly falling for them almost every time.
I mean what would even be the purpose of intentionally wading through water? Don't they usually do fly overs to view the aftermath?
Even if this was true, it would just be evidence that he did a stupid PR stunt for votes...
