Yeah but his index finger gets bigger, which is funny because Trump is known to be sensitive about the size of his hands.

keep a look out for similar in the future??

it's been done for a long long time, in various forms,

pictures sell, so relatively common practice to alter to increase sales,

same applies to folks in politics, entertainment, etc,

look at Obama, his hair changes much more than it likely would for the avg guy,

surely Hil'z picts were altered,

ditto all those before them (FDR rarely seen with a chair, etc etc, )

betting Ceasar had his image altered on all those statues and busts
