Trump with a walker? Viral photo sparks questions about whether it’s AI or real — here’s what ChatGPT said
Amid swirling questions about President Donald Trump’s health, a new photo has gone viral — sparking fresh speculation and leaving many wondering whether the President is truly well.
Trump with a walker.
Yes, the picture of the US President walking with the walker in a hallway of the White House. In that photo, he was looking up and appearing to lean forward using a walker.
Several users sharing the photo online, claimed that the image came hours after Trump signed an executive order banning states from regulating AI.
A user said, "It looks like an image has leaked showing Donald Trump using a walker moments after he signed an executive order banning states from regulating AI."
Another user shared Trump's picture with Golden walker and said, "Trump gold-plates his walker, officially making it the first mobility aid with a higher net worth than his voter base."
As the picture is going viral, people are trying to understand whether it is real or fake.
Several users on social media claimed that the photo is fake. Even the walker with golden plates just justify the claims.
When asked the Chat GPT, whether the photo is real or fake, the AI analysed the photo, and said that the walker’s structure looks slightly off, the carpet pattern in the hallway appears a bit “muddled," background figures have slightly soft or ambiguous facial details, which is common in AI-generated images and lighting on the central figure is very even and almost “studio-like,” while the lighting in the hallway is more diffused—not fully consistent.
The final conclusion: "The image shows several subtle inconsistencies typical of AI-generated photos. It leans more toward being AI-generated than a genuine photograph."

Shame on TOI. Even a child can say it's AI generated. But you have to meet your daily quota of anti-Trump articles. So you will resort to anything.Read allPost comment
