claim: a photograph shows president trump with balloons stuffed into his shirt.
question: balloon-breasted trump?
origin: in june 2017, a stream of hoax images featuring now-president donald trump appeared on social media, pushed by twitter accounts such as @trumpsnapshots with no explanation or context. one such picture appeared to show a sweaty-looking trump with balloons stuffed into his shirt:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  this is not genuine; it is an image was created by digitally manipulating trump’s face onto another person’s body. the same tactic was used to create a faked image of trump wearing a diaper, partying with liberace, and posing with a stripper.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  here is the original photograph, which was evidently culled from an ebay listing:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the ebay page for this photograph did not provide much information about the photograph, other than it was apparently taken at some point during the 1970s. regardless, it is not a photograph of donald trump in any decade.

comment: an image appearing to show donald trump with balloons stuffed into his shirt is actually a composite of at least two different photographs.
