Oh lord. Apparently Trump and The Sharpie Gang photoshopped a photo so that it looked as if Trump were putting a medal on the Hero Dog?
Or maybe Daily Wire did and he retweeted it?
AMERICAN HERO!
I did a comment retweet of it at the time saying “Trump hates dogs.” I also wondered why the dog was always photographed with her tongue lolling in exactly the same way…but I didn’t think of photoshop. Stupid of me.
A WH official said “the dog is not at the WH.”
The photo President Trump shared seemed to be an altered version of a 2017 photo of James McCloughan receiving a Medal of Honor. McCloughan told The New York Times that he felt President Trump was recognizing the dog’s heroism: “They are very courageous.”
President Trump was retweeting a fake photo without saying it was fake. That’s what President Trump was doing. Next time let’s put Homer Simpson in the White House.

Well, he’d be an improvement over Trump, but surely we can do better.
That would have been a remarkably quick recovery from the reported serious injuries the dog suffered kn the explosion. I’m surprised that Trump hasn’t claimed to have operated on it himself, because nobody performs animal surgery better than Trump…not even James Herriot.
Bloody handsome dog, mind, photoshopped or not. Clearly a breed directly descended from my favourite dogs, the German/Belgian shepherds.
Yes definitely a gorgeous dog.
The reports all say the dog is fine, which sounds very much like saying the dog has gone to a lovely farm.
That is North Korea levels of photoshopping. How cringingly embarrassing.
President Homer Simpson?
Are you saying that Lisa Simpson would be a better First Daughter than Ivanka?
Yes. Next question?
I’d definitely prefer a president who was all about the “D’oh!” to one who’s all about the dough…
