#realphotooftrump #allegedphoto
In March of 2018 there was a
revolving photo of President Donald Trump, his wife (Melania Trump), and his alleged
mistress (Stormy Daniels together. Daniels also made statements that she has had an affair
with President Trump while his wife was pregnant.
The photo is false in content. The photo
itself has been manipulated from it’s original form. The original photo is of President
Trump, his wife and his daughter. The original photo of Trump and his family
was taken in 2005 at the Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars. Also,
the photo of Daniels was photo-shopped into the original photo. The original
photo of Daniels was taken in 2006 at the AVN Awards.
This rumor can be classified as a
wedge-driving aggression rumor. (Knapp 497) This is because the rumor was
started to cause controversy and create a negative image for President Trump.
The rumor also touches on conspiratorial plots to again cause problems for the President.
The details of the rumor make fore a good rumor because it is short and simple.
A picture speaks a thousand words rings true in this case. This particular rumor
makes for a good story because it is about the President. Any story about the President
having a mistress makes for a good story and always gains attention from the public.
A photo can easily be distorted, as it was in this cased. This particular rumor
has to do with a person in high authority. (Knapp 497-498)
The rumor encourages “shared
human sense-making” by making people believe that someone in high authority, such
as the President, has a secret side and is “less than perfect”. This is not the
first time a president has had an alleged mistress, however, as we I know right
now, this is not true for President Donald Trump.

This is a very interesting rumor. It is crazy that all of this dirt about the president and stormy is coming out and the president is denying it. I am following this story on the news to see what the outcome will be. It is amazing how people photo shop pictures and its crazy because the photo looks real. I honestly think that if you didn't have those two pictures beside each other people would really think that this was not a rumor that this is actually true.
