Melania Trump and Donald Trump revealed their official Christmas card this week. However, experts for Vogue magazine soon questioned whether the image had been photoshopped. Melania and Donald’s Christmas card shows the couple holding hands in the grand US presidential building. A photographer claimed the blurred nature of the image implied it is edited.
Photographer Daniel Arnold told Vogue the trick is often used “to reinforce an illusion of reality”.
Daniel said: “They blurred the whole thing to create a false uniformity.
“If I were editing and I were ever to do a bad job and it looked fake, I would blur the whole thing.”
An expert has now told Fox News his strong opinions on the Vogue article, which aimed to analyse whether the image was photoshopped.
Dan Gainor, vice president of the Media Research Center told the rightwing US outlet: “Notice how no one at Vogue was brave enough to put their name on this utter piece of garbage?
“This isn’t journalism, it’s c***. It belongs in the same sewer that Vogue inhabits.”
Fox News has characterised the Vogue article as a “hit piece”, bashing it for “snarky comment”.
Dan added: “It’s even more laughable because it’s so bitter and vindictive.”
It comes as Michelle Obama and Melania’s awkward relationship was made more so thanks to a TV interview with the former-First Lady.
The wife of Barack Obama spoke about a present given to her by Melania at Trump’s inauguration.
She said: “Then there was the Tiffany’s box. It was just a lot.”
Was Melania Trump and Donald’s Christmas card an attempt to deflect bad press?
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, body language expert Judi James revealed that while their poses seemed similar to the previous year, there was some striking differences.
“In 2017 the pair posed close to the White House door as though barely able to believe they were residents,” she said.
“Now fully integrated, the ‘Imposter Syndrome’ look appears to have worn off although their body language is almost identical to the year before.”
She added: “The couple stand rigid and formal with a suggestion of more shoulder tension back in 2017.
