Is Trump healthy? AI checks viral image

That ‘leaked’ photo of Trump with a walker is 73% AI-generated political trolling.

An image explodes on X with a ‘BREAKING’ claim: it shows Donald Trump navigating a corridor with a walker, supposedly right after signing an executive order on AI. The post, dripping with satire, racked up over 13.6 million views. It’s a classic piece of political meme-craft, designed to be shared with a smirk or a scoff. But it also perfectly illustrates a modern dilemma: when a joke looks this visually plausible, how many people might believe it? We ran it through our AI image detector to get past the punchline and ask: is this image AI, and how good is the gag?

Our detector came back with a 73% AI-generated score. This tells us it's a competent, mid-tier fake. It's good enough to go viral and sell the joke, but not perfect enough to fool a detailed technical analysis. Well, not really sure if anything can fool it… The creator wasn't necessarily trying to create a flawless deepfake, but rather was crafting a piece of political satire with a convenient visual. Our job is to show where the digital strings are attached, even in content that winks at the audience.

How AI built this political punchline?

The image works because it merges a recognizable figure with an absurd, symbolic prop. Our detector spotted the seams in the setup:

• the way Trump's hands grip the walker and his posture relative to it feels slightly ‘off,’ lacking the natural weight distribution of someone actually using it;
• the lighting on Trump doesn't perfectly match the ambient light suggested by the corridor, and the walker itself looks oddly clean and generic, like a 3D model asset.
• the specific claim tying it to an ‘AI executive order’ is a meta-joke, almost inviting detection (we came).
