The size of Donald Trump's hands have made headlines one too many times, and a picture circulating online just made sure that they'll at least get one more.
Trump 100% photoshopped his hand bigger for this picture hanging in the white house, which is the most embarassing thing I've ever seen pic.twitter.com/MGTbFfdLqp

@DanaSchwartzzz this is not a joke.

His hands have already made news once this week while he was trying to get the cap off a pen, but this revisits a longstanding alleged insecurity Trump has about the size of his hands.
But would the President of the United States of America really go through the trouble of contributing resources to make a nonsense modification like this to a photo that would be hung in the White House for all to see?
Yes.
Found the original Getty photo. Hand is definitely photoshopped bigger. Thinnest skin in the world. pic.twitter.com/FIpZfMTYMN

People were having a hard time believing this, but the evidence soon started to pile up.
@AliasAliason yup, hanging on the wall

Someone looked to scale the hand with something else in the photo to see if it was just angled wrong.
@DanaSchwartzzz tried to scale the photos based on their shoes (and was generous). Trump’s hand is still enormous compared to the original. pic.twitter.com/9XraoWKO8l

@iamjoonlee RIGHT? It's like a clown hand

Ok, ok. I found the SAME photo on getty. Flip between the two images for the before and after. Watch the hand. pic.twitter.com/mMf20Dy3jX

With the number of doubts snowballing, someone did the gruntwork of finding the best view they could of the photo and lining it up with the original on Getty. The results? Well...
@DanaSchwartzzz Here, this is the absolute most precise I could get it. The color & contrast changes, but nothing moves. pic.twitter.com/zHFItu8Knx

@keeltyc THIS IS IT!! THEY JUST MADE IT...BIGGER
— Dana Schwartz (@DanaSchwartzzz) January 27, 2017
It wasn't even an advanced edit.
.@DanaSchwartzzz Yep. The only stuff that shifts is near the hand. @sierragodfrey is right, it's a simple spherize filter.
— Christopher Keelty (@keeltyc) January 27, 2017
Everyone was just so...confused.
@DanaSchwartzzz This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Nothing will ever be weirder.

But this exchange summed up everyone's feeling on this.
@DanaSchwartzzz I dunnnnnnooooooo. Here's the original Getty photo that looks pretty similar to the one on the left. pic.twitter.com/hip36n2Sf2

@nickpwing @DanaSchwartzzz nah. pic.twitter.com/4uNl0ZgSY5

@McKelvie @DanaSchwartzzz Hmmm is the top one bigger? Colors seem different too. Regardless, the sad thing is this is totally believable.

This is still all just speculation, but would you be surprised if someone managed to check the actual photo in the White House to confirm? Tell us in the comments.
