Donald Trump’s campaign team has posted ads aimed at Joe Biden, using manipulated photos to depict the former vice president looking older than he is.
The ads, which describe Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” see him gazing against a dark background. His skin is edited to look darker and wrinklier than the original shots.
The Trump campaign ran the altered photo on Facebook ads, along with a photo of the original one, where his skin looks brighter and healthier.
This is not the first time Trump’s campaign team has circulated altered material to attack Biden. Previously, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino tweeted a faux video of Biden sleeping through a live TV interview. The original video was an interview with American singer Harry Belafonte.
nice catch from @JessReports: as Trump fends off the idea he had a series of mini-strokes, his campaign is digitally altering pictures of Joe Biden on Facebook ads to make him seem older: https://t.co/sqIJ7tHsNE

Just in case we haven’t worn this point out to exhaustion yet, this wasn’t in a basement in Delaware and Biden wasn’t alone. Some of my pics from that night he visited the home of the mayor of Coralville, Iowa to watch the Hawkeyes game. pic.twitter.com/ZgGiVq5Oij
