RFK Jr. Ridiculed for Digitally Altering Thanksgiving Feast into Old Air Force One Photo of Him Eating McDonald's

(People) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing criticism for altering a photo of himself, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others eating McDonald's on Air Force One — instead making it look as though they were partaking in a Thanksgiving meal.

RFK Jr., 71, shared the edited photo on X on Thursday, Nov. 27. "Happy Thanksgiving!" the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services captioned his post.

The original photo was taken in 2024, after Trump, 79, won the presidential election. Donald Trump Jr. and House Speaker Mike Johnson also appear, similarly eating items from McDonald's.

The digitally altered image instead shows the group surrounded by a full spread that included turkey, brussels sprouts, corn, mashed potatoes, cranberries and more.

Yeah, it's obviously AI because he dances through the table, but the concept behind it is essential truth.
