This is given too much importance. 😂
Having a toothbrush moustache and a side parting isn't illegal 😂
Nobody cares! And it is an AI picture
The presenter mentions the three lions on the badge of the England shirt. France 24 should tell the audience where the three lions really originate from. Go on, don't hold back.
Why would a supposedly reputable news organization like FRANCE 24 decide to dedicate air time to misinformation and help disseminate images that otherwise most people would never see? Did they run out of actual news to present to their audience? or are they so desperate go get people to want their channel that they have to concentrate their resources on showing misinformation!!
Trump wants to make him Secretary of the Arts
Why report on this trash made by some sad troll using Grok or another ghastly LLM? Don't you have proper news to cover? Extremely disappointing gutter reporting from France 24, shame on you.

Why is this news? Presenting it as a full segment with a clickbait title only gives the conspiracy legs. Seriously irresponsible news presentation.

AI is really scary. I won't be surprised if the images of someone's daughters and sisters are being used to manufacture pornographic content as well. This is one of the reasons I don't post my images online. You never know who is taking your stuff and using them for sinister reasons.
For western media, it's okay for Trump saying "I'm the boss" in G7.
Love that German fan imagined creation, it gave me a sense of honor for the man who tried to solve the problem we are all experiencing today. He is in a long line of people who tried to solve the same problem, including Queen Isabella of Spain, and hundreds of others.
Fake you can see the mustache is way darker than the hair color
I think it’s freaking hilarious. I am pro Israel.
Truth or fake, he's there in spirit with all that's going wrong in the US right now.
