Internet sleuths also pointed out that there appeared to be an extra foot on the ground behind Luke.\n\nCritics had a field day calling out the editing fail.\n\n“They do live on an altered state of reality so not surprising that they alter their family photos,” one X user [wrote. ](https://x.com/TheDebEG/status/2086769372174135438)\n\n“Somebody’s phantom neck and chin coming out of that poor boy’s ear,” another commentator [quipped.](https://x.com/jkleinwilson/status/2086870429843472785)\n\nOthers were far less kind in their commentary on the apparent snafu.\n\n“When your dad is such a hideous creature that his low IQ son tries to AI his dad's image and fails miserably because incompetence is in their blood,” one user [wrote. ](https://x.com/herotimeszero/status/2086887389352390797)\n\n“Your old man doesn't even know their names. I hope AI is the closest your little girl ever gets to that monster,” another critic[ slammed. ](https://x.com/Kenner1234/status/2086775815446966338)\n\nEric wasn’t the only Trump to share a modified image over the weekend.\n\nPresident Trump, who has an affinity for sharing AI-generated images, shared a touched-up photograph of himself from the weekend golf trip in which he appeared much more youthful.\n\nThe 80-year-old was pictured Sunday driving a golf cart alongside retired professional golfer Gary Player, 90, as they attended the LIV Golf New York tournament.\n\nTrump, who often posts about how young he feels for his age, seemingly underwent a computer-generated glow-up in the image, which he shared on Truth Social.\n\n“With the great Gary Player, today, at Bedminster!” he wrote. Meanwhile, Player appeared to look almost the same in the computer-generated image as the original, non-modified image.\n\n## Join our commenting forum\n\nJoin thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies\n\n[Comments](#comments-area)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/eric-trump-roasted-for-editing-fails-in-photo-of-grandkids-with-trump", "canonical_source": "https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/eric-trump-photo-editing-fail-grandkids-b3031189.html", "published_at": "2026-08-11 16:07:33+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-11 16:25:08.254819+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai"], "entities": ["Eric Trump", "Donald Trump", "Gary Player", "Instagram", "Truth Social"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/eric-trump-roasted-for-editing-fails-in-photo-of-grandkids-with-trump", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/eric-trump-roasted-for-editing-fails-in-photo-of-grandkids-with-trump.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/eric-trump-roasted-for-editing-fails-in-photo-of-grandkids-with-trump.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/eric-trump-roasted-for-editing-fails-in-photo-of-grandkids-with-trump.jsonld"}}
