    With a little ingenuity, you can easily achieve something like this in
    Writer:

    <https://mega.nz/file/68oQEITb#V6HTj-5Zn5-qtYHdwmKYX7AIv2iRD1E6x5rZrX3L36s>

    I copied the original image from this link: <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/Donald_Trump_official_portrait.jpg>

    I changed the background to turn it into an official passport-size photo.

    Hmmm... No need to use Writer to make one of these for me. I get them
    all the time with no effort at all:

    Below the above quoted text is a bunch of small pics showing various
    browsers.

    Somewhat to my surprise, I saw a series of pics of a smiling (wow, did

    It's suspicious.

    I thought this video looked legit until about the 8th viewing, when I
    noticed a duplicate Dubya appear in the crowd pushing another buggy.
    That was a dead giveaway.
