FORMER President Joe Biden has been accused of badly photoshopping himself into a family photo during Easter.
People online were quick to spot something odd about Biden’s appearance in the seemingly sweet picture taken outside his Delaware home.

Biden’s ‘floating hand’ has raised suspicions

The 82-year-old posted the picture on X, with the caption: “We wish everyone celebrating today a peaceful and joyful Easter.”
The former US president’s family can be seen sitting on the steps outside the home, as Biden appears to be sitting on the top step wearing a blue suit.
People on X commented on Biden’s strange hand placement, the lighting on his face and his body positioning.
It is unclear from the image whether he is crouching or sitting behind his family.
It was also noted that former first lady Jill Biden’s hair appears altered on her right side (left in the image), where it awkwardly covers her husband’s suit.
One user wrote on X: “This is photoshop. Biden face is brightly lit from top/bottom.
“Everyone else’s is diffused (shaded) Biden has no discernible shadow.
“Jill casts a shadow, Biden does not. Super awkward body position.
“Head size doesn’t match depth line.
“Is @JoeBiden alive?”
Another X user wrote: “I don’t understand the [special] arrangement of Joe in this picture.
“Everyone in the back row of the photo *except Joe* appears to be sitting.
“So why isn’t he towering over them? Are we supposed to believe he’s sitting or something?”
But another user defended Biden against photoshopping accusations, suggesting that the image was too jarring to be a photoshop fail.
They wrote: “I don’t think Biden was actually photoshopped into this pic (the hand is on the guy’s back in front of him), but he still looks as photoshopped as they come.”
“If they were gonna photoshop him in, they would definitely have made it look less obvious.”
This photoshop speculation comes after Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race in July due to his failing health.
The 81-year-old – the oldest US leader in history – made a series of painful gaffes during his re-election campaign.
During his TV debate with Trump, Biden – whose poor performance was blamed on “a bad cold” – stumbled and lost track during sentences.
Just weeks later, he mistakenly introduced Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” before mixing up Kamala Harris with Donald Trump.
Addressing the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, he said: “Now I want to hand over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentleman, President Putin.”
He quickly correctly himself, saying: “Going to beat President Putin, President Zelensky. I am so focused on beating Putin” but later suffered another blunder at a press conference.
When asked about Kamala Harris’s abilities as second-in-command, he said: “Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President [if I] think she was not qualified to be president.”
