It does not give him any credibility to call that story "fake news" because not a single fact in the story was fake.  The picture does not change a single fact reported.  What if they had just used a stock drawing of a child?  Would that make the story "Fake news"?

If a news source uses a photo that changes the facts of the story then that is a big problem.  If the photo does not change a single fact in the story then you have to be a Trump sycophant to call it "fake news".

If you say he has a point then tell me what part of the story you now doubt is true based on the photo.

Was the photo news?

Was it fake?

At this point you're just arguing to argue.

The fact that the photo was fake doesn't give Trump any credibility. It gives his claims of fake new legitimacy.

It's OK, You can still not like him and admit the photo adds legitimacy to the claims of fake news or you can continue to be irrational. I've got a good idea which option you'll pick.
