    What would they need to take time to do? If the photos were AI fakes, it would take about ten seconds to prove it. Then you laugh them off dismissively and move on. This “no comment” stuff is precisely why the photos are gaining credibility.

      Yeah maybe, but every second you spend defending or deflecting that kind of thing is a win for blue team. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. If you are reacting, you are losing. Tbh the pictures could be real too, in which case he definitely can’t talk about it because the opposition would eat him alive, even if the reality were pretty unremarkable.

        If they’re real - and frankly, they do seem to be - eventually he’ll have to address it, because no-commenting every time they’re brought up will just make it look like he has something to hide.
