"After the explosive story was published on Tuesday, numerous social media users have taken to analyzing Vanity Fairs choice of photos for the piece, noting that there may be some expert-level trolling at work: Vanity fair is known for airbrushed touch ups and bombshells. They can make your face look like there's not a single pore or blemish on it. They knew exactly what they were doing here. pic.twitter.com/ORtVOOPXVQ Bre S (@fearmeitsbre) December 16, 2025"
"The orange stain on the nose, the injection marks on the lips, the nose hairs. Vanity Fair knows how to airbrush stuff out. This was fully on purpose. Bravo. pic.twitter.com/gSIkV4JCcr The Dread duck Pirate Mark Brooks (@MarkBrooksArt) December 17, 2025 Kendall Brown, a former photojournalist, posted a TikTok video that lays out metaphors of a two-faced JD Vance, Marco Rubio never looking at the camera, and the fact that Karoline Leavitt's lip-injection marks are visible in a striking close-up."
"Rubio was among those speaking out, claiming the photos were manipulated to make the WH team look bad. It is obvious to most people that Vanity Fair deliberately manipulated pictures and reported statements without context to try and make the WH team look bad And there is nobody more loyal or committed to President Trump's mission than Susie Wiles. She is one of the main reasons Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) December 17, 2025"
Susie Wiles's statements were paired with prominent photographs of Trump White House staff that many social media users scrutinized for possible manipulation. Observers pointed to apparent airbrushing choices and unflattering details such as orange discoloration on a nose, visible nose hairs, and lip-injection marks. A former photojournalist highlighted metaphors and striking close-ups that suggested intentional image selection. Social media posts and videos amplified those observations. Senator Marco Rubio and other allies publicly defended Wiles and accused the images of deliberate manipulation aimed at making the White House team look bad, framing the photos as unfair portrayals.
