It seemed harmless enough, until Eric Ming, digital director for Maryland Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards’ Senate campaign, accused Trump’s campaign of photoshopping the model to “be brown.”

Ming then tweeted a link to JCG Apparel’s website, where model with much lighter skin models what he says is the same T-shirt.

According to BuzzFeed, there are “many indicators” that Trump’s image has been Photoshopped – the models have similar markings on their chest, identical hair and “both photos have light peeking out in seemingly identical ways, as demonstrated on the photo on the left.” Plus, the jeans are the exact same shade of light blue.
And according to design experts over at BuzzFeed, the skin colour on the Trump model “isn’t really even one that is comparable to that of a real human being, because it is too even of a tone.”
Twitter users seem to agree.
