A conservative outlet posted manipulated images of one of Donald Trump's fringe-right allies in an article about plastic surgery at Trump's Florida resort, according to allegations from some MAGA influencers.
The Daily Mail on Saturday published an article entitled, "Plastic surgeons explain rise of the 'Mar-A-Lago' face," in which a photo of Trump associate Laura Loomer was used. Loomer, who has been embraced and amplified by the president-elect, recently expressed outrage over one of Trump's guests at Mar-a-Lago.
In response to the story, Loomer said the image had been altered.

"This is honestly so outrageous. @MailOnline now using obviously photoshopped pictures of Trump supporters they don’t like to get clicks. The child has been photoshopped with a mustache and my face has been photoshopped by Daily Mail," the activist wrote. "Is this what Daily Mail passes as 'journalism' now? Manipulating images of people they don’t like? This is what my face looks like. Daily Mail should delete their post and practice real journalism."
Loomer went on to say in a separate post, "All of the pictures they use of me when they want to attack me are altered. It’s because they have to make things up and photoshop me in order to attack me because they don’t have anything damning to actually attack me with."
"Lies lies lies and more lies. Guess I’m doing something right if they have to do that. Stupid," she then wrote.
Popular MAGA account Futurist™ also claimed to be victimized, saying in response, "I
as part of a plastic surgery story involving MAGA supporters. The photograph depicted my son with a mustache. No my son doesn't have a mustache at 13. No, Laura Loomer doesn't look like the doctored image in real life."
Another popular account on X, Ty’s Tough Talk, said, "
is absolutely wrong," the account then added. "It takes two seconds to see she doesn’t look like that and never has. These leftist media ghouls will latch onto anything."
