This photo still gets me. Jimmy Carter's height was 5'7. Jill Biden's height is 5'6. Yes, some people do shrink as they age, but generally they lose at most about 2-3 inches. That's it. Many don't lose any height at all. Either Jill grew and has a tumor on her pituitary gland or he turned into a midget.
MSM was trying to say the shrinkage was due to using a wide angle lens. Erm...
Why are they so much bigger than the Carter’s? Gas/energy shortages and out of control inflation is what Carter is famous for. It is rubbing our faces in their steaming load of shit.
The lenses excuse really made me laugh. What portrait photographer takes a wide angle lenses and attempts to achieve this look on purpose? The way a wide angle lenses works it’s effects are constant across the image and would skew the proportions more evenly. Not differentiating between one subject and the other like a photoshop job. I read intention and manipulation all over this image. Unless some new fancy circus mirror lens came out, no lens can achieves this effect. Why would anyone intentionally want to do this to a portrait image? The premise is ridiculous.
Ask Kinds of proportion red flags here that Don’t with To lens math. I agree and think this helps state your point visually: https://greatawakening.win/p/12iNnUjQmJ/
To be 100% fair, the more you try to fit into one shot with lenses, the more distortion is possible. This image does seem strange but its very possible its just the eyes playing tricks. I'm not saying its not faked, very well could be. But at the same time, ignoring the possibility of a very simple solution isn't doing yourself any favors.
It is wise not to jump to conclusions, but different filters or lenses do not cause visual distortion to targeted subjects in a photo(that requires software) Jimmy Carter and Jill Biden are holding hands, therefore a wide angle lens would leave visual distortion between them. Get what I mean? A wide angle lens would not crop jill and joe biden selectively or vice versa. https://expertphotography.com/wide-angle-lens/
I spent a little extra time looking at the photo. The most obvious revealing detail to me is the separate lighting. Jill and joe have hot spots on their forheads from overhead studio lights. The carters were photographed in their home under normal lights and have no shine (this is lighting not make up). They did a good job getting similar directions and depth of light for the general untrained eye, but if you look closely the details decry the idea the two couples were photographed together.
And your key point remains, no lenses I know work the way they say these lenses work. It’s not a simple answer if it’s contrary to reality. It sounds simple to those who don’t know how photography works and that’s their go to lately. Good enough an excuse for how intelligent they think their audience is.
Interesting catch.

Carters. No apostrophe needed to pluralize.
But yes, I think you are spot on about the reference to shortages.

It’s clearly not a wide angle lens; there’s no distortion in perspective on the things in the room, cept the Carters.

Wide angle lens? The shit they make up....
If they stood up, the furniture would only be to their knees! Something fishy definitely going on here!
has a very alice in wonderland feel to it

Do not be a "complicity theorist".
Ooo I like this term “complicity theorists”

If you remove the background of the image somewhere like here it is VERY revealing that photo trickery was used here
