I remember when the cert first became public. I asked my very apolitical (at the time, now she's full MAGA) graphic designer wife to look at it and see if she saw anything suspicious and just left it at that.
After looking at it for an hour, her first sentence was "A freaking ficus tree could see that this is a phony, edited document."
The source video here is spot on. It's an embarrassingly bad forgery. New tech makes it a little easier to see that fact, but it was easy back then as well.
