Also, it's amazing what you can create these days and that goes for both sides of the debate.

I bet there's somebody out there that could take a picture of me from now and turn it into a child photo. And also turn me into a pensioner and make it look realistic.

I find this (along with the demands that she "should" post one to "prove something" to people) really quite unsettling ... why should any woman have to post pictures of themself pregnant on the internet to combat a conspiracy theory? . I'm pretty sure the Obamas couldn't care less about these theories.

I've just had a look at both me and my wife's old social media accounts and hey - - there are no pictures of her pregnant online either. There are loads from when she was younger, and many of her since the kids were born, but none pregnant. The reason? She didn't particularly like people taking pictures of her when she was pregnant.

Perhaps Michelle Obama doesn't like pictures of herself when she's visibly pregnant? Why on earth should she then have to "provide" those to slackjawed Joe Public to "prove" that she isn't secretly a man?

Utterly insane.
