I Google Lensed this picture and the "AI Answer" at the top of the page cracked me up, so here it is:

"The image displays a social media post that highlights a visual comparison between images of Benito Mussolini and Joseph Goebbels. The user suggests that a Vanity Fair photographer intentionally took a photo of a person (presumably a contemporary political figure, based on related social media posts) in a way that visually mimics the composition of historical photos of the two fascist leaders. Benito Mussolini was the founder of Italian Fascism and leader of the National Fascist Party. Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany. The post implies a critical political commentary by drawing a parallel between the subjects of the photos."

However, it's not Benito Mussolini on the left.

I know, it's Stephen Miller, that's why I laughed. Google AI apparently thought, "bald Nazi, must be Mussolini."

It's an understandable mistake.

Also, it's more likely that an unmodified photography of Goebbels and Mussolini exists.

I'll be honest, just the thumbnail - looks like Mussolini.
