FACT CHECK: Were these photos released by the White House of Donald Trump signing papers with a sharpie at Walter Reed Medical Center last night staged?

In this thread, I will discuss (but the short answer is, "yes")

These photos appear to show the President signing documents with a sharpie and doing work from the Presidential suite at Walter Reed. However, a closer examination shows that Trump was merely signing his name to a blank white piece of paper. (thread)

The photos, which appear to have been taken at two different times in two different rooms, have one thing in common. All of the props! It looks as though every piece of paper, folder, book, sharpie and pamphlet were shown in both photos. (credit: @JRehling) (Thread)

The most extraordinary evidence that these photos of Trump signing his name with a sharpie were staged, is the fact that the photos were taken just 9:41 seconds apart. The EXIF data embedded on the original AP photos shows this! (credit: @jonostrower)
