Are you discounting the possibility of body doubles dask?
Yes, too much of a stretch.
It wasn't needed because he left the G7 in Canada around 10:30am on the 9th which would be 7:30 pacific time (local time of the camera. AF1 has a cruising speed of 315mph and if it had flown west, it would have been in that area at around 3:30 pm on the 9th at that speed, over 12 hours before the missile pic.
Why would a double be needed? Nobody would have even taken that shot, at that time, in that place, knowing he was half way around the world from his public schedule.
ETA: Seems the 315mph cruise speed was for an older version and the current version has a cruising speed of 580mph, so that would put it even further from skunk bay at the time of the pic.

In that same /pol/ thread, it was pointed out, or "nooticed," that the bark on the tree directly behind him in the photo indicates that he is actually in the state of Virginia, as it is a type of tree exclusive to that region and no where else.

I would criticize his $30 mechanic's gloves you can buy off Amazon, but apparently special operators like them. Personally, I would go for the Mechanix M-PACT Agilite. There is no way I would try to stuff a gloved finger through a trigger guard unless it was freezing outside.
In 1980, as a result of the November 4, 1979, seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and Iran’s holding of American hostages, the Army established an ad hoc organization known as the Field Operations Group (FOG) to gather intelligence in support of a rescue mission. In the aftermath of the failed mission the Army transformed the FOG into what was intended to be a permanent organization (Document 7, Document 16) – the United States Intelligence Support Activity (USAISA).
USAISA was established as a “black” or compartmented activity whose existence was not only not disclosed to the public but also not revealed to Congress. However, eventual public disclosure – partially due to media accounts – led the House Permanent Select Committee (HPSCI) to complain in 1982 (Document 8) about its being kept in the dark. Appearances before the HPSCI by Army intelligence chief William Odom and Director of Central Intelligence William Casey followed (Document 10, Document 11).
A memo from the ISA commander in March 1989 (Document 20) directed termination of the use of the terms Intelligence Support Activity and its associated codename, GRANTOR SHADOW. That would signal not the end of the organization and its activities but its reestablishment as a compartmented program that would be known by a number of names (e.g. Tactical Coordination Detachment, U.S. Army Security Coordination Detachment, Mission Support Activity, Task Force Orange) and codenames (CENTRA SPIKE, GREY FOX, INTREPID SPEAR) over the ensuing years.

How in light of what we now know about Head masks can you discount it so willy nilly?
Do you think these Cabal lack the will to do those kind of things with it avaiable at their fingertips?
Did a “broken generation” of soldiers returning from World War II spawn America’s so-called “golden age” of serial killers?
That’s the shocking hypothesis put forth by author Peter Vronsky, whose third book, “Sons of Cain: A History of Serial Killers from the Stone Age to the Present,” catalogs 17,000 years of homicidal maniacs, from Cain to Jack the Ripper to the Green River Killer.
While researching his exhaustive history, Vronsky mined for reasons behind the atrocities he was documenting, specifically what was behind the enormous glut of serial killers between 1950 and 2000.
The controversial conclusion he reached to explain the 2,065 butchers who grabbed headlines for spilling blood in the second half of the 20th century: A “hidden surge of war-traumatized fathers” returned home from battlefields in Europe and the Pacific and spawned a generation of murderous emotional cripples.
So can we expect another serial killing surge around 2030?
Yes, and certainly that crash of 2008, sure, that changed a lot of families around the world. It destroyed families in a way that we still don’t appreciate or have been able to accurately measure. So when we start talking to those serial killers, the stories we might hear is: “We were living as a family in a home and come 2008, my dad committed suicide. My dad lost his job. He became a drug addict. He was an alcoholic. He was never the same. He lost his pride and I lost my dad.” That may be the emerging narrative.
