WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump has been mocked online as he reportedly shared a fake photo of Mike Tyson on his social media page, claiming the boxer endorsed him.

On May 29, the former president posted a photo on his Truth Social account depicting Tyson wearing a pro-Trump t-shirt bearing the message, “If you don't like Trump then you probably won't like me...and I'm OK with that.”



 

Trump captioned the image with the words, "Thank you, Mike!"

Contrary to the depiction, as reported by Ok! Magazine, the image originated from a video shared by Mike Tyson on X in March of this year. The text on the t-shirt in the photo reads, “Sign the contract, big boy. Sign the contract."

A user of X wrote, “Because everything about Trump is fake. Geezus!”



 

Another user tweeted, “Desperate much…”



 

A user commented, “Oops!!! He's fake all these while and everything that has to do with him is fake as well. Enough reason not to trust the polls because they could be faked in his favor. Just damn get out and vote!!!!!” [sic]



 



 

Another user stated, “Haha. Funny. Trump thought his ego was more inflated, (IF THATS EVEN POSSIBLE), since he thought Tyson was backing him. He should have known it was fake as Tyson has spoken out against Trump before. Goes to show you can't trust pics and videos since today they are EASILY FAKED!” [sic]



 

“Trump is faking endorsements and crowd size because he is a FAKE!!” one more user asserted.



 

“Someone needs to photoshop a pic of Trump wearing Biden merch!🤣🤣🤣,” a person joked.



 

Another added, “And now let's get back to the real world instead of blindly believing dear leader posting bad photoshops.”

Donald Trump lied about Justice Juan Merchan

Previously, Trump has faced accusations of lying. On May 29, he purportedly claimed that Justice Juan Merchan "is not requiring a unanimous decision" to find him guilty in the hush money trial.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 19: Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media at the end of the day during his criminal trial as jury selection continues at Manhattan Criminal Court on April 19, 2024 in New York City. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 presidential election.

Trump falsely wrote on Truth Social, “IT IS RIDICULOUS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND UNAMERICAN that the highly Conflicted, Radical Left Judge is not requiring a unanimous decision on the fake charges against me brought by Soros backed DA Alvin Bragg.” [sic]

“A THIRD WORLD ELECTION INTERFERENCE HOAX!” he added.

Contrary to Trump's assertion, the judge actually instructed the jury that they "need not be unanimous on whether the defendant committed the crime personally, or by acting in concert with another, or both."

The Independent reported that Justice Juan Merchan clarified, "Although you must conclude unanimously that the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were."
