Fact Check: Did Trump post an AI image of Lady Liberty delivering a baby version of himself?
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump has previously shared altered images on his Truth Social account, which has often fueled online speculation and rumors.
Recently, social media users claimed that Trump posted an AI-generated image showing himself as Jesus delivering a “baby Trump” from the Statue of Liberty. But is the image authentic? Let’s fact-check the claim.
Claim: Trump shared AI image delivering baby from Statue of Liberty
Since late April and into May 2026, social media users have claimed that Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself, depicted in a Jesus-like form, delivering a “baby Trump” from the Statue of Liberty.
The image has been widely circulated online and presented as a screenshot from his Truth Social account.
The origin of the claim remains unclear, although several accounts reshared content from Instagram user “adam.the.creator,” whose post showed a similar depiction accompanied by the caption: “This man has lost his damn mind.” The image quickly sparked debate across platforms, with users questioning its authenticity. One commenter wrote, “Is this for real? I don’t ever know anymore. I hate it here.”
The post gained further traction given Trump’s history of sharing digitally altered or AI-generated images portraying himself in religious or symbolic imagery. On April 12, 2026, a similar image surfaced showing him in white robes and a red sash resembling traditional depictions of Jesus Christ.
The post was later deleted from his Truth Social feed by April 13. Trump later told reporters he had shared the image but believed it depicted him as a doctor rather than a religious figure.
Fact Check: Trump did not share a post of him delivering a baby Trump
There is no evidence that Donald Trump posted the image on any of his official social media accounts. A review of his Truth Social account, along with archived versions of his posts, shows no record of the alleged image being shared or uploaded.
Instead, the image circulating online contains a watermark linked to the account “adam.the.creator,” which has previously published similar AI-generated and manipulated visuals on Instagram and Facebook. The same content has been widely reshared by other social media users, contributing to the spread of the claim.
The original post appears to have been published on the creator’s Instagram account on April 29.
The account is known for producing digitally created memes and fictional imagery, including AI-generated content. Previous fact-checks have also identified misleading images originating from the same source.
Reverse image searches and checks of credible news archives show no authenticated reports confirming that the image was posted by Trump. Given the absence of supporting evidence and the identifiable alternate source, the claim is false.
