Fact Check: Did Trump post his image dressed as footballer surrounded by male cheerleaders?
WASHINGTON, DC: Amid criticisms against his frequent posting on AI slopes, an image began circulating on social media platforms showing a post by President Donald Trump, showing himself dressed as a footballer and surrounded by male cheerleaders. Let us analyze the image and fact-check the claim’s authenticity.
Claim: Donald Trump posts image of himself as a football star
The claim spread as a screenshot purporting to show a post by Trump on his official Truth Social handle. The alleged post shows an image of Trump as a muscular football player surrounded by shirtless male cheerleaders.
Those reacting to the alleged post tried linking it to Pride Month and his recent visit to Walter Reed, where the physician declared the president to be in “excellent health.”
Although most comments indicated that netizens believed it was a real post by Trump, a few others remained skeptical and questioned its authenticity.
Fact Check: Fake, no such post exists on Donald Trump's account
The image, however, is fake, as Trump made no such post. A search on his Truth Social account revealed no such post.
A reverse image search for the image showed only those posts that shared the image. It also revealed that the fake post appeared to originate from an X account that frequently publishes content intended to troll Trump and his supporters.
The original post was accompanied by a caption stating, “The medical results are in, and President Trump is our healthiest leader in American history. At 6'3", 238 pounds of muscle, and an ass that could crack Zeus's walnuts, Straightriotism is on the rise while vegan girlfriends can dance alone."
Also, the purported screenshot does not match authentic Truth Social posts, as evident from its missing a timestamp that would typically appear next to Trump's handle.
Donald Trump posts AI video of him filling Lincoln Memorial pool with liberal tears
The screenshot surfaced amid Trump’s frequent posting of AI slopes. The most recent example is an AI-generated video showing himself using “liberal tears” to fill the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The clip shows him standing beside the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, holding a hose and blasting water into the basin, with a woman behind him sitting on her knees wearing a diving helmet filled with tears, presented in the video as the source of the water supply.
Trump smiles toward the camera while continuing to “fill” the pool using the fictional setup.
