Fact Check: Viral image is likely AI-generated
The picture of Trump in the White House with a walker is not real.
No reputable news organization has confirmed the viral image, and the evidence that is available indicates that the image has been fabricated or altered in some way.
The photo, therefore, ought to be considered a piece of disinformation if there is no incontrovertible photographic evidence or reliable reporting.
By all accounts, it appears to be an edited or AI-generated picture.
Grok also fact-checked people sharing the photo, saying, “The image appears to be digitally altered or AI-generated. No credible news reports confirm Trump using a walker in December 2025, though the executive order on AI regulation is real.”
Lately, Trump got offended over constant speculation about his health.
To a large extent, in his Truth Social post, Trump answered about his health.

They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it,” Trump wrote.
