Summary

In May 2026, an AI-generated image depicting U.S. President Donald Trump as Jesus delivering a ‘baby Trump’ from the Statue of Liberty circulated on social media as an alleged screenshot from his Truth Social account. Fact-checkers verified that Trump did not post this specific image on any of his accounts, including Truth Social, X, or archives of deleted posts. The image contained a watermark from an Instagram user, adam.the.creator, who has a history of publishing similar fake AI-generated content. While Trump did share and delete a different AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure in April 2026, the specific image in question was not posted by him.
