claim: A photograph shows President Trump with balloons stuffed into his shirt.
origin: In June 2017, a streamÂ of hoax images featuring now-president DonaldÂ Trump appeared on social media, pushed by Twitter accounts such as @TrumpSnapshotsÂ with no explanation or context. One suchÂ pictureÂ appeared to show a sweaty-looking Trump with balloons stuffed into his shirt: This is not genuine; it is anÂ image was created by digitally manipulatingÂ Trumpâ€™s face onto another personâ€™s body. The same tactic was used to create a faked image of Trump wearing a diaper, partying with Liberace, and posing with a stripper. Here is the original photograph, which was evidently culled from an eBay listing: The eBay pageÂ for this photograph did not provide much information aboutÂ the photograph, other than it was apparently takenÂ at some point duringÂ the 1970s. Regardless, itÂ is not a photograph of Donald Trump in any decade.
