Trump Posts AI Image of Him as a Professional Football Player – Fact Checkers Actually Feel Need to Clarify It’s AI

Donald Trump’s visit to the Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 20 upset the right people, namely the mainstream media.

The former president stopped off at the NFL during his visit to Pennsylvania, which also saw him work his first shift in McDonald’s. He watched on as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Jets 37-15, much to the delight of the home crowd.

It wasn’t just the scenes on the pitch which got the tens of thousands in attendance roaring on their feet. Trump’s presence, which was only aired once by host broadcaster NBC, prompted loud chants of “U-S-A” during the game.

Now Available: Trump ‘Keep Fighting’ Bobblehead

The Republican candidate clearly enjoyed his visit to Pittsburgh, and even posted an AI-generated image of him donning a Steelers uniform in playing conditions on Truth Social. Remarkably, Newsweek decided this obviously fake image needed clarification, dedicating an entire article to Trump’s post.

Noting that Trump’s torso and arms “have also been altered to appear more muscular than they do in other photos”, Newsweek confirmed their suspicions through two AI-detectors.

The hilarity of the article was picked up by many, including X CEO Linda Yaccarino and owner Elon Musk.

Likely AI generated…..

Many were grateful for the clarification.

Thanks @Newsweek I thought this was real. Had no clue.

Oh wow, I really thought 78 year old Trump was working McDonalds by day and playing professional football at night.

Thanks Newsweek ‍
