Trump Shares AI-Generated Images Claiming Swifties Are Supporting Him

Wired  

Former president Donald Trump has shared AI-generated images that falsely claim Taylor Swift fans are supporting his campaign. In a post on Truth Social, Trump shared screenshots of four posts on X that purport to show a number of young women all wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts in a variety of styles. Using a tool created by nonprofit True Media to detect the spread of election-related deepfakes, WIRED found that many of the images shared by Trump show “substantial evidence of manipulation.” One of the screenshots Trump shared was from an anonymous pro-Trump account with over 300,000 followers that regularly posts AI-generated images. She has also strongly criticized Trump: After Trump made his infamous “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” comment in 2020 following Black Lives Matter protests in support of George Floyd, the pop superstar slammed the then-president for having “the nerve to feign moral superiority” after “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency.”
