Following the arrest of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump came to the fore again with a fake image he shared on the social media platform Truth Social. This time, Trump shared with his followers a manipulated photo showing US Vice President Kamala Harris with Combs.
Trump is on the agenda again with a fake photo!
In the image, a photo of Harris taken in 2001 with former talk show host Montel Williams and his daughter was altered and Williams‘ face was replaced with Combs’. Under the image shared by Trump, it was questioned whether Harris had attended Combs’ alleged “crazy” parties.
This is not the first time Trump has shared fake images for his campaign. He has previously shared fake AI-generated photos of Taylor Swift endorsing him and a fake image of Harris speaking to communists at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Harris’s campaign declined to comment on the matter, while the Trump front has yet to comment on the process.
Trump announced his own cryptocurrency platform, The DeFiant Ones. It is unclear for now what the former President aims with this project.
Combs was arrested last week on charges of blackmail and transporting people for prostitution. In the indictment, it is alleged that the victims were forced to work and made submissive with drugs in sex acts called ‘freak off’, which lasted for days.
On the other hand, Trump and Harris had previously interacted with Combs. In 2020, Harris praised a meeting where Combs addressed the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on Black communities, while Trump spoke of Combs as ‘a good friend, a great guy’ on a television programme in 2012.
