when @Trump_History45 was criticized by a user for using AI to generate the image, they responded with "This is a photograph," essentially denying that it is AI-generated.

the image is in fact AI-generated.

[Kevin D. Reyes @KevinDReyes]

the infamous @Trump_History45 reposted one of their AI images of trump with black people for #juneteenth, stating "Black people love Trump!"

a recent @NYAmNews investigation revealed the account is secretly run by a @prageru social media manager
