There's a FAKE photo of Trump banners on the Kennedy Center circulating on social media. DON'T fall for it, and

[highplainsdem]

please don't circulate it as if it's real.

This is what's being circulated:

I saw it being circulated by a liberal Twitter account with over 80,000 followers, and that tweet had more than quarter million views and thousands of likes and reposts already, just several hours after he posted the meme.

The image is a PHOTO ILLUSTRATION - art that started with a real photo and was altered - for a Feb. 13 Daily Beast opinion piece:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-quiet-over-trump-kennedy-222253075.html

The opinion piece, about Trump and the Kennedy Center, ends with this question

How long before we see a Trump banner unfurled on the facade of the Kennedy Center?

and the illustration was done for that.

Some malicious troll put that illustration, which AFAIK got little attention at the time of publication last month, into the meme above, and it's now going viral.

Please do NOT spread this idiocy. Trump is creating enough real harms to worry about.

Circulating this meme just makes liberals look foolish and/or untrustworthy.

1. If you see that troll-created meme posted here by someone who fell for it, please correct them

immediately.

I saw someone on Twitter actually ask Perplexity AI if the photo was real, and the idiot chatbot's Twitter account replied that it apparently was.

2. I'm beginning to think we are doomed just because it's getting harder to discern truth. This one seems obvious,

but people will believe it. Of course, I saw some trump ads against VP Harris that were similar misinformation.

But the thought of trump controlling/directing that center is appalling.
