Donald Trump shares fake image of Kamala Harris with Diddy following rapper’s arrest

The doctored image has quickly been debunked

by · NME

Donald Trump has shared a fake image of Kamala Harris appearing in a photograph alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

The picture was posted on the former president’s Truth Social website and shared by TMZ, with the image implying that the Vice President attended one of Diddy’s sex events called “freak offs”.

The rapper was arrested in New York this week and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting for prostitution. It followed a string of sexual misconduct allegations filed against him over the past year.

He was quickly denied bail after his arrest, with the latest reports claiming that he had been placed on suicide watch as he awaits trial.

The indictment alleges that Diddy and his associates would coerce victims into participating in days-long “freak offs”, which were “elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.”

“Kamala doing the Diddy? Madam Vice President, have you ever been involved with or engaged in one of Puff Daddy’s freak offs?” a caption read over the photo, which also features another woman.

The photo shared by Trump was indeed doctored, and the original image actually featured the Democratic presidential nominee with her ex Montel Williams and his daughter Ashley at the 2001 Race to Erase Multiple Sclerosis.

This is hardly the first time Trump has shared falsified images online during his ongoing campaign for reelection.

The Republican nominee falsely claimed Taylor Swift’s endorsement with a series of AI-generated posts. He later addressed the incident by claiming: “Somebody else generated them”.

The Trump campaign this month also released a t-shirt designed very similarly to Swift‘s ‘Eras’ tour merch.

Swift has since officially endorsed Harris, leading to a reported 500 per cent increase in voter registration. Trump responded by saying the pop star will “probably pay a price” for endorsing Harris.

Trump and Harris went head-to-head in their first presidential debate earlier this month, ahead of the polls opening on November 5.
