The Big Viral Moments of 2020 That Were Totally Fake

Grotesque Viral Photo of President Trump Actually Fake

A bizarre photo of President Donald Trump made the rounds far and wide on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit this year, but the image wasn’t quite authentic. The fake image was created by Vic Berger IV, a viral video and image creator who works with comedians Tim & Eric. The original photo was taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci in Minneapolis on October 10, 2019, at one of Trump’s neo-fascist rallies.
