Are the Photos Showing Trump Arrested Real?
It was claimed that the photos included in the post shared by a Twitter account on March 23, 2023, show the moments of the arrest of former US President Donald Trump.
Photos Created with Artificial Intelligence
Claims that the photos in question show Trump while he was arrested began to be shared all over the world after first spreading in the USA. On March 21, 2023, various social media users shared these photos and received high interaction. In the example below, it is seen that one of the posts received over 76 thousand likes on Instagram. However, in the description of the account that shared this post, it says that the account shares satirical and parody content.
Shared footage shows New York Police Department officers appearing to rein in Trump as he resists. Another of the shared images shows Trump running away from the cops. A closer look at the images shows distorted faces and hands, as well as distorted text on police officers’ uniforms. In one photo, Trump is also seen wearing a police belt.
Former US president Trump is facing possible charges in New York for making a “hush” payment to adult movie star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Although investigations into the matter continue, Trump has not been arrested. The NYPD also announced that the ex-president was not arrested upon the spread of the said footage.

The claim is WRONG
It was claimed that the photos included in the post shared by a Twitter account on March 23, 2023, show the moments of the arrest of former US President Donald Trump. However, the New York Police Department announced that it did not make any arrests after the photos were released. In addition, Eliot Higgins, who shared the images for the first time, said that he made these frames using the artificial intelligence tool Midjourney v5. As of April 2023, Trump’s court process continues.
