Trump supporters share AI images of Trump saving cats and ducks
Trump supporters have been sharing AI-generated images of Donald Trump protecting cats and ducks after unsubstantiated claims that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets. JD Vance and the Trump campaign repeated the accounts on social media. Springfield city officials said there had been no credible reports of pets being harmed by immigrants. The AI images were presented as political memes, and at least one image was malformed, showing duck-like animals with cat heads.
