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.

Elton John has said he thought Donald Trump referring to Kim Jong Un as “little rocket man” was “brilliant”.The former President used John’s 1972 single ‘Rocket Man’ as the inspiration for his nickname for the North Korean dictator, and in an interview with Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, the singer has given his view on his song being used in the back-and-forth.“I laughed, I thought that was brilliant,” he said. “I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times.
