BBC Panorama discovered dozens of deepfakes portraying black people as supporting the former president.
Mr Trump has openly courted black voters, who were key to Joe Biden’s election win in 2020.
But there’s no evidence directly linking these images to Mr Trump’s campaign.
The co-founder of Black Voters Matter, a group which encourages black people to vote, said the manipulated images were pushing a “strategic narrative” designed to show Mr Trump as popular in the black community.
A creator of one of the images told the BBC: “I’m not claiming it’s accurate.”
You can tell it’s fake because his hands are normal-size
You can tell it’s fake because he’s interacting warmly with black people.
Trump is happy to be around any black person willing to listen to his racist tirades and still kiss his ass. Because they’re “one of the good ones.”
Wasn’t Kanye a trump supporter?
Yeah, and a Hitler-lover. I’m not sure that really endears him to the black community.
Do black people not like Kanye?
I don’t listen to his music so I don’t really know. Are most of his fans white? Though if they were nazis you’d think they wouldn’t be fans of a black musician. It’s all so confusing.

black peopleanyone.Multiple hands and fingers are messed up in these pictures which gives them away. We’ll really be screwed whenever AI gets the hang of fingers. Or if people generating them become smart enough to fix it afterwards.
Another giveaway is the writing on the dude’s hat (upper left). I always check the hands and any text in the image. Those are dead giveaways.
I enjoyed the pic (further down the article) with 3 arms. I mean it’s so obvious, and your brain says there’s something wrong, yet people still believe the bs.
In this case though? Mostly white Trump voters are believing this. Pretty much everyone else realizes it’s bullshit. So it wasn’t even worth the time to make the images.
And everyone has about 87 teeth.
You can actually tell because his hand is messed up. There’s no nail on the pinky or pointer and the fingers sre blurring into her shoulder.
