Faked images of black voters with Trump are a growing disinformation trend in the US election, the BBC finds.

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.”

    His eyes are looking in different directions while his face is hanging off his body oddly. It looks like AI, lmao.

      You’re kind of describing the IRL Trump here.
