A video circulating online appears to show a televised phone call in which former US president and Republican nominee Donald Trump seemingly insults soldiers on Fox News. But this is not a real broadcast and features an impersonator’s voice. 

The footage shows a TV screen that appears to show a live call with Mr Trump broadcast on the Fox News channel. Alongside a photo of him, text says: “On the phone President Donald Trump” and he supposedly says: “The amount of stupidity it would take to do that. I don’t even possess that on my worst day. Excuse me I wouldn’t be in battle because I’m not some dumbf**k redneck who gets called into war and volunteers for stupid service and conflicts.” 

It has been shared with captions including: “He talks about the…

Donald Trump and Livingston County Sheriff Michael Murphy

Livingston County Sheriff Michael Murphy served on the Board of Directors for the LOCASA Center, which provides services for victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual violence.

But Steve Neavling  of Metro Times, citing unnamed sources,  reports that many board members were furious and called on Murphy to resign after he decided two weeks ago to host Donald Trump at his office for a campaign speech and press conference. Murphy ended up resigning.

The Michigan Bureau of Elections is investigating Murphy after Metro Times reported that he may have violated state law by using taxpayer resources to support a political candidate.

An image is being shared online with false claims it shows the US Secret Service agents who escorted Donald Trump away after he was shot were not wearing earpieces.

The photo, which has been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, has the caption: “Apparently Secret Service agents are now on leave as the investigation grows. 

“Trump apparently never went to the hospital?!?! 

“Someone made a great point – none of these Secret Service agents have their earpieces in…”

In the image being shared, the Republican presidential candidate is being helped off stage by a number of Secret Service agents wearing suits, who do not appear to be wearing earpieces.

It captures the seconds after the assassination attempt on Mr Trump at a rally in Butler,…

A photo of former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump is being shared online with the claim it’s a recent photo—allegedly proving an assassination attempt on his life was “fake”. 

The photo is of the side of Mr Trump’s face and magnifies his right ear. Overlaid text says: “This was an image from Team Trump released yesterday, showing his right ear. Where’s the scar or sutures from being hit in the ear?”

Mr Trump’s right ear was injured in an attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania, on 13 July. One member of the audience, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were seriously injured. 

However, this is not a recent photo shared by his team “yesterday”, as claimed. The photo dates back…

A doctored photo of Hitler has been shared in social media posts with the suggestion it closely resembles a photo of Donald Trump after his attempted assassination.

The posts share a black and white collage showing a photo of Mr Trump moments after he was shot at alongside a photo of Hitler seemingly in almost exactly the same position. Some versions of the image are being shared amongst claims the assassination attempt was staged.

Both photos supposedly show the men flanked by a man and woman in similar positions, with the US and Nazi flags respectively in the backgrounds. 

Overlaid text on one post says “To see it in B&W is chilling. Both are exactly the same”.

However, the photo of Hitler has been edited in multiple ways to resemble a photo of Mr Trump captured…
