Watchdogs and fans said many of the images posted by Trump appeared to be deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence.
Former US President Donald Trump has posted a fake social media image of pop superstar Taylor Swift asking people to vote for him in the November election.
A Sunday entry by the Republican candidate on his Truth Social platform showed Swift dressed in red, white and blue with a caption that said “Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump”.
“I accept!” Trump wrote.
Swift has not publicly endorsed a candidate in the 2024 race but has supported Democrats in the past.
The singer backed President Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris in 2020. Harris is set to be formally nominated as the 2024 Democratic candidate at the party’s national convention in Chicago this week. Swift also criticised Trump in a 2020 documentary.
A spokesperson for Swift did not respond to a request for comment.
