Question

Donald Trump posted on social media that "thicc Latinas will not be deported."

Comments

This is not true. The comment was clearly photoshopped, and when you look on Twitter, it cannot be found. The website it comes from seems to be satire and made for jokes. Many memes similar to this appear on instagram, tik tok, etc. You can easily erase old text and put larger text over it to make it look like celebrities are saying out of character or offensives things. This one, although hard to tell, is not true.

Thank you for debunking this false claim. Fake news is extremely easy to come by in this age of technology and social media. It's important to be a critical media user so that polarization doesn't get out of hand.

Answer 1

Donald Trump did not in fact tweet that "thicc Latinas will not be deported." This post's link goes to someone's Bluesky account where they have posted what looks like a screenshot of a tweet by Donald Trump saying "thicc Latinas will not be deported." On his actual Twitter, I can't find the tweet. The Bluesky account looks like they post political memes and this would be no exception. This would be an easy thing to forge with a little photo editing and theres even a website where you can make up funny Trump tweets, likely the original post used this site. Below are the most prominent 2 sites I found that investigated the same screenshot of a tweet. They both agree with my conclusion.

This a well done factcheck, and I appreciate you explaining how easy it would be to forge this tweet. You've also done the work to link a few sources that came to the same conclusion to strengthen your argument, which is great. Solid work!

Answer 2

The claim that Donald Trump tweeted "thicc Latinas will not be deported" appears to be false. The link leads to a Bluesky account where someone posted what looks like a screenshot of a tweet from Trump saying this, but I couldn't find any trace of such a tweet on his actual Twitter account. The Bluesky account in question frequently shares political memes, so it's likely that this was another one of them. It's easy to fabricate such a tweet with photo editing, and there are even websites that allow you to generate fake Trump tweets. Based on the investigations of two prominent sites I found, they both agree with my conclusion that this screenshot is not authentic.

Answer 3

This is very far from real. Running the image through TinyEye.com (A reverse image searcher) shows the results from many meme pages on twitter and reddit. There is also no trace of this tweet on Donald Trumps account.
