Fact check confirms AI-generated image of Trump in Hurricane Helene floodwaters is false

A photo claiming to show former President Donald Trump walking through floodwaters from Hurricane Helene is false. The image was created using artificial intelligence and does not depict a real event. The photo shows Trump in a flooded street, but there is no evidence he was ever in such a situation. AI detection confirmed the image's manipulation. Hurricane Helene has caused over 200 confirmed deaths, primarily in North Carolina. Trump recently visited Valdosta, Georgia, to assess hurricane damage, but he did not wade through any floodwaters.
