An image circulated online in April 2026, supposedly showing Donald Trump's ear after an assassination attempt in July 2024, was found to be fake. The image showed Trump's ear as intact, contradicting reports that one of the shots fired had clipped it. Snopes investigated the image using reverse image searches and credible media repositories like Getty Images. Legitimate images from Getty showed blood around Trump's ear and a chunk missing, unlike the circulated image. The image was generated using artificial intelligence tools and was a cropped version of a post from a Facebook account called Emery gaming. The account contained other AI-generated media, confirming the image's fake nature.
