On Wednesday we learned that the ex-president would happily put on a show and appear in court with his hands tied behind his back if he was officially accused of buying the silence of a porn actress who was in a relationship.
It wasn’t before netizens took to the internet to post a series of fake images, commonly referred to as deepfakes, showing the ex-president during his false arrest.
These have also been viewed more than four million times, according to The Independent.
In the pictures we see him on the run and fighting the police or even in an orange prisoner’s overalls while signing documents in a prison.
“Taking photos of Trump being arrested while waiting for Trump to be arrested,” the author of the fake photos wrote on Twitter.
Other fake footage also shows his wife Melania Trump and son Donald Trump Jr. yelling at officers.
Donald Trump could be accused of forging business records during his 2016 campaign to hide bribes paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
If the 76-year-old is indicted by the Manhattan grand jury, he would be the first US president to be prosecuted.
