Twitter was flooded Wednesday with AI-generated deepfake photos of former President Donald Trump resisting arrest and trying to run from police ahead of his potential New York indictment this week.

The fabricated images — which had been viewed more than 4 million times — appear to show Trump yelling and fighting off at least five NYPD officers.

In others, he’s depicted breaking free from cops and bolting as Melania Trump and Donald Trump Jr. shout in protest of his arrest.

Many of the disturbingly realistic-looking images were shared widely by Twitter users, who falsely claimed they were legitimate.

[Good grief. No one’s getting arrested before an indictment gets handed down, and it now seems pretty iffy as to whether that will happen in Manhattan at all. Trump’s attorneys have already said that they would just arrange a surrender and arraignment if and when that came to pass. It seems like some people are awfully desperate to sell Trump’s victimhood even if they have to make it up — almost akin to hate-crime hoaxes that have become de rigueur the last few years. — Ed]
