Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has posted a fake photo of President Trump with Jeffrey Epstein on X. Morello was fact checked by Grok.
Morello said, “Is this what he means by ‘Great Again’?”
Grok said, “No, this specific image is not real. It appears to be a fabricated or heavily altered photo (likely AI-generated or photoshopped) that’s been circulating with misleading claims.
The photo shows Donald Trump standing in what looks like a bedroom with a group of young children (several girls and boys), alongside another man (presumably meant to be Jeffrey Epstein), with handwritten text “Trump 7/7/92” on it. Claims that it’s “verified” and “in the Epstein files” are false based on multiple fact-checks and reports about Epstein-related document releases.
Why it’s fake:
Fact-checking outlets (including Snopes, Lead Stories, and others) have repeatedly identified similar images purporting to show Trump with Epstein and underage children (especially in compromising or bedroom-like settings) as AI-generated, doctored, or outright fake. None match this exact description of a bedroom scene with multiple young kids and that specific handwriting/date.
Releases from Epstein-related files (DOJ, House Oversight Committee, estate documents in 2025) included real photos of Trump with Epstein (e.g., at parties, with redacted women, or older authentic ones like the 1993 Harley-Davidson Cafe opening with Ivanka and Eric Trump present). No credible release contains a photo like this one — a bedroom group shot with random children and handwritten “Trump 7/7/92.”
The date “7/7/92” (July 7, 1992) doesn’t align with known verified photos. Real footage and images from 1992 show Trump and Epstein at a Mar-a-Lago party (with cheerleaders, no children in bedroom settings), but nothing like this.
Handwritten annotations like that are a common tactic in viral fakes to make them look “evidence-like,” but no Epstein file photo has been reported with such a label on a bedroom scene.
Real context on Trump-Epstein photos:
There are authentic photos of Trump and Epstein together from the 1990s (e.g., 1992 Mar-a-Lago party video, 1993 event with Trump’s kids Ivanka and Eric, 1997 at Mar-a-Lago). These are from public events, not bedrooms or with random groups of young children. Some Epstein file releases in 2025 showed Trump in social settings (often with redacted faces for privacy), but again — nothing matching this image.
This seems to be one of many debunked fakes that spread after Epstein document releases, often exaggerating or inventing ties to minors. If you have a source link for where this exact image came from, I can dig further, but based on widespread reporting, it’s not legitimate.”
