A meme with two side-by-side photos. On the left, an older man in a highly decorated military-style uniform walks outdoors. On the right is a black-and-white yearbook-style portrait of a young cadet in uniform wearing several medals.

Text below reads: “The AI image of Trump in uniform with unearned/awarded medals including the CMH is literally just what he did as a cadet when in a military academy.

Yes, he wore medals he didn’t earn. Medals he borrowed from a friend for his yearbook picture.

Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Lying, cheating and stealing has been at the core of who he is since childhood.”
