Emerging story

The photo of Baldwin wearing an anti-trump t-shirt racked up thousands of likes and shares on Twitter when it originally surfaced in 2017 and 2018. In recent days, it’s resurfaced, particularly on Facebook, and has been shared by many self-proclaimed Democrats and supporters of President Joe Biden.

Misbar’s Analysis

The photo circulating on social media has been doctored to include the text on Baldwin’s shirt. The undoctored photos from this moment were taken in 2013 by the paparazzi. These originals show Baldwin wearing a plain black T-shirt without any text. It’s unclear who edited the text onto the photo.

Though the shirt on Baldwin in this photo has been doctored, there is a shirt for sale with this text in the same style.

Baldwin has criticized former President Donald Trump numerous times in the past. He also won an Emmy in 2017for his performance imitating Trump on Saturday Night Live.
