U.S. President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance have been the subjects of numerous suspicious photographs during their 2024 presidential campaign. Snopes has fact-checked a range of them, including an image that was erroneously framed as evidence of Trump wearing a bandage on his ear months after it had healed from his assassination attempt, as well as a real photograph of Vance passed out on the floor during his college years.

One photograph was heavily edited to enlarge Trump's chin, while another was seemingly created with artificial intelligence software to show Trump serving in the military. Meanwhile, we found real photographs of Vance wearing a blond wig and a dress while attending Yale Law School.

Below is a collection of fact checks that contextualize, debunk or confirm images supposedly showing Trump or Vance. Be sure to keep an eye on this roundup — we will update it with new analyses and fact checks ahead of the election.
