A widely shared image claiming to show Trump hiding in a small airline catering trolley during his secret plane switch in Turkey is fake, not an authentic photo. The real New York Times reporting described a large catering container capable of holding multiple people, moved by flatbed truck between aircraft, not the narrow rolling cart with curtains depicted in the viral image.
The earliest posting traced to a Bluesky account belonging to a failed 2026 California congressional candidate with a history of political satire; Anthony Scaramucci also shared the image, claiming Trump was 'livid' it became public. A ZeroGPT scan found the image was AI-generated with 97% certainty, and Snopes identified other fabricated images circulating on the same premise.
