The US president posts an ad purporting to show violence in the US - but the image is from Ukraine.
A post by Donald Trump's official Facebook account purports to show violence in the US but is in fact of an event in another country.
What does the ad show?The post reads"Evangelicals For Trump are ready to help re-elect President Donald J Trump."However, it is an insignia not recognisable as one US police wear - it's a Coptic cross seen in countries which practice Orthodox Christianity. The security official pictured is in fact not a US police officer. That badge was worn by members of the"Internal Troops of Ukraine", a now disbanded section of the national military that also assisted with policing.
The old photo in the advert was picked up by a former Hillary Clinton staffer Jesse Lehrich in tweet that has been widely shared.The imagery appears to have been made by campaign group"Evangelicals for Trump" and has mostly reached users in Florida and Texas who are older than 55, according to Facebook's estimates.
