Donald Trump has once again been caught sharing highly misleading images on Truth Social, but this time they concern his political opponent, Kamala Harris.

As reported by TMZ, the Republican nominee reshared an image that insinuated that the Democratic nominee used to hang out with Diddy, who was arrested this week on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. "Kamala doing the Diddy?" the doctored image reads. "Madam Vice President, have you ever been involved or engaged in one of Puff Daddies' Freak Offs?"

Trump did not add a comment alongside the shared image, but the photo is evidently a fake. The original photo is available via the Ron Galella Archive on Getty Images. It shows Harris with her arm around talk show host Montel Williams—who is the Vice President's ex-boyfriend—and his daughter Ashley Williams at the Erase Multiple Sclerosis charity event in Century City, California, in 2001.

It's not clear where the fake image originated, but it was apparently believable enough to Trump for him to share it with his over seven million followers on Truth Social. Williams, who had his face replaced with Diddy in the crude edit job, has addressed his former relationship with Harris in the past and said he has "great respect" for her.

Diddy's alleged "Freak Off" parties were one of the key factors in the indictment against him. According to the indictment, victims were given "IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use" at these alleged events. The alleged parties consisted of people receiving "variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant."

Its worth noting there is no evidence to suggest that Harris ever attended one of these so-called "Freak Offs." Donald Trump, meanwhile, has several photos showing him happily hanging out with Diddy at various events throughout the years.

Last month, Trump shared AI-generated images of Taylor Swift fans sporting "Swifties for Trump" t-shirts. Shortly after, Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris and addressed the AI-generated images. In response, Trump shared on Truth Social, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
