FACT CHECK: No, Justin Trudeau Did Not Post Image Of Canadian Citizens Pushing Donald Trump Off Cliff

An image shared on X alleged­ly shows a screen­shot of an X post made by Cana­di­an Prime Min­is­ter Justin Trudeau depict­ing Cana­di­ans push­ing Pres­i­dent-elect Don­ald Trump off of a cliff. 

Ver­dict: False

There is no evi­dence Trudeau made this post.

Fact Check: 

Trump and Trudeau met for din­ner togeth­er last week at Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago, and both said the meet­ing went pos­i­tive­ly, accord­ing to CNN. Trump claimed the two spoke about fen­tanyl and the Trade Deficit, and Trudeau said the con­ver­sa­tion was “excel­lent,” the out­let report­ed.

An X screen­shot appears to show a post authored by Trudeau with the cap­tion, “Oh Cana­da!” It includes a pho­to show­ing peo­ple with Cana­di­an flags stand­ing at a cliff­side while Trump appears to be falling as if pushed.

The post’s cap­tion reads, “Cana­da be like ‘Get tha fuck out­ta here eh?’”

There is no evi­dence that Trudeau post­ed this, how­ev­er. The post can­not be found via a search of Trudeau’s X account. Like­wise, there are no cred­i­ble news reports to cor­rob­o­rate this claim. (RELATED: Did Justin Trudeau Announce A Three-Year Freeze On Accept­ing Immi­grants Into Cana­da?)

The image of Trump is 99% like­ly to have been cre­at­ed with the use of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI), accord­ing to AI-detec­tion tool Hive Mod­er­a­tion.

Trudeau made a post last month con­grat­u­lat­ing Trump’s elec­tion win, say­ing, in part, “The friend­ship between Cana­da and the U.S. is the envy of the world.”
