In August 2026, a screenshot (archived) circulated online that purportedly showed a Truth Social post on U.S. President Donald Trump's account featuring an image depicting him with World War II Generals George Patton and Douglas MacArthur. For example, the activist and TikTok news influencer Aaron Parnas shared a screenshot of Trump's alleged post with the caption, "Trump accused of stolen valor." The image shows the president wearing a military uniform with medals and honors that he has not earned. Claims that Trump posted the image of himself, Patton and MacArthur, and that doing so amounted to stolen valor " meaning when people falsely claim respect for military accomplishments they did not achieve " also circulated on X (archived), Facebook (archived), Threads (archived), Bluesky (archived) and Reddit (archived).
