U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by sharing a digitally altered image on his social media platform depicting himself as the “Acting President of Venezuela.”
The graphic, styled to resemble a Wikipedia page, shows Trump’s portrait and labels him as Venezuela’s acting president as of January 2026 a title that does not appear on his real Wikipedia page and is not recognised officially.
The post comes amid heightened tensions following recent U.S. actions in Venezuela, including a military operation that removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from power.

The image has drawn widespread attention and criticism online, with many calling it misleading and provocative.
