Claim: Multiple social media users claim US President-elect, Donald Trump has endorsed the NDC’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election, John Dramani Mahama.
Source: Facebook, Facebook, TikTok archived here
Verdict: False
Explanation: There are no media reports of this supposed endorsement. There is no video of Trump endorsing Mahama, no news reports on it, and no posts on social media by the official handles of both Mahama and Trump. This endorsement was spotted on about two handles on Facebook and TikTok (here, here, and here). Aside from the apparent unnatural tone the acclaimed voice carries, when tested on AI or Not, a tool that substantiates synthetic contents, the results indicate that the audio was artificially generated and cloned to seem like Donald Trump’s voice.
