Viral Image Misrepresents Dublin Crowd as Trump Rally in New York

A 2011 photo from Obama's visit to Ireland is falsely claimed to show crowds at a recent Trump rally in New York City.

The image in question shows a crowd in Dublin during former President Barack Obama's visit in 2011, not outside Trump's 2024 rally.
The miscaptioned photo has been widely shared on social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
Donald Trump did hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, filling the venue with thousands of supporters.
Reverse image searches confirm the photo's origin, showing Dublin landmarks such as the Dublin Bus logo and Irish flags.
Fact-checking organizations, including USA TODAY and AFP, have debunked the false claims surrounding the image.
