This Image Shows a Transgender Woman, Not the Alleged Trump Shooter

Recently, social media users have been circulating a photo claiming that the suspect who tried to assassinate Donald Trump is a transgender woman. Many posts have gone viral on the X platform in different languages. An account called “Politically Stripped” commented on this photo: “Why is the media using a photo of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks from when he was 16 years old? He is wearing a choker like a teenage girl would wear. Another trans shooter?”

A Spanish Telegram channel shared the photo with the caption: 'They spread an alleged photo of the young man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump, which supposedly proves that he had sexual identity problems.'
