An image of US President Donald Trump honouring the dog that was involved in the operation of killing ISIS Chief Al-Bagdadi is doing the rounds on social media. Let’s analyze the authenticity of that image.
Image of Trump honouring the dog that  was involved in the operation of killing ISIS chief Al-Bagdadi.
Fact: The image is a photoshopped one. The original image is that of President Donald Trump awarding ‘Medal of Honor’ to James McCloughan of the US Army. So, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On October 28, 2019, Donald Trump tweeted the image of the dog that was involved in the operation of killing ISIS chief Al-Bagdadi in Syria.
We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi! pic.twitter.com/PDMx9nZWvw
Later, on 30 October 30 2019, Trump made another tweet with the image of him honouring the dog with a medal and texted ‘American Hero’.

But, when that image was subjected to reverse image technique, the search result of ‘CNN’ with a similar image but showing Trump honouring a person was obtained. From the article, it was found that the image is related to Trump awarding ‘Medal of Honor’ to James McCloughan of the US Army. When the two images were observed carefully, it can be understood that the image of Trump honouring the dog is a photoshopped image of Trump awarding ‘Medal of Honor’ to James McCloughan.
Later on, in another tweet, Trump also called the image of him honouring the dog as a ‘recreation’ of the original image.
Thank you Daily Wire. Very cute recreation, but the “live” version of Conan will be leaving the Middle East for the White House sometime next week! https://t.co/Z1UfhxsSpT
To conclude, the image of Trump honouring the dog that involved in the operation of killing ISIS chief Al-Bagdadi is a photoshopped one.
