Claim:
Two photos shared on social media authentically showed former U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

Rating:
True
True

In early August 2024, a collage of two photos circulated on social media purportedly showing former U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

In short, both photographs were authentic and indeed depicted the former president and his daughter, which is why we rated this claim and the images as "True."

The picture on the right of the collage was featured in a Time magazine article titled, "Ivanka Trump's Life in Pictures." According to the piece, the photograph was taken by Brian Smith at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1996. Its caption read: "Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka."

Smith's official website also contained the image.
