Trump tweets morphed image of Dog injured in Baghdadi Raid purposefully
Washington (AltNews) — US president Donald Trump shared an image of himself supposedly awarding a medal of honour to Conan, the military dog who helped chase down IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. “American Hero,” the president tweeted on Tuesday.

The image however is not genuine but a work of photoshop.
Incidentally, Trump had himself shared the original image of Conan on Tuesday to subtly tease his opponents.

The morphed image was created in jest by American conservative website TheDaily Wire.

This was superimposed upon a photograph of the president awarding a medal of honour to James McCloughan in 2017.
McCloughan is a retired army medic who was honoured for saving the lives of 10 people during the Vietnam War.
