Does an authentic photo show Tyler Robinson wearing a Trump T-shirt? No, that's not true: The photo of Robinson is real, but it has been digitally manipulated. The shirt he was wearing in the original photo was plain with no printing and burgundy, not red.
The edited photo appeared in a post (archived here) on X by @UchePOkoye on Sep. 12, 2025. It was captioned:
He's even a trump supporter?
This is the photo as it appeared in the post at the time of writing:

This is not an authentic photo but has been manipulated with editing software. The original uncropped photo (pictured below) shows Robinson wearing a faded burgundy color shirt with no printing on it. Many photos taken from social media began to circulate after Robinson was named as the suspect, including this photo posted (archived here) on X by @remarks on Sep. 12, 2025. It was captioned:
JUST IN: Charlie Kirk killer identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
