Are social media posts wishing Pink a happy birthday and showing the musician wearing an anti-Trump t-shirt real? No, that's not true: The images were generated by artificial intelligence tools and distributed by a spam operation managed from Vietnam. The posts, which link to a website that sells t-shirts, falsely claim Pink's birthday is in May, but the singer was born on September 8.
Lead Stories found at least eight posts with the same caption, but different images, including a post (archived here) shared by the "Anti-Trump" Facebook page on May 16, 2026. It featured an AI image of Pink wearing a black shirt that read:
8747 Not My President. Voice. Values. Beliefs.
This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

The caption read:
Happy 47nd Birthday, P!NK🎉🍰🎂
Alecia Beth Moore, known worldwide as P!NK, isn't just a pop star--she's a symbol of strength, rebellion, and raw honesty. Born on 1979, in Pennsylvania, she rose from a rebellious teenager writing songs in her bedroom to becoming one of the most powerful voices in music.From early hits like "There You Go" to global anthems like "Just Give Me a Reason" and "What About Us", P!NK built her career on fearless authenticity. She refused to fit into the "perfect pop star" mold--and that's exactly what made her iconic.
Beyond the music, she's known for her jaw-dropping aerial performances, strong personality, and unapologetic attitude toward life, love, and self-worth. P!NK doesn't just sing--she tells stories people feel deep in their souls.
💬 "I'm not here to be perfect. I'm here to be real."
From scars to strength, from chaos to courage--P!NK proves that being different is your greatest power.
👏 Hands up if P!NK has ever inspired you!

The Meta transparency data from the Anti-Trump page, which shared most of these posts, confirmed the page is managed from Vietnam.

The Vietnam connection is significant, since fact-checkers, including Lead Stories, have identified a major source of AI-generated false stories coming from a single operation based in that Southeast Asian country. Recent reporting and fact checks mentioning that country are available here.
Lead Stories has published a primer -- or a prebunk -- on how to identify these kinds of fake posts exported from Vietnam. It is titled "Prebunk: Beware Of Fake Fan Pages Spreading False Stories About Your Favorite Celebrities -- How To Spot 'Viet Spam.'"
