It has emerged that a stock image agency is being used to portray supporters of President Donald Trump in his 2020 campaign bid. Trump's re-election campaign is in full swing, and features one television advertisement citing a blonde woman who, at first glance, appears to be one of his supporters.
She is in a video, shared on YouTube, which opens with an image of waves crashing against a beach, and the disembodied radio voice of Trump saying, "The national motto, in God we trust."
In the next frame is a woman walking along a beach, although it is not clear it if is the same one, captioned, "Tracey from Florida."
A woman's voice is then heard saying, "President Trump is doing a great job, I could not ask for a better president of the United States of America."
To a soundtrack of guitar strings, a caption in capital letters asks the viewer, "Do you agree with Tracey? Take the official survey," before the graphic of Trump's campaign emerges again, with the slogan "Make America great again!" and calling on people to text "Trump 45" to 8802.
However, as Popular Info reported, Tracey is not an actual Trump supporter and is simply a model from a video purchased on istockphoto.com titled "summer beach beauty walking."

MAGA donor money hard at work.
