  • An image purportedly showing a billboard advertisement for Trump Tower Mumbai — which shows a photograph of the American businessman and President-elect alongside the slogan There is only one way to live with a group of apparently homeless people sitting and sleeping in the street beneath it — was circulated on social media in December 2016: A photograph published by India news outlet Mid-Day in May 2016 also shows that a similar billboard in the same area displayed the slogan Trump is back rather than There is only one way to live: We uncovered an image that was posted on 21 December 2016 by Muhammad Sabir, the founder of Slumabad (an organization that works to give homeless children access to education and economic opportunities) along with a message about income inequality: While many people who viewed the image were initially skeptical about its authenticity (including us), the image is real. It was originally posted to Facebook on 27 August 2014 by Paul Needham, who took the photograph: He also sent us different photographs of the same scene: Note: The original version of this article said that the image was not real, based on our initial inability to track down its photographer or source. We have now heard from him and updated our article accordingly. (en)
