On 17 April 2017, fake news site True Trumpers published a page containing only the clickbait headline Just In: Trump’s Ex-Wife Marla Maples Died After Airline Accident! and a photograph of what appeared to be the wreckage of a crashed plane: There is no truth to the sensational headline, a claim which would have made worldwide news if it were accurate; indeed, the image used here is actually from July 1997, when a Federal Express plane crashed and burned during a landing at Newark International Airport. (Despite the dramatic image, only minor injuries were reported.) Before claiming Marla Maples was killed in a plane crash, True Trumpers reported (falsely) that Vice-President Mike Pence and 23 staffers died in the same manner in March 2017.
