A photograph showing 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders with two young people wearing Trump 2020 and Make America Great Again shirts is frequently shared on social media, along with claims that these two Trump supporters had tricked Sanders into taking the photograph, or that the senator needed to have his eyes checked as he was oblivious to their clothing: This is a genuine photograph of Sanders with two Trump supporters. However, there's nothing to indicate that Sanders was oblivious to these shirts or that these Trump supporters were attempting to troll or trick Sanders into taking a photograph with them. This photograph was taken at Northwood-Kensett High School in Iowa on Sept. 23, 2019, during a presidential campaign event. Local news outlet The Courier reported: Sanders gave a speech, took questions, and posed for photographs with attendees. While several students in attendance wore Trump memorabilia, many of them still lined up to meet Sanders and to take a picture with the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. The Courier reported that Sanders and the students were all smiles while taking photographs, regardless of clothing choices: Lisa Grouette of the Globe Gazette captured several other photographs from this event. One photograph shows the three individuals in the viral photograph from a different angle, while another photograph shows Sanders and a young man in a Trump 2020 shirt. Sanders also took photographs with people wearing memorabilia supporting his campaign.
