President Donald Trump once again braved flood waters to perform a few heroic rescues in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Or, he did in the imagination of the person who altered a photo of an actual rescue—from 2015—to add the President.

Kevin Roose, a reporter for The New York Times, posted the altered picture next to the 2015 original on Twitter. At the time of his posting, Roose stated that the image had been shared over 275,000 times on Facebook.

Let's get a closer look at that:

Roose also posited why Facebook did not block the sharing of an obviously altered photo designed to trick people.

But people questioned if anyone shared it thinking the President actually participated in rescues—in a suit no less—or if it was shared as a joke. After all, it appears Trump is using a red MAGA hat as a lifeline for the man he's about to "rescue."

Although one person claimed to mistake the red item in Trump's hand for something else entirely.

One Twitter user stated they had a "Trump supporting Aunt" who did believe the photo was real.

But many were just happy to share the many other versions of the photo of the President's heroics. In some, another viral meme gets added when former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is added in.

And it is not always a MAGA hat that Trump hands the flood victim.

And the President is not always in a raft.

While the devastation and death toll from Florence are no laughing matter, people did enjoy a laugh over the altered image of Trump handing out MAGA hats—with or without Christie—during a flood.

This is not the first time Trump made a seemingly heroic venture into the flood waters however.

A few similar photos made the rounds after Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The most popular was one depicting Trump in almost waist high water rescuing cats while wearing a MAGA hat.

It was also shared on Facebook, but the page that shared it later claimed it was a joke. People did believe it though.

Snopes and several other websites and news organizations debunked the photo though.

Dems Share Important Reminder As Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Is Set To Take Effect In January

After Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration, people are sharing reminders that President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is set to take effect in January and that Americans could blame Democrats for stipulations Republicans put in the bill.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." The Post noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

Texas Election Results Reveal Just How Badly James Talarico Beat Ken Paxton—And We Love To See It

While election results in Texas have still not been fully tallied, the unofficial results have revealed that the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.

The scale of Talarico’s victory was evident in the early-voting figures. He received 5,444,982 votes overall, including 4,397,474 cast before Election Day. Paxton, by comparison, finished with 4,249,373 votes, of which 3,232,667 were early ballots. In other words, Talarico secured nearly 150,000 more votes during early voting alone than Paxton received across the entire election.

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.
