Monterey Salinas, CA, October 12, 2026 — A recent report originating from Monterey-Salinas indicates that former President Donald Trump shared a fabricated quote on social media. The post falsely attributed words of praise for Trump to actor Denzel Washington.

Fact-checking organizations and various media outlets have since verified that the quote attributed to Washington is not authentic. These entities confirmed the statement was fabricated, meaning it was not genuinely spoken or written by the actor.

This instance marks a pattern where former President Trump has allegedly employed fabricated quotes. Reports suggest that similar tactics involving the sharing of non-genuine statements have been used by Trump in previous occasions.

The exact social media platform where the quote was shared and the specific date of the post were not detailed in the summary. The content of the fabricated quote, which purportedly praised former President Trump, has also not been explicitly provided.

This reporting highlights the ongoing scrutiny of information shared on social media platforms and the role of fact-checkers in verifying the authenticity of statements attributed to public figures.
