TRUMP SHARED AI IMAGE OF RIVALS IN ‘I LOST TO TRUMP’ HATS
President Donald Trump posted an apparently AI-generated image on Truth Social on June 28, 2026, showing his last three Democratic opponents, Hillary Clinton (2016), Joe Biden (2020) and Kamala Harris (2024), in red MAGA-style hats reading “I Lost to Trump.” HuffPost reported that the slogan fits Clinton and Harris but not Biden, who beat Trump in 2020.
HuffPost said Trump was once again trying to rewrite history, and it called the Biden hat a “glaring falsehood.”
The image was a tidy visual: three former rivals, three matching caps, one message. Two of the three hats were accurate, which is a decent batting average by Truth Social standards, but the Biden one was not.
What the 2020 numbers show
Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election. He won more than 81.2 million votes to Trump’s 74.2 million, and he took the Electoral College as well.
Trump has spent years claiming the election was stolen from him anyway. According to HuffPost, courts, election officials and members of his own administration, among many others, have refuted those arguments.
So the hat on Biden’s head carried a slogan the vote count does not support, while the other two were simply a reminder of Trump’s wins in 2016 and 2024.
The Bullhead City rally
The claim came back months later. On October 14, 2026, Trump spoke at a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, where AZCentral reported he called the 2020 election “rigged.”
Crooks and Liars reported that he said he won 2020 by millions of votes and that Biden rigged it using COVID.
The Associated Press reported that Trump also repeated false claims about Arizona’s 2022 election. He said “only the Republican machines were broken.”
The AP said that was false. About one-third of voting centers in Maricopa County reported printing issues in 2022, including in Democrat-leaning areas, and the affected ballots were counted at the county’s central elections warehouse.
An investigation by a former Arizona Supreme Court justice traced the problem to changes to the ballot paper, not malicious actions, according to the AP.
That is where it stood after the rally: Trump was still calling the 2020 election rigged, and the “I Lost to Trump” hat was still wrong for Biden.
