Facebook is claiming real photographs of the incident are "altered" images, according to screenshot posted online.

The famous image of Trump raising his fist after being shot was "reviewed" by Meta's "independent fact-checkers" who said it "was altered in a way that could mislead people."

Instagram, another Meta social media platform, is also censoring the iconic image of Trump raising his fist into the air.

Infowars' Darrin McBreen had his post blocked on the social media app after it falsely claimed the image was "altered."

Earlier this month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the Trump photograph was "one of the most badass things" he'd ever seen.

The bizarre blocking of the iconic image comes as Google was caught this week blatantly hiding search results for Donald Trump and the attempted assassination of the 45th President.
