Photo shows former President Donald Trump voting in the 2024 election in New York.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to vote on Election Day, which means an image that was spreading online ahead of that day showing him casting a ballot wasn’t taken this fall, though some social media users believe otherwise.

“He can’t even trust his wife,” a Nov. 1 Instagram post said, sharing an image of a CNN broadcast that shows Trump appearing to look over at his wife Melania Trump’s ballot. 

“Breaking news,” the CNN chyron said. “Trump casts vote in presidential race.” 

Text in the upper corner says “New York.”

“Melania voted for Harris,” someone commented on the post. 

“Nobody has to know, Melania,” someone else said.

The Instagram post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

The image is from Nov. 8, 2016 — Election Day eight years ago — when the Trumps voted in New York City. 

They were then registered to vote in New York. But Trump’s home state is now Florida, and that’s where he’s registered to vote in the 2024 presidential election. 

He previously said he would vote early, but he’s now expected to cast a ballot Nov. 5 in Palm Beach.

Trump recently criticized an ad from Vote Common Good, an organization that supports progressive candidates, including Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee. 

The ad, narrated by actor Julia Roberts, shows a woman casting a ballot for Harris, and suggests her husband cast one for Trump, the Republican presidential nominee. 

“Remember,” Roberts says in the ad. “What happens in the booth, stays in the booth.”
