President Trump tweeted out a fake photo of himself in a boxing ring, and chaos ensued on social media.
The photo, which appears to be from the movie Rocky III starring Sylvester Stallone, has the president’s face imposed on the Rocky actor’s body. The president did not caption his Wednesday morning tweet.

Trump did, however, reference his “gorgeous chest” during his Tuesday evening “Keep America Great” rally in Florida. While discussing his unannounced visit to Walter Reed hospital about a week ago, the president said the doctors told him to “show us that gorgeous chest.”
“We want to see it,” he claimed they said. “We’ve never seen a chest quite like it.”

Rocky III, which was the third installment in the Rocky film series, debuted in 1982.
Social media users shared their reactions to the president’s tweet, with some mocking him and others praising him as an “expert” troll.
