President Donald Trump s latest online ads for his reelection campaign feature whats supposed to look like testimonials from real Americans. But it turns out the people in the ads are stock footage models from overseas.

The spots are running on Facebook and Google .

According to the Popular Info website and a HuffPost search of stock footage archives videos and stills of the models from the Trump ads are available on the iStockphoto website as well as from other sources that resell such images.

Tracey from Florida , shown strolling along what appears to be a Florida beach, said in a voiceover that Trump was doing a great job and I could not ask for a better president of the United States of America.

But she isnt Tracey, shes not from Florida and the voice is unlikely to be hers. The footage is of a stock model who according to the description is walking during sunset at the beach along the Mediterranean .

Another featured American Thomas from Washington is this guy, whose image is sold via stock footage in video and stills, in this case as bearded and tattooed hipster coffee shop owner posing.
