An image depicts Ariana Grande defiling the American flag.

On 22 May 2017 an explosion killed more than 20 concertgoers at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England; shortly afterwards, a photograph spread that purportedly depicted the singer using an American flag as toilet paper:

Although the origin of the image isn't immediately clear, Facebook user Joe Abrahamson posted the image less than 24 hours after the Manchester attack. His post was shared over 40,000 times at the time of this writing:

The impetus for spreading the photograph was also unclear, but the claim was easily debunked. A reverse image search led to a July 2015 controversy (#FYoFlag) which involved a social media user going by the name Nocturnus Libertus. Grande's visage was edited onto the inflammatory photograph, which then went viral following the tragedy:

During a separate controversy involving Grande in 2015, a satirical article suggesting the singer joined ISIS was mistaken for legitimate news.

President Trump was the first U.S. president to visit the Western Wall.

MOSTLY TRUE

Donald Trump was the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall.

WHAT'S FALSE

Several other presidents have visited the Western Wall, but none of those trips occurred while they were in office.

On 23 May 2017, news outlets such as NBC News and CNN reported that Donald Trump was the first sitting United States President to visit the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites, in Jerusalem:

President Donald Trump placed a note in the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Monday, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit one of Judaism's holiest sites.

Trump later called it a "great honor" to visit the wall, saying, "I can see a much deeper path, friendship with Israel."

The historic visit is part of Trump's efforts to highlight "the need for unity among three of the world's great religions" on his first foreign trip, senior administration officials said.

As this news circulated on social media, some of the details became obscured. For instance, the Facebook page Patriots for America USA shared an image of Trump at the wall along with a message claiming that he was the "first U.S. President" to visit the holy site:

Barack Obama visited the Western Wall when he was a presidential candidate in 2008; George W. Bush visited the site in 1998, years before becoming president; Bill Clinton visited the wall after leaving office; and George H.W. Bush visited the wall as well, though not while in office.

Although Trump was the not the first president to visit the Western Wall, he was the first sittingpresident to do so.

As the presidential race began slipping away from Hillary Clinton on 8 November 2016, many people took to Twitter to blame third party candidates (such as the Green Party’s Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson) for siphoning away votes from the Democratic candidate — with such complaints including the claim that thousands of voters had cast write-in “protest” votes for Harambe, the gorilla controversially killed at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016 after a child fell into his pen:

The Daily Snark, an entertainment web site that publishes satirical material, added some misplaced credibility to this claim when they published an article repeating it:

You may asked what the Unites States did to narrow 350,000,000 people down to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as their leader. Keep in mind, this is the same county that at the same time is still mourning the death of a dead gorilla.

By around 1:00am ET, the dead gorilla racked up more than 15,000 write-in votes for the presidency on election night.

It’s possible that some voters actually did write in Harambe’s name, as many people tweeted to assert they did:

@TheAnonnMessage not mine but i saw it om facebook pic.twitter.com/10hgDUno2g

— Jeffrey Hernandez (@Mexicanabanana) November 9, 2016

However, the claim that the gorilla received 15,000 votes (or any other specific number) is not yet backed up by any actual data.

On 8 November 2016, the general election votes were still being counted, and a running vote tally was not available for write-in candidates. In fact, any write-in votes for “Harambe” would most likely have been counted as “unofficial votes” and not tallied separately in the majority of states, which require write-in candidates to fill out paperwork before the election to ensure their votes are counted separately:

Some people displeased with the candidates for president this year have announced their plans to cast a write-in vote, whether it’s for Bernie Sanders or Mike Pence.

But will that vote count? No, except in rare circumstances. You might as well write in Mickey Mouse, something that happens distressingly often, said Spokane County Auditor Vicky Dalton.

Washington and Idaho are two of the 32 states where people have to officially file as write-in candidates before the election.

If a Washington ballot has a write-in candidate, it’s set aside. The votes for all official write-in candidates are counted, but a vote for any unofficial candidate — like Mickey Mouse — is not. It’s simply tallied as an unofficial vote.

“We encourage write-in candidates to notify us when they are going to run a write-in campaign because then we’ll notify the clerks to specifically count them,” explains Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin. “If people randomly choose to write in a name, it’ll be counted, but it could be counted as ‘other.’”

We don’t know how many people voted for Harambe during the presidential election. But anyone claiming that “15,000” (or any other number of) people voted for the deceased gorilla is repeating a false claim.

Miley Cyrus said she would prefer a North Korean nuclear attack on the US to the presidency of Donald Trump.

In May 2017, several dubious web sites published a story quoting the pop singer Miley Cyrus saying that she'd rather North Korea launched nuclear war against the United States than have Donald Trump as president.

The web site RedInfo simply posted the following headline:

Miley Cyrus Says: I Hate Trump So Much That I'd Rather Have North Korea Nuke Us To Death

The invented quote was followed by a poll that asked "Would you support Trump if he arrest [sic] her?"

Other versions of the same story - on the News Tips, US Postman, Last Deplorables and Deplorable & Proud web sites - also included extensive and accurate quotations from a video Cyrus posted to Twitter in the immediate aftermath of Trump's victory in November 2016.

In that video, the singer tearfully described her disappointment at the election of Donald Trump, but declared "I accept you as President of the United States."

Miley Cyrus has attracted the ire - and schadenfreude - of some conservatives and Trump supporters after she vowed, during the 2016 presidential election campaign, to leave the United States if Trump was elected.

In a 2 March 2016 Instagram post, she wrote: "Honestly fuck this shit I am moving if this is my president. I don't say things I don't mean!"

However, there is no record of Cyrus expressing a preference for a nuclear attack on the United States over the presidency of Donald Trump.

An image accurately compares Pope Francis' mood during a visit with President Obama and another visit with President Trump.

MOSTLY FALSE

A photograph purportedly showing Pope Francis' dour mood during a visit with President Trump went viral on 24 May 2017 after social media users compared it to a second image of the Pope smiling during a previous visit with President Obama:

The image of Trump and the Pope was also compared to images of Pope Francis with other world leaders:

Something seems...different 🤔 pic.twitter.com/JiyVTs014G

- Cassie Dagostino (@casatino) May 24, 2017

These photographs are all genuine. However, the idea that the images prove that the Pope enjoyed visiting Obama and other world leaders more than Trump doesn't hold water. The images shown above were chosen to paint Trump in a negative light. One could select other images, however, to illustrate the exact opposite. For example, here's an image showing the Pope smiling with President Trump next to an image of the Pope frowning with President Obama:

Furthermore, Evan Vucci, the Associated Press photographer who took the viral photograph of Trump with a frowning Pope Francis, told that although this particular image doesn't show the Pope smiling, he wasn't in an unusually bad mood during the photo-op:

Evan Vucci, the Associated Press photographer who made this picture, recalled the rapidly unfolding scene in a phone call on Wednesday. "It happens so fast, like a pool spray at the White House," he tells TIME.

Vucci was among six photographers who got into the room. The group was first ushered in to photograph Trump and Francis as they sat across from one another at a desk, then back out so the pair could meet. About a half hour later, they returned for more pictures. "We were instructed to stay behind the gift table. It's packed and everyone is jostling for position," Vucci says. "They're shaking hands, [Trump's] introducing the delegation. Then they do this big group photo."

[...]

This is just one image, from one click of the shutter, during a moment when hundreds of pictures were made. For Vucci, a veteran political photojournalist, his work is all about honesty. "I'm trying to be as fair as possible, that's my job," he says. "And where people take it, it's up to them."

It's possible that Pope Francis truly did enjoy meeting President Obama more than President Trump (or vice versa). However, this viral comparison does not offer proof of any kind.

A video shows Pope Francis slapping away Donald Trump's hand.

A short clip purportedly showing Pope Francis slapping away President Trump's hand during a photo-op at the Vatican was widely shared on social media on 24 May 2017:

This video does not show a real interaction between Donald Trump and Pope Francis.

One clue that the video is fake is the sleeves of both men. In the wide shot, the Pope's sleeve is longer, nearly covering his fingers, and Trump's jacket sleeve completely covers his white shirtsleeve. In the "closeup," however, the Pope's sleeve is shorter and Trump's shirtsleeve is visible:

But setting aside the shirtsleeves, the source of the clip - the late night television show Jimmy Kimmel Live - clearly indicated that it was created in jest. The clip mocks Trump's perceived icy relationship with his wife, Melania, who was taped slapping Trump's hand away earlier in the week.
The clip can be glimpsed at the 1:30 mark of the following video:

Kimmel wasn't the only one to make a joke video with Pope Francis slapping away Trump's hand. Jimmy Fallon played a similar clip on an episode of The Tonight Show, which can be glimpsed at the 3:15 mark of the following video:

This video, of course, is also fake.

Although these clips may appear obviously fake when viewed in the context of late night television, many people shared edited versions which featured just the "hand slapping" moment. The real footage of Trump's meeting with the Pope, however, does not include any such hand slapping:
