"This image is a real photograph, but it depicts a lookalike figure and not the real Donald Trump

This image was created by artist Alison Jackson for her book 'Private'.
Jackson employs actors to “stage” photographs showing celebrities in compromising positions"

The Reuters report did say that the program “Countering Violent Extremism” would be changed to “Countering Islamic Extremism”, and no longer would target white supremacists.

And there might have been real rumors about that a year ago, BUT nothing was changed, since the Countering Violent Extremism program is still named that and still addresses domestic terrorism:
