This sort of thing happens from time to time. The most common cause is wikipedia vandalism that gets indexed, though in this case it seems to be a very highly-ranked image search result for the image on reason.com.
It's fairly common for these things to appear, and also surprisingly common for them to last a long time after they come to light, unless a Grade AA stink is made about it. As a general rule, Google won't remove something like this directly from their index unless they "have to", and will instead add it to the training/test set for their "bad result" model and will then wait until the models take it down themselves (if they ever do).
Though if this post gets enough attention, it'll probably get fixed in a few days.

#4The image links back to a blog/article which references Trader Joe's.
If an algorithm is selecting the 'most appropriate image' for a search of a Store or Brand, that is worrisome as it will surely be gamed.

#5For those not seeing it not scrolling down, the “Google info” is showing a logo that clearly referenced Biden and says “Traitor Joe”.
Either TJs has gone unexpectedly political or Google’s AI is going weird again.

Political Google bombing has been a thing for a long time, and while the details of how it is done and what it acheives changes, it probably will be for a very long time in the future.

Seems like this is just Googlebombing. People do it all the time, most famous was "miserable failure" returning images of George W Bush.

Might be geolocation based? I’m in Europe and don’t see it.

It's just boring old gaming of the algorithms, unlikely any human at Google was involved in selecting that image.
