Trump, 80, floods Truth Social with AI-generated self-portraits and political jabs
President Donald Trump posted dozens of AI-created images of himself on Truth Social Saturday, ranging from an Elvis-style outfit to claims on Venezuela and Greenland.
President Donald Trump spent Saturday afternoon uploading a barrage of AI-crafted images to Truth Social, totaling 43 posts that mixed reposts with new creations. Highlights included a glittering Elvis-inspired jumpsuit, a side-by-side comparison of his current and younger self with the caption “Same Guy. Even more energy now!”, and a depiction of him as a Revolutionary War commander.
He also promoted a mock design for a Washington, D.C. triumphal arch and mocked political opponents Bruce Springsteen and James Talarico. The president continued to voice aspirations to claim Venezuela and Greenland, labeling the former a “51st state” and posting a giant figure overlooking Greenland. Additionally, Trump rebuked U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for her stance on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool incident, accusing her of misjudging the cause of the damage. The White House did not respond to inquiries about the flurry of posts.
