Trump shares AI fantasies of George Washington as sailors on carrier face harsh conditions

Donald Trump, now 80, spent Saturday posting a series of AI-generated pictures on Truth Social, showing himself unveiling a new White House ballroom to George Washington, riding side-by-side on horses, and collaborating on a map, along with a photo of himself wearing a “TRUMP 2028” hat. He also posted a nostalgic comment about his rapport with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un despite an unfriendly photograph. These posts arrived as the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln continues its Iran-related deployment, where sailors report living in cramped, prison-like conditions for up to 250 days, with at least two jump-overboard attempts and one rescue.

When asked about the crew’s morale, Trump, who has never served, replied that families were not concerned and the tour was not long enough. A crew member’s spouse, speaking to Jake Tapper on one outlet, criticized Trump’s remarks as lacking empathy and accountability.
