Donald Trump seems to have found an AI image-generating site recently, and he's showing no signs of easing up on how much he's using it.
On May 4, aka Star Wars Day, the official White House and POTUS Instagram accounts shared a surreal AI-generated image of Trump that had social media users doing a double-take.
The post featured an extremely muscular Trump adorned in Jedi robes, all while holding a lightsaber and standing in front of two bald eagles and American flags.
The caption read: "Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion - you’re the Empire.
"May the 4th be with you."
But fans of the Star Wars franchise quickly pointed out the awkward mistake in the image.
See if you can spot it before reading on... I'm sure that any Star Wars fans have already noticed, as it's a pretty glaring error.
...got it?
Well, take a closer look and you'll notice that Trump is hold a red lightsaber. Which is a pretty huge blunder, particularly after making a point of comparing "Radical Left Lunatics" to the Sith.
You see, in the Star Wars franchise, a red lightsaber generally indicates that someone is evil, corrupted by "the Dark Side of the Force", and most likely a Sith Lord. Think Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus, and Emperor Palpatine himself.
People were quick to catch onto this error.
One person commented on the White House Instagram post: "Uh….you do realize the red lightsabers are the bad guys right?!"
A second said: "The AI knowing Trump is a bad person and giving him a red lightsaber is hilarious."
A third person added: "Your lightsaber is red. That means you’re on the Dark Side. You’re with the bad guys - you’ve finally admitted it."
If the AI Star Wars post wasn’t enough, Trump previously posted an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the Pope, shared just eleven days after the real Pope Francis passed away.
The post, which appeared across Trump’s social channels, showed him wearing a cream mitre and ornate robes, seated on a golden throne with his finger raised like he was delivering a blessing.
The image came without a caption, but the timing — so soon after Pope Francis’s funeral on April 26 — ignited immediate backlash.
“Cannot believe this is real. I don’t expect any level of respect from Trump, but this is a new low,” one Instagram user fumed.
Even some supporters turned on him. “I voted, but what is this?” asked one. Another admitted: “I can't defend this one.”
Maybe it's time for Trump's social media team to have a quick word before he posts things.
