When President Trump endorsed the Rededicate 250 prayer rally held at the National Mall last Sunday, most people assumed he'd show up. Thousands did. Speakers took the stage to celebrate Christianity's place in American history, and the crowd gathered in good faith. But Trump himself? He sent a video. A pre-recorded clip of him reading from the Bible, filmed during a marathon session the month before, played on the screens while the president was elsewhere reportedly on the golf course and very much online.
Because while the faithful gathered on the Mall, Trump was doing what he increasingly seems to love most: posting AI-generated content on Truth Social, one surreal image after another.
The Posts That Raised Eyebrows and Then Some
It started relatively tame, by Trump standards. One image showed him gazing at a younger version of himself, tagged with the words "Same guy. Even more energy now!" Another had him dressed in a MAGA hat and polo, striking an Uncle Sam-style pose at his Florida golf club with the caption "We made America Great Again!"
Then things got weirder.
A fabricated image placed Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi submerged in what appeared to be sewage at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Several others targeted California Governor Gavin Newsom. One image showed Trump framed by American flags and bald eagles in sunglasses, radiating strongman-poster energy. Another depicted empty oil tankers drifting toward the Statue of Liberty no clear explanation attached.
Then came the naval warfare videos. Trump shared three AI-generated clips showing him aboard a US warship, personally directing the destruction of an Iranian drone. Dramatic, cinematic, entirely fictional.
And then came the nuclear posts.
A President at a Space Console, Targeting Earth
The images that drew the loudest reaction showed Trump seated at a command desk aboard what appeared to be a space station. Through a large window behind him, the Earth hung in view. On screens arranged around him, nuclear explosions bloomed across the planet's surface. The captions read: "target destroyed."
The whole series was labeled "Space Force."
It was the kind of imagery you'd expect from a video game cutscene or a low-budget action movie not from a sitting US president's official social media feed.
The Reaction Was Swift and Brutal
Critics didn't hold back. Social media lit up almost immediately, with many questioning Trump's mental state and fitness for office.
"Donald Trump spent the weekend showing off strange AI images. Here he is directing a nuclear war from a space station... get rid of the old man, he's seriously ill," one user on X wrote bluntly.
Others were more philosophical. "Gleefully threatening to nuke any place on the globe what else could better symbolize freedom and democracy? Trump has shattered America's ideals for decades, or more honestly, revealed what was always hiding behind the façade," another commented.
Some went straight for removal. "A president who thinks like this needs to be impeached and removed from office. This is NOT a video game," one person declared. Another called for conviction: "Trump is once again threatening nuclear genocide impeach and convict this deranged narcissistic fool!"
The mockery was equally sharp. "Get this deviled egg head out of there! EMBARRASSING," one user fumed. "The old man has lost it. Time to put him in a home," wrote another.
And Then There Was the Alien
As if the nuclear space imagery wasn't enough, Trump also posted a picture of himself walking alongside a naked alien and a group of Secret Service agents, apparently at a military installation. No context. No explanation. Just vibes.
It's the kind of post that would get anyone else's account flagged. For Trump, it was just another Sunday.
Whether his supporters see the AI content as harmless fun, bold trolling, or something more concerning likely depends on which side of the political fence they're sitting on. But for many observers, a weekend of nuclear fantasy posts and alien strolls while skipping a prayer rally he personally endorsed painted an unusual picture of a president's priorities.
