President Donald Trump shared an eyebrow-raising, AI-generated photo featuring the commander-in-chief shirtless alongside members of his cabinet and an unidentified, bikini-clad woman.
On Friday, May 1, Trump, 79, went on another social media spree, sharing several posts to his social media platform, Truth Social. One post featured an AI-generated photo of Trump, sans a shirt, sitting in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool alongside Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum.
The photo also featured an unidentified woman — notably not the president’s wife, first lady Melania Trump — wearing a string bikini and sporting a pair of sunglasses.
Fake, AI-generated Trump and Vance, 41, give a thumbs up in the faux pic, while the pseudo president lounges in an inflatable chair. Fake Rubio, 54, and fake Burgum, 69, simply smiled.
In another Truth Social post, Trump shared an AI-generated photo of his face imposed on the iconic Mount Rushmore, which in real life features 60-foot sculpted faces of four former U.S. presidents representing over 150 years of American history — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The new batch of fake images from the president come less than one month after the former reality TV star announced his plans to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — one of many “renovations” Trump has planned for Washington, D.C. in an effort to remake the nation’s Capitol in his image.
“President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, are proud to be fixing the once beautiful Reflecting Pool between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial,” Trump wrote via Truth Social on April 9. “We were told it was going to take YEARS to do this job, and it will take a fraction of that time, at a fraction of the cost — and it will be much more beautiful than the day it was built! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The president has also “privately advocated” for the Eisenhower Executive Office Building — located next to the White House — to be covered in so-called “magic paint,” a silicate-based product, per CNN, and has already demolished the historic East Wing of the White House in order to make way for his multi-million dollar state ballroom.
Trump has also come under fire after deciding to unceremoniously rename the iconic Kennedy Center building to the Trump-Kennedy Center.
“Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on,” Maria Shriver, a member of the Kennedy family wrote via Instagram at the time.
“Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified,” she continued. “This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think someone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…”
