Donald Trump was widely ridiculed on social media after posting an AI generated image on Truth Social that appeared to show him walking through a desert base with a Secret Service detail guarding a handcuffed alien. Critics branded the image 'pathetic' and unpresidential.
The post surfaced during what OK! Magazine described as a Sunday afternoon barrage on Trump's preferred platform, with around 25 AI generated images and videos shared over several hours. Many placed him at the centre of dramatic sci fi scenes, but the alien image drew the strongest reaction because of its surreal mix of presidential imagery and internet meme culture.
