Donald Trump prompted fresh calls for the 25th Amendment in Washington on Sunday night after posting an AI-generated image of himself arresting an alien on Truth Social, just hours after issuing a sharp threat to Iran over the war in the Middle East.
The reaction came after a string of posts that unsettled critics and supporters alike. Trump had recently warned that 'the clock is ticking' for Iran, language widely read as an escalation as diplomatic efforts stalled. Against that backdrop, the decision to share a stylised fictional image of him in combat gear detaining an extraterrestrial figure only deepened questions about his judgement.
