President Donald Trump, 80, posted 37 times on Truth Social on Sunday, using AI-generated images and captions to move from current political difficulties into a series of fantasy scenarios.

The Republican president is facing weak polling and ongoing controversy surrounding his administration’s handling of Iran. In the afternoon, he turned to AI content that centred on George Washington, including a painting generated to depict Trump on horseback alongside the founding US president in a scene set more than 200 years ago.

In one post, Trump portrayed Washington as an onlooker looking up at him. In another, he shared an image captioned “President Washington visits President Trump”, showing the former general seated beside him inside the Oval Office.

Trump has previously highlighted himself as the “greatest” American president, a claim he made in a post last week. The Sunday sequence extended that theme into further AI prompts that placed him in other roles and settings.

AI Fantasies with George Washington

Trump’s Washington-focused posts depict the first US president in ways that place him directly in Trump’s orbit, including scenes set in the Oval Office. The images were shared as part of a broader burst of AI-themed content posted over several hours.

Trump in Hulk Hogan, Space and Robots

Trump also shared AI images that cast him as other characters and commanders. One post showed his face superimposed onto Hulk Hogan’s body. Another presented Trump as the leader of a dystopian robot army.

Other images placed him at the helm of a spaceship. Trump also used AI content to rename New Mexico as “New America”, and he made a claim about the moon in a separate post.

Among the military-themed items was an apparently AI-generated design board for a Space Force uniform. The layout and styling appeared to borrow elements associated with the Galactic Empire from the film franchise Star Wars, according to the description of the post.

Images from the Working World and Mar-a-Lago

Trump also used AI to depict himself in working-class settings. One image showed him leaning out of a McDonald’s drive-through window, while another depicted him behind the wheel of a large truck.

He ended the run of posts with a glowing tribute to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, presenting it as a prominent base for his political messaging. In the final post of the day, Trump wrote that the Mar-a-Lago Club was “the Best in the World” and said it served as a “Southern White House” that was “free of charge”, before adding “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” and signing the message with his name.

Trump has increasingly relied on extended bursts of Truth Social activity. Last month, he shared more than 1,000 posts, averaging roughly 33 a day.

Natalie Harp, an aide associated with Trump, has long been credited with helping shape his postings by providing potential prompts, which were described as being drawn from online material and right-wing websites. Harp is reported to receive a taxpayer-funded salary of $150,000.

Approval Ratings Raise Pressure for Midterms

The Sunday AI posting spree comes as Republicans prepare for the midterm elections amid concerns about Trump’s approval ratings. A Reuters/Ipsos survey released last month found that 33% of Americans approved of Trump’s performance, while 64% disapproved, the lowest approval level of his presidency.

Surely the polls only count for someone that can run for office again?

Why would he care, he still has two years left, he can do what he likes.

Wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on picking out a new Dem contender?

One that isn't a madwoman?
