Summary
As the US president struggles to end his war with Iran, and with his approval ratings hitting the lowest levels of his second term, he has in recent weeks posted a series of AI-generated images of himself alongside key historical American figures. Facing tough questions over reports of poor living conditions and morale aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln following its record-breaking deployment, and his efforts to reach a deal with Tehran, Trump has repeatedly turned to his Truth Social platform to post images apparently designed to bolster his legacy. Earlier this month, he posted an AI image of himself and Washington standing side by side in what appears to be an imagining of Trump’s completed White House ballroom.
