President Trump’s Truth Social feed is rarely quiet, but this Labor Day weekend it moved into new territory.
Over more than 10 hours on Sunday, September 6, the 80-year-old president fired off 37 posts on his social platform, most of them AI-generated images placing him in dystopian, historical or cinematic scenes.
One image showed Trump sitting on a throne surrounded by robotic soldiers with the caption “GIVE THEM NIGHTMARES“.
Another robot-army-themed picture showed Trump walking in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a small army of robot soldiers following him with the caption “THEY WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.”
It is unclear who “them” and “they” are referring to.
Other posts placed Trump on horseback next to George Washington, put his face on Hulk Hogan’s body, cast him at the helm of a spaceship, and dressed him in a Space Force uniform borrowing from the Star Wars Galactic Empire.
He also shared an image renaming New Mexico “New America” and one laying claim to the moon.
White House joins in with Green Lantern
The White House’s own X account posted a video depicting Trump as the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern, wielding a power ring to conjure border walls, factories and military forces.
The caption ran, “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.”

Calls for the 25th Amendment
Critics online pressed for invocation of the 25th Amendment, the constitutional mechanism that lets the vice president and a Cabinet majority declare a sitting president unable to perform the duties of the office.
“This man is unwell. 25th Amendment NOW,” progressive commentator Harry Sisson wrote, according to The Daily Beast.
The widely followed Republicans Against Trump account wrote, “Trump is absolutely losing it. 25th Amendment now.” A third account, Call to Activism, asked, “What exactly is the 25th Amendment for, if not this?”
Vice President JD Vance and members of Trump’s Cabinet have shown no interest in triggering the process, the outlet reported.
Any removal would also require a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress if the president contested it.
