The White House has recently found itself caught in the whirlwind of AI-generated posts, with Donald Trump at the center of each debacle. From AI-generated images to polarizing statements
, the public has been left divided. Whether it is the online shenanigans, the comments or the timing of these posts, they have all ended up painting him in a negative light and are still doing so.
As the White House keeps posting AI-generated moments that cause a ruckus, another post is added to the mix, fueling the fire. With tensions running high from the previous incidents, this one is already the talk of the internet.
White House AI post turns Donald Trump into a May the 4th Jedi gone wrong
On May 4th, the White House shared an AI-generated image of a shirtless, muscular Donald Trump in Jedi robes, holding a red lightsaber.
The internet quickly noticed the problem—red sabers are a weapon of the Sith, not Jedi, sparking confusion and debate online. With bald eagles, American flags, and galaxy-saving rhetoric thrown in, the post lit up X
, turning a pop culture celebration into a politically charged meme moment. Was it satire, strategy, or a Force-level blunder?
Posted by the official White House account on May 4, the image instantly raised eyebrows. While the caption rallied against “Radical Left Lunatics,”
“MS-13 gang members
“, and “Sith Lords”
supposedly returning to the galaxy, the red lightsaber undercut the message. Star Wars
fans highlighted the visual contradiction, noting that Sith Lords—not Jedi—wield red blades. The image was seemingly intended to portray Trump as a heroic Jedi figure, but the red saber flipped the script, casting him in a villain’s light instead
. The Star Wars-
themed chaos was not the only AI-generated moment making waves.
Days earlier, the White House had posted something far more questionable
, the details of which left many questioning the line between satire and insensitivity. From Trump’s jab at Taylor Swift
to these viral AI stunts, the backlash is snowballing fast.
White House AI post of Donald Trump in Papal attire that sparked massive outrage
Before the Star Wars
Day lightsaber theatrics, the White House was already under fire for another AI stunt—this time with Donald Trump dressed as the Pope. The image was posted just days after Pope Francis’s passing, depicting Trump in full papal regalia.
The tweet ignited instant outrage from Catholic leaders who deemed it tone-deaf and deeply offensive at a moment of mourning and global religious transition.
U.S. President Donald Trump drew strong online criticism after posting a picture of himself dressed in the Pope’s regalia.

The backlash came swiftly on social media. The New York State Catholic Conference slammed the image, saying it disrespected the solemn moment as the Vatican prepared for a new papal conclave.
A Vatican reporter echoed the criticism, stating the president turned a global farewell into a viral meme. On the other side, Vice President JD Vance defended the image, calling it harmless humor. He posted on X that jokes are fine
—unlike “stupid w—,”
as reported by The Independent.
From here the whole AI situation instead of taking a back-seat doubled down for Trump’s next AI debate forum with the red lightsaber Jedi.
