One day after sharing a widely condemned AI-generated photo of Donald Trump as the Pope, the White House returned Saturday to X with another Trump meme, this time with the president styled as what his social media team appears to believe is a beefed-up, patriotic Jedi — despite the fact that the president is holding a red lightsaber.
Though it could be inferred from that caption that the White House intended to present Trump as Jedi, the image notably shows him holding a red lightsaber — a hallmark of the Sith, stewards of the Dark Side. Based on that detail, it’s unclear if the White House intended to celebrate “Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members” or decry them.
