Donald Trump Uses AI-Generated Images in Political Messaging

Donald Trump has become the first US president to use AI-generated imagery extensively in political messaging, sharing hyper-realistic but fabricated visuals on platforms like Truth Social. These images often glorify Trump while mocking critics, including scenes of him playing football with Cristiano Ronaldo and sunbathing with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The strategy aims to engage younger voters and has been adopted by other administration members and rivals. Some AI posts reference controversial proposals, such as turning Gaza into a resort area, which drew criticism.
