What About Posts Featuring Former Presidents?
A running theme of some of the posts made by Trump appeared to show him as the savior of the country on par with other important former presidents. One AI-generated poster labeled “America First” depicts Trump being flanked by three people who appear to be George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Another deepfake shows a present-day Trump standing next to John F. Kennedy in front of the White House—with no accompanying caption or context. The last of the 43 posts is a fake AI-generated movie poster titled “Trump X Washington”, showing Trump saving George Washington.

In the middle of the AI posting spree, Trump shared a bar graph that attacked Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. The graph titled “Where is John Thune” compared the hundreds of recess appointments made during the terms of President Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush with zero made during Trump’s term. Recess appointments are temporary appointments made by a president for vacant federal roles when the Senate is in recess. The post failed to mention that zero recess appointments were made during former President Joe Biden’s term as well. This was followed by another apparent AI-generated post of Trump as a doctor pointing at a human spine and the caption: “You see this spine? This is what I want to put back in Republicans.”
