Read our Privacy notice President Donald Trump posted about everything from time travel to the Iran war in his latest bizarre Truth Social posting spree. In a series of posts using A.I. images shared on Sunday, Trump uploaded a fake movie poster showing himself saving George Washington at Mount Rushmore , a mocked-up image of a border wall with Canada and various hints he might run again in 2028. “The past was about to change,” the imagined “Trump x Washington” film’s tagline reads. “History was about to be saved.” open image in gallery President Trump shared a slew of Truth Social posts on Sunday night, including an A.I.-generated movie poster depicting time travel and former President George Washington ( @realDonaldTrump/Truth Social ) Trump’s social media spree also saw him sharing an A.I. generated poster for a scifi movie called “Cosmic Commander”, using a symbol similar to the insignia in Star Trek. The president ’s social media spree saw him upload over 40 posts in six hours. The main theme of his posts was the U.S. ’s war with Iran, which has seen hostilities increasing between the two countries in recent weeks. One post showed U.S. fighter planes unleashing their fire on Kharg Island , a key oil terminal in the Strait of Hormuz . open image in gallery Trump also shared an image of explosions rocking Iran while he loomed over the country ( @realDonaldTrump/Truth Social ) Another showed the president looming large in the sky, while military jets soared across the country. Explosions can be seen rocking an area marked as “Iran,” while a caption reads: “Guardians of the World.” Trump sported a hat reading “FAFO” in one A.I.-generated image, while at the helm of a boat manned by military personnel. open image in gallery Trump also shared an AI-generated image of himself sporting an 'FAFO' hat ( @realDonaldTrump/Truth Social ) The posts were uploaded on the same day that Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told Fox News Sunday that strikes on Iran had been paused as Trump was “giving talks some space.” Another presidential bid by Trump was the focus of several other posts, with the commander-in-chief sharing an image of himself smoking a cigar and sporting a hat reading “TRUMP 2028.” A gigantic “TRUMP 2028” mug was featured in one post, surrounded by a ring of people screaming at the sky. The wide-ranging social media blitz also saw Trump airing old grievances, as he took swipes at Canada and CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins . open image in gallery The president shared an AI-generated image of a wall dividing Canada and the US during his Truth Social blitz ( @realDonaldTrump/Truth Social ) One image showed an “air filter barrier” spanning the U.S.-Canada border, seemingly referencing his complaints about wildfire smoke from the latter country blowing over to the former. The upload echoed his infamous border wall that became a central pillar of his 2016 presidential pitch . Despite his complaints about Canada’s air quality, the image shows bright, blue skies with some cloud on both sides of the barrier. open image in gallery Trump shared a second sci-fi-themed poster on Truth Social during Sunday's posting spree ( Cosmic Commander ) Kaitlan Collins was the subject of a post referencing a long-running MAGA talking point – a Budweiser promotion starring transgender social media personality Dylan Mulvaney . The image showed Collins’s face being placed onto Mulvaney’s body , as she appeared in the 2023 campaign. Trump had complained about both Mulvaney’s partnership with the beer brand and Collins during his poorly-received speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Friday.
