On Sunday morning, Trump launched a flurry of posts on Truth Social, sharing AI-created images of former President Barack Obama and other political rivals in jail, along with a picture showing bombs being dropped on Iranian ships.
He posted what looked like mugshots of Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, and six others, laid out like the opening sequence of The Brady Bunch.
Instead of the show’s title in the center, the image said: “The Shady Bunch.”
“This is a bad (Sick!)
group of people. Very harmful to our great Nation. They caused a lot of damage through Weaponization!” Trump wrote on Sunday morning.
He also shared several images of himself with Chinese President Xi Jinping, including one claiming “President Trump gets YOUNGER,” before posting the AI-generated picture of bombs hitting Iranian ships, which had “Adios” written at the top.
The 79-year-old president’s extensive social media activity comes as reports suggest the U.S. and Iran are close to reaching a deal to end a prolonged conflict.
This agreement, which would allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, was mostly negotiated, but Iran had not yet agreed to stop its uranium production.
“The negotiations are going well, and I have told my representatives not to rush into a deal since time is on our side,” Trump stated on social media Sunday, adding that U.S.-Iran relations are becoming “much more professional and productive.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a trip to India, mentioned that “significant progress” had been made in negotiations, reassuring that the world would no longer need to worry about Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian told state television that they are ready “to assure the world that we are not seeking a nuclear weapon.”
However, Iran’s embassy in India responded to Rubio on social media, stating that Tehran has an “inalienable” right to nuclear technology.
In recent weeks, Trump has made a remarkable number of posts on Truth Social, including on Friday when he shared AI-generated posts about his desires to acquire Greenland and a Golden Dome missile defense shield for the White House.
Trump posted a staggering 565 times on Truth Social in April, averaging about 18 posts a day—one-third of which were made overnight, according to the Daily Beast.
This total is more than double the 250 posts he made in April 2018 during his first term as president.
Some of his recent posts have attracted criticism, including an AI image showing him as Jesus.
