Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to post an AI-generated image showing him bombing the Earth, minutes after his pre-taped Bible reading played at a MAGA-friendly prayer event on the National Mall.
The image, which Trump unleashed as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) prayed for “mercy upon our land” and “mercy upon us for our mistakes,” shows the president pressing a red button on a control panel while inside some sort of space station or starship orbiting above the planet.
The visual features Trump surrounded by small, military-like figures seated by the control panel as several screens show massive explosions taking place on the ground.
At least one screen shows a mushroom cloud-like blast alongside the text, “TARGET DESTROYED.”
The out-of-this-world image shared by the self-described “peace” president is a kind of fantastical continuation of his recent tendency to post genocidal threats on the platform.
The visuals were part of an extraterrestrial-themed posting tear that arrived as thousands took to Washington, D.C., to hear from controversial speakers and Trump officials at a taxpayer-funded, all-day event called “Rededicate 250.”
Trump, who shared an AI-generated Space Force-themed image showing him working aboard a spacecraft earlier in the weekend, took to Truth Social on Sunday morning to express his hopes that attendees were having a “GOOD TIME” at the event.
But — in the lead-up to his pre-taped reading and afterward — he didn’t pay the evangelical-heavy event any mind online as he dribbled out a series of bizarre memes, made-for-MAGA attacks against his opponents and a spread of space-themed posts on the platform.
One such image depicted Trump wearing sunglasses and commanding a “Star Wars”-like droid army flying American flags as the Space Force logo appeared overhead.
Another showed the president helping escort an alien life form in handcuffs away as he’s flanked by men dressed in suits and at least one U.S. military member.
Trump later reshared the planet-destroying image at the same time as a pastor preached about Jesus Christ on the National Mall stage.
And another AI illustration showed a stern-faced president manning a spacecraft as missiles fired away in outer space behind him.
