President Donald Trump mocked multiple right-wing critics, including Tucker Carlson and former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, in an AI-generated photo on Saturday. This move is part of his ongoing habit of portraying political foes unfavorably using artificial intelligence.
Trump's Truth Social post featured a fake image of Carlson, Greene, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), far-right commentator Candace Owens, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) crowded together in an SUV. In the AI image, a smiling Massie sat at the wheel, with Greene to his right in the front passenger seat. Carlson was squeezed between Owens and Boebert in the middle row, while Paul appeared in the far backseat with a smirk. The group of MAGA outliers presumably drove through Washington, D.C., with the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The photo was captioned: “Get in loser, we’re going losing.”
The post came after Massie lost the Republican primary earlier this month to challenger Ed Gallrein, who was backed by the president. Trump also withdrew his support for Greene, whom he called “wacky” and accused of having “gone Far Left.” Additionally, Trump referred to Carlson and Owens as “low IQ” people and attacked Boebert for her support of Massie and her push to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Rand has also faced criticism from Trump for voting against GOP key issues.
In a separate post, Trump shared a fake image of himself wearing a New York Knicks jersey and slam dunking on Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY). The caption read: “PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP vs. Kathy Hochul, New York’s failed Governor who, if people are smart, will vote for Bruce Blakeman — He will, MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!” This appeared to be a response to Hochul jeering Trump's Knicks fandom last week by challenging him to name the starting lineup of the “1993 championship team.” Hochul was ridiculed online after she apparently mixed up the dates, as the Knicks have not won an NBA championship since 1973.
