President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image Sunday night depicting himself launching a nuclear strike, drawing alarm from social media users.
The image shows Trump pressing a large red button as a massive explosion with a mushroom cloud strikes Earth.
The post continues a pattern of controversial generative artificial intelligence, or GenAI, imagery that Trump has shared, including a 2025 image of Chicago consumed by flames and a recent depiction of himself as a Jesus Christ-like figure.
Podcast host and content creator Jeff Nadu, cursed out the president, calling Trump a "nutcase," on an X post.
Political commentator Evan Jacobs sarcastically noted the irony of a president who may have "dementia" having power to "destroy the earth whenever he feels like it."
Documentary filmmaker Armstrong Clarke characterized the post as evidence of America's collapse, sharing on X, "The most powerful man on earth is making movie posters about himself," adding, "This is what happens when a 79 year old discovers Midjourney and has access to actual missiles."
