Trump AI Attack

President Donald Trump uses AI-generated images to attack Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and to promote his Doral gold statue.
On May 7 2026, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated meme showing President Joe Biden asleep while Hunter Biden snorts cocaine.
Critics say the meme spreads narratives about President Biden’s health and Hunter Biden’s drug use.
Observers note a double standard, citing Trump’s frequent dozing in meetings while mocking Biden’s fatigue.

Blindspot

Left coverage emphasised the AI-generated meme portraying President Biden asleep and Hunter Biden snorting cocaine, a detail absent from Center coverage.
Left coverage also highlighted criticism of a double standard, noting reports of Trump’s frequent dozing while he trolls opponents, which Center coverage did not include.
