Trump’s AI-Generated Truth Social Spree Sparks 25th Amendment Calls
9/7/2026, 10:46:37 PM
Core Event
On a Sunday afternoon, President Donald J. Trump spent more than ten hours posting AI-generated images and captions to Truth Social. The barrage included a portrait of Trump on horseback beside George Washington, a mock Space Force uniform resembling the Galactic Empire, an imagined defeat of Iran, a map renaming New Mexico to “New America,” and a claim that the United States “owns the Moon.” Other posts showed Trump in a Hulk-style body, a truck driver’s vest, and a video of a red-shirted Robert De Niro proclaiming “TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT.” The content was posted without explanation, and several items were later deleted.
Background & Context
Trump’s Truth Social activity has intensified since he left office. In August, he posted more than 1,000 times—about 33 posts per day. His approval rating has slipped to 33 % with 64 % disapproval (Reuters/Ipsos). The AI-driven posts follow a pattern of geographic rebranding that began with an executive order in January 2025 renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” and continued with the August 27, 2026 order renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”
Data & Statistics
- Posting volume: Over 1,000 Truth Social posts in August 2026.
- Public opinion: 33 % approve; 64 % disapprove (Reuters/Ipsos).
- Renaming opposition: 63 % opposed the Lake Ontario rename, 14 % supported it.
Official Statements & Responses
The White House reposted Trump’s New Mexico map on X, clarifying that the image does not constitute an official name change and that a president cannot unilaterally rename a state. When approached for comment on the AI-driven posting spree, the White House declined to respond.
Criticism & Opposition
Several commentators have called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. Harry Sisson, a progressive influencer, posted a list of the Sunday posts and wrote, “This man is unwell. 25th Amendment NOW.” A Republican-focused account, Republican Against Trump, also demanded immediate action. Analysts note that removal would be difficult because the president could contest the declaration, and the required two-thirds congressional supermajority would likely be unattainable.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
It remains unclear whether Trump knew the Robert De Niro image was fabricated before sharing it. Some AI posts were later deleted without explanation, leaving gaps in the record of what was originally posted.
Verbatim Quotes
- “This man is unwell. 25th Amendment NOW,” — Harry Sisson
- “A string of absolutely bonkers Truth Social posts from Trump in the span of about 10 minutes,” — Aaron Rupar, political journalist
- “I will never understand how so many people just let this happen day in and day out. Those entrusted with our country’s well being have not only failed to act, they’ve been complicit. The shameless cowardice, self-preservation, and raw ambition of our era is astonishing.” — Honestly America
What’s Next
The controversy is expected to influence political discourse ahead of the midterm elections, with lawmakers and constitutional scholars monitoring any formal moves to invoke the 25th Amendment. No official proceedings have been announced, and the president has offered no public response to the calls for removal.
