Trump Posts AI-Generated Videos of Laser Strike on Iranian Aircraft, Alien Images on Truth Social

On May 17, President Trump posted multiple AI-generated videos and images on Truth Social, according to New York Post. A five-second video showed a U.S. military vessel striking an Iranian aircraft with what appeared to be a high-power laser weapon, with Trump’s image in the corner narrating the scene. Trump also posted AI images depicting a muscular alien being led in chains to a military base—interpreted as commentary on immigration policy—and another image showing a space-based laser system firing toward Earth, reflecting his proposed ‘Golden Dome’ space-based missile defense concept.
