President of the United States Donald Trump Sparks controversy after sharing AI-generated image of him and New York governor Kathy Hochul in a basketball-themed setting. The post, shared on Truth Social, appeared to place the two politicians in a stylized sporting confrontation scenario, viewed as a symbolic “face-off” rather than an actual event.
The image spread across social media platforms, with users questioning its tone and intent, with many believing it was unusual for a sitting president to share such content.
Alongside the image, Trump wrote: “President Donald J. Trump vs. failed New York Governor Kathy Hochul, if people are smart they will vote for Bruce Blackman – he will make New York great again! President DJT”
Internet reaction
The AI ​​image sparked immediate reactions online, with users mocking the visuals and framing of the post. One comment read: “Every day he finds new ways to humiliate not just himself, but the entire country.”

Another comment read: “It is indeed impossible to lower the dignity of office as Donald Trump did. It’s true that power doesn’t change you, it only reveals who you really are. “
Another wrote: “Not even a 7 year old would post something so ridiculous.”
Trump’s AI craze
The controversy adds to a growing list of AI generated images Trump recently shared online. Earlier this week, Trump posted a photo of himself kneeling next to a rhino while holding a shotgun. He also previously posted an edited photo of former President Joe Biden asleep on his desk in the Oval Office, with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton standing behind him.
These are just a few of his posts on his latest AI craze.

Earlier this year, shortly after reopening public debate over the future of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, the president sparked backlash when he reposted an artificial intelligence-created visual depicting himself in papal-style garb.
Then in April, Trump shared an AI-generated image that appeared to depict him as a Jesus-like figure healing the sick. Trump later deleted the post, and reports said the image was actually intended to portray him as a doctor rather than a religious figure.
