Donald Trump shares another AI image of himself sitting on a throne, but this time, he has a Nazi eagle behind him

After his outrageous AI stunt during the No Kings protests, President Donald Trump has again shared an AI-generated picture of himself as a monarch. But he probably forgot to look at the Nazi symbol in the background before posting.

Trump isn’t giving up on his dictatorship dreams anytime soon. Whether he posts these images to troll people who call him a fascist or to reveal his hidden fantasies, it’s not looking good. His previous AI post wearing a crown, and another AI video of shit-dumping over protesters from a “King Trump” jet, received substantial backlash online. But this time, it’s going to get worse.

On his Truth Social on Nov. 23, Trump re-posted a Warhammer 40k God-Emperor-styled AI-generated image of himself, captioned “NONE shall escape his justice.” At first glance, it was nothing but hilarious, minus the narcissism dripping from it. But soon, users noticed the emblem on his throne. To everyone’s horror, it was strikingly similar to the Nazi eagle.

Trump’s AI image has a Nazi war eagle in the back

In the image, Trump is dressed up in a golden-blue Emperor of Mankind-style armor, with big Thanos gloves, knee-high boots, and a huge crown. At his feet are three suited-up officials on their knees, believed to be Democratic senators Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Adam Schiff. But the embellishment on his throne resembles the Nazi war eagle, only without the Nazi symbol.

The unified forces of Nazi Germany, called the Wehrmacht, famously used a similar symbol as their emblem. Though the eagle as a symbol of power has been around in Germany way before the Nazi rule, it was modified by the Nazi army. Previously famous as the Reichsadler, Adolf Hitler rechristened it the “Parteiadler” and made it their party’s insignia. (via Digital Cosmonaut)

What was the Nazi war eagle?

As a Nazi party symbol, the eagle was supposed to face left, with its wing spread, and its claws grasping a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the Nazi symbol. Strikingly, the eagle on Trump’s throne is also facing left in the AI-generated image. So, Trump either dreams of becoming a violent dictator like Hitler, or he missed the symbol in the image before reposting it.

Either way, these childish attempts to troll his political opponents are only making him a laughingstock. Because this time, as one user on X puts it, he isn’t just projecting himself as a king. “He appears to be associating himself with the God Emperor of the Imperium from Warhammer 40k.” And who’s that exactly? “The ultimate theocratic space fascist.”
