Donald Trump, even by his normal standards, had a bizarre day on social media on Sunday, posting a variety of unhinged posts, several of which contained AI elements.

Liberal commentator Harry Sisson shared a list of those posts on Sunday before calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked:

Indeed, since Friday’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner, the president has been making the joke that CNN’s Kaitlan Collins resembles Dylan Mulvaney, the social media influencer whose Bud Light social campaign was a major culture war battle three years ago.

There were also plenty of AI images of Trump either crushing different enemies, or appearing in battle. Or, in one case, placing himself on what looked like a Star Trek movie poster:

Also, as he did at the Correspondents Dinner, Trump referenced the idea of himself running for an (illegal) third term in 2028:

He also had one image with “plan trusted,” which may be a reference to the QAnon slogan “Trust the Plan”:

There was also a fake picture of Trump posting with John F. Kennedy in front of the White House:

Or whatever this is supposed to be:

Trump also reposted that controversial graph, listing the war dead from various wars throughout history, alongside the small number of people killed in the current Iran conflict. Trump has been widely criticized for that line of argument, which appears to downplay the sacrifice of the service members who lost their lives this month in connection with the Iran war.

After that came another AI image, this time of a wall on the border of the U.S. and Canada, marked as an “air filter barrier.”

Another post attacked the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, for the lack of recess appointments, compared to presidents of the past, although oddly, the group only included Ronald Reagan and the two George Bushes, and no other recent presidents:

And then there was a fake movie poster, of a “time travel epic,” showing Trump rescuing George Washington on the side of a mountain:
