Saturday began with a widespread, albeit baseless, rumor that President Donald Trump was dead or about to die. By the time of his morning golf outing, it was clear that Trump was alive, if not necessarily well.

Then, the president spent much of the day posting numerous memes to his Truth Social account, some of which were generated by AI. One of those included what looked like an ominous message:

Featuring a likely AI-generated image of Trump standing in front of the world covered in fire, the meme included the phrase “The world will soon understand nothing can stop what is coming.”

The Daily Beast described it as part of a “bizarre AI posting spree,” others of which included Trump dressed as a police officer and an ICE agent. The Beast noted that while they were posted to Truth Social, “all of the posts Trump linked to were made on X, formerly Twitter, which the president now only posts to sparingly, preferring to publish the majority of his announcements on his own platform, Truth Social, after he was temporarily banned from Facebook and Twitter following the January 6 Capitol riots.”

Politico noticed back in May, in a post asking if Trump thinks he’s God, that Trump had posted a different meme to Truth Social that also included the phrase “NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING,” following the Blues Brothers-style slogan that “HE’S ON A MISSION FROM GOD.”

There were quite a few shocked reactions to the post. And as one person pointed out, the image contains a QAnon symbol, on Trump’s hand:

Leading QAnon promoter Liz Crokin noticed as well:

 

And of course, the “Gavin Newsom Press Office” account posted its usual schtick in response.
