The White House has shared a generated image depicting former President Donald Trump as a muscular Jedi, coinciding with the celebration of what many fans call “Star Wars Day,” or the “4th of May.” The illustration shows Trump wielding a lightsaber and flanked by two bald eagles, which symbolize America.
This image was released shortly after Trump revealed intentions to reopen and expand the historic Alcatraz prison, which has been shut for over six decades. He has portrayed himself as taking a stand against “dangerous prisoners,” indicating a focus on individuals like murderers, drug lords, and members of the notorious MS-13 gang.
It could be a happy four days for everyone. This includes Sith lords, murderers, drug lords, dangerous prisoners, and radical left madmen fighting hard to introduce members of the well-known MS-13 gang into the galaxy. You are not a rebellion – you are an empire.
I hope the four days will be with you. pic.twitter.com/g883dhdrr5

May the 4th is a day when fans of the franchise celebrate the vast universe of Star Wars. The term has gained traction, particularly due to its clever wordplay connecting the date to the iconic phrase “May the Force be with you.” Interestingly, the phrase found its way into British political culture when it was used in an advertisement celebrating Margaret Thatcher’s election victory on May 4, 1979.
Within the Star Wars lore, Jedi are peacekeepers who wield blue or green lightsabers and adhere to a strict moral code, opposing the dark side users who are often depicted with red lightsabers.
The AI-generated image of Trump features him holding a red lightsaber, a color typically linked to Sith Lords like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
Previously, the White House also shared an AI creation of Trump dressed as the Pope, which surfaced after Pope Francis’ funeral and prior to the Vatican Conclave aimed at choosing a new Pope.
