Ex-President Donald Trump posted a poorly edited image of himself, X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk and his other political allies as DC Comics superheroes.
Trump shared the image, from an X (formerly Twitter) user, on his Truth Social platform Thursday late night without a caption.
It depicts him as Superman with ‘TRUMP 2024′ typed over his chest area. Behind him are five of his allies’ faces photoshopped onto the bodies of Justice League team members.
At the top left corner is Elon Musk, who hosted a friendly live interview with Trump on X earlier this month, as Cyborg.
At the top right corner is Robert F Kennedy Jr, who suspended his independent bid for president and endorsed Trump, as Aquaman. In between them is Trump’s vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, as Batman.
Between them and Trump is Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat who endorsed him earlier this week, as Superwoman. Next to her is Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican candidate turned Trump backer, as The Flash.
The editing job was of low quality, as it had black gaps between Trump’s head and the Superman suit, as well as between Vance’s head and the Batman outfit. There were also gaps between the heads of Musk and Kennedy, and their respective superhero suits.
Trump shared the image two days after announcing his fourth collection of NFT trading cards featuring himself. Like Thursday’s image, many of the cards illustrated Trump as a hero.
A ‘SuperTrump’ card showed him clad in an Iron Man-style suit. Another showed him dramatically holding the seal of the president of the United State with clouds and sun shining through the background and the title, ‘Greatest of all time’.
Trump has long cast himself as a superhero to his base, and has often shared photoshopped or AI-generated images of himself that portray him in a glorified light.
As Vice President Kamala Harris continues to ride a wave of support and boost in the polls since President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid, Trump has welcomed support from Democratic Party defectors and influential figures like Musk to try to win the favor of voters.
