Trump as Jedi stirs Star Wars day at the White House
Donald Trump like a Jedi warrior from "Star Wars"? On the White House's social media profile on 4th May, a surprising graphic created with the help of AI appeared. Both the image itself and the caption refer to George Lucas's iconic film series. The date, on the other hand, is not coincidental.
What do you need to know?
- 4th May is a day that "Star Wars" fans celebrate as the series' holiday, which inspired the White House to publish an unusual graphic.
- Donald Trump was depicted as a Jedi warrior.
- The post on the White House profile also included references to political opponents, comparing them to the Empire from "Star Wars."
"Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire" - a post of this content appeared on the White House profile on the X service.
Below the text, a graphic was published where Donald Trump looks like a muscular Jedi warrior from "Star Wars."
The phrase "May the 4th be with you" also refers to the already iconic line "May the Force be with you," which recurs in the film series.
4th May - an important day for "Star Wars" fans
The date of publication is not coincidental. 4th May is an unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans. The date was chosen from the phonetic transformation of the film's phrase "May the Force be with You!" which sounds similar to "May the 4th be with You!"
The White House, in a previous post, also highlighted that "on 4th May 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea began, resulting in a monumental victory for the Allied forces and becoming a turning point in the Pacific during World War II."
Trump like the Pope
This is not the first instance where the American president's administration presents surprising or even controversial posters.
Late on Friday evening, Trump posted on social media a graphic where he is seated on a gilded chair in a white papal cassock. This is a clear reference to his words a few days ago when he joked about wanting to become the pope.
