President Donald Trump posted a stream of AI-generated images and a series of sweeping and unverified claims on Truth Social on Sunday, including saying that he has made hundreds of billions of dollars on stocks and other holdings for the U.S.
The 80-year-old commander in chief spent more than 10 hours on Sunday posting dozens of apparently AI-generated images on his social media platform. The posts included a depiction of Iran's defeat, Trump on horseback with George Washington, and an apparently AI-generated image of Robert De Niro holding a shirt that read, "Trump is my president."
One AI image appears to show the president sitting in front of several monitors in the White House tracking the stock market with a caption that reads: "I do this for our Country, not myself. I've made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do!"
While the post offered no evidence for the claim, the Trump Administration took a 10% stake in semiconductor giant Intel in August 2025, which is now worth over $50 billion.
Trump has previously come under fire for launching "Truth API," a $100,000-a-month Truth Social feature that gives early access to announcements about policy decisions that could move financial markets. U.S. Senators urged the Securities and Exchange Commission in July to investigate whether Trump Media — the parent company behind Truth Social — is violating applicable federal securities laws with Truth API.
