John Oliver has called out Donald Trump for posting an AI-generated image of himself on social media. The viral image, shared on Truth Social on May 1, shows a shirtless Trump lounging on an inflatable chair in the Reflecting Pool. He’s joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
John Oliver makes fun of Donald Trump posting AI image
During the latest episode of his talk show, Last Week Tonight, John Oliver mocked Donald Trump’s recent AI-generated image. He also commented on Trump’s ongoing renovation project for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Making fun of the viral AI photo, Oliver said, “Trump seems to be obsessed with the Reflecting Pool, posting about it over two dozen times—while I will remind you, this country is at war—sometimes in the form of AI slop like this, depicting Trump, JD Vance, and some Cabinet members floating in it.”
Oliver further quipped, “That is an image in which Trump seems to have photoshopped his head onto the body of a man 50 years younger. And yet, JD Vance being invited to a pool party is still the least realistic part about it.”
Most recently, Trump gave an update on his renovation plans for the Reflecting Pool. In a Saturday Truth Social post, the POTUS shared an image of the historic landmark, writing, “Looking really good! Should be completed before the Fourth of July, our target date.”
Last week, Oliver also slammed Trump for his controversial White House ballroom project. “It should really go without saying, if you are a president who’d rather focus on ballroom construction and pool maintenance than the crucial work of actually running a country, then I think it is fair to say, to borrow a phrase that I heard recently, you are not a smart f—ing person,” the talk show host said.
