President Donald Trump went on an early morning Truth Social posting spree including AI-generated images that suggested using lasers to win the Iran war, and details of his upcoming birthday plans.
In posts made at around 5.30 a.m. Friday, the president appeared to defend the war as well as describing his 80th birthday on June 14 as the “biggest ever.”
“Lasers: Bing, Bing, GONE!!!” read one post, featuring an image of an American battleship taking down a plane marked with an Iranian flag using a laser beam.
Another image showed Trump with UFC president Dana White outside the White House, flanked by armed soldiers and with aircraft flying overhead. “June 14th. Biggest ever!!! DJT,” the president captioned that picture.
Trump also described the ongoing conflict in Iran as an “excursion” and compared it to the lengths of other U.S. conflicts including the Vietnam War and World War II. The conflict, nicknamed Operation Epic Fury, began on February 28 and has now been raging for around six weeks.
In other posts the president made bold claims about the economy and the price of oil, claiming the former was at an “all time high,” and that the latter was lower than during the presidency of Joe Biden, who he referred to again as “sleepy Joe.”
