With the slogan “Make America Great Again,” the White House published an AI‑generated image portraying US President Donald Trump as fictional spy James Bond.
The post came shortly after reports that Amazon MGM Studios has launched auditions to find the next James Bond following Daniel Craig’s departure from the role.
Reactions
The image quickly went viral but mainly triggered ironic comments and memes on social media.
Users pointed out that Trump would be an unlikely fit for the role, given that James Bond is a British intelligence agent working for MI6.
Others used the image to create satirical posts, with parody memes circulating widely and mocking the concept.
Some users also shared altered AI versions of the image, turning it into humorous variations that further amplified discussion online.
It is not the first time Trump or the White House has used AI‑generated imagery with strong symbolism or exaggerated elements, as similar images portraying him in different iconic roles have been posted in the past.
