Trump goes on bizarre Truth Social posting blitz including picture of Obama in prison and AI image bombing Iranian ships

President Donald Trump went on a Truth Social posting blitz Sunday morning, sharing AI-generated images of former President Barack Obama and other political enemies in prison — as well as a picture of bombs being dropped on Iranian ships.

Trump shared what appeared to be mugshots of Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, and six others, arranged in a way similar to the opening credits of The Brady Bunch. However, instead of the show’s title in the center, the image read: “The Shady Bunch.”

“This is a bad (Sick!) group of people. Very destructive to our great Nation. Caused tremendous damage through Weaponization!” Trump posted on Sunday morning.

Trump then shared a series of images of himself and Chinese President Xi Jinping - including one in which he claimed “President Trump gets YOUNGER” - before posting the AI-generated image of bombs being dropped on Iranian ships. That image had the word “Adios” written across the top.

The 79-year-old president’s lengthy social media spree comes as the U.S. and Iran reportedly near a deal that would end the months-long war.

The deal, which would see the Strait of Hormuz reopen, had largely been negotiated, though Iran had not yet agreed to give up its uranium.

“The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side,” Trump said on social media Sunday, adding that the relationship between the U.S. and Iran is becoming “much more professional and productive.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while on a visit to India, said that “significant progress” was made in negotiations and that the world would no longer have to fear Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian told state TV they were ready “to assure the world that we are not after a nuclear weapon.” However, Iran’s embassy in India replied to Rubio on social media, writing that Tehran has an “inalienable” right to nuclear technology.

Trump has gone on a staggering number of Truth Social posting sprees in recent weeks, including on Friday, when he shared AI-generated posts about his hopes to acquire Greenland and a Golden Dome missile defense shield for the White House.

The president shared his thoughts on Truth Social a whopping 565 times in April, resulting in about 18 post a day — a third of which happened overnight, according to the Daily Beast.

The total is more than double the 250 posts he made in April 2018 during his first term in the White House.

Some of his more recent posts have drew backlash, including one of an AI image depicting him as Jesus.

The Independent has reached out to the White House for comment on Trump’s latest posting spree.
