In a spree of posts made to his Truth Social account on Saturday, Donald Trump lauded his administration’s efforts to turn the National Mall’s reflecting pool blue, denounced a judge’s ruling removing his name from the Kennedy Center and announced he will hold an “America Is Back” rally next month to replace a concert series after a number of performers backed out.
After arriving at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, at 11.08am, Trump posted to his social media platform 25 times in the next two hours. The president’s posts included a series of apparently AI-generated images, including one of him playing for the New York Knicks and dunking over New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul; another of him riding a horse alongside George Washington and a Trump-branded race car tearing up the White House lawn; and one depicting the “Obama presidential library” as a huge garbage can holding a giant trash bag.
In two lengthy posts, Trump decried the musical artists who backed out of a summer concert series planned to celebrate the United States’s 250th anniversary, and a judge’s ruling finding that the Kennedy Center memorial cannot be renamed for Trump without an act of Congress.
