Bizarre photo of Trump as Superman shared by White House has people questioning one thing
The White House has set social media ablaze with a bizarre post depicting Donald Trump as Superman, leaving users divided between mockery and praise. The edited image, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows Trump’s face superimposed on the superhero’s body with the caption: *”THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP.”*
The timing coincided with the release of the new *Superman* movie, but the meme quickly backfired. Critics, including California Rep. Robert Garcia, fired back, calling Trump *”literally Lex Luthor”*—Superman’s archenemy. Political analyst Mehdi Hasan questioned the double standard, noting such a post would’ve been lambasted if shared by Biden’s team.
Many users expressed disbelief, with one comparing the surreal moment to the satire film *Idiocracy*. Others highlighted Superman’s backstory as an immigrant hero, contrasting it with Trump’s policies. *”Trump is the total opposite of Superman,”* argued AI creator Mario Pawlowski.
However, supporters rallied behind the post, hailing Trump as *”untouchable”* and *”unstoppable.”* One fan declared him *”the real Superman”* for surviving investigations unscathed.
The meme racked up 18.8 million views in under 18 hours, fueling heated debates. While critics dismissed it as cringe-worthy propaganda, Trump’s base embraced the heroic imagery.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s team has leaned into pop culture—recall his *Top Gun: Maverick*-style video last year—but the Superman analogy has proven especially polarizing.
As the online war rages on, one thing’s clear: the White House’s meme game is anything but subtle. Whether it’s genius trolling or tone-deaf grandstanding depends entirely on who you ask.
