It’s Might 4, the annual day to have a good time all issues Star Wars, and because the White Home loves posting fantasy Donald Trump content material, it didn’t miss this chance. Days after Trump shared an AI-generated picture of himself as pope, the White Home X account shared what is sort of actually an AI-generated picture of Trump as a MAGA Star Wars character, whereas additionally aping Trump’s custom of dragging his enemies on main holidays:
This submit was clearly only a pressured joke, however you don’t must be a Star Wars scholar to note they obtained a number of issues fallacious. Listed here are some questions following an admittedly too-close examination:
Historically within the Star Wars universe, the one characters who use crimson lightsabers as their major weapon are the unhealthy guys, the Sith. Although Jedi may use a crimson lightsaber out of necessity, they wouldn’t go together with one by default. So although the White Home tweet suggests “Radical Left Lunatics” are “combating so exhausting” to “convey Sith Lords … again into our Galaxy,” they’re mainly saying Trump is the Sith.
Is that this one crimson, too?

He’s wielding one lightsaber in his hand, and he’s obtained one other one hanging off his belt. What’s up with that? Whereas there are examples of Jedi (like Ashoka Tano) and Sith (like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Maul) carrying and wielding two lightsabers without delay, they use each lightsabers — they don’t simply carry one as a backup. Is Trump so unhealthy at utilizing his lightsaber that enemies preserve taking it away from him (and so unhealthy at utilizing the Pressure that he can’t Pressure-grab it again) and he wants a second one?
Or maybe, like J.J. Abrams, the White Home is simply attempting to present followers extra of what they need even when it doesn’t make any sense.
Being a Pressure person isn’t about bodily energy or about being an individual of imposing dimension. And it’s protected to presume that Jedi would by no means bulk up on the fitness center or poison their our bodies with performance-enhancing medication like steroids, since mindfulness, stability, and being one with the Pressure are the final word efficiency enhancers. Trump on this picture appears like a ’roided-out core-world failson who has no Pressure skills and is attempting to rip-off people into considering he’s stronger than he’s. Hulk Darth Trump may need to get his blood stress checked, too.
Trump’s physique isn’t simply weirdly muscle-bound and veiny; it’s additionally one way or the other too small for his head. Or is it that his head is simply too large? Or is his belt simply loopy excessive? Talking of which …
There’s needlessly two of all the pieces on this picture, and his bizarre belt isn’t any exception. There are two belt ideas, or perhaps it’s two belts:

How would a belt like that even work? Does he want a double belt due to his quick oversize physique? Can he not use a mix of a single belt and the Pressure to carry his battle gown collectively? Is that this all a part of some particular outfit Trump must combat MS-13? Is Darth Trump actually into leather-based?
Three American flags within the background a little bit a lot however not unheard-of in patriotic cosplay. Two man-size bald eagles, although? Is one the grasp and the opposite an apprentice? Or is it that within the MAGA Star Wars canon, the one approach to show most patriotism is with double the eagles?
Maybe their perches are simply hidden behind Darth Trump’s large physique, however the two bald eagles additionally appear to be perhaps they don’t have toes. It’s not clear why one is increased than the opposite, both. Maybe they’re Sith bald eagles who can hover within the air with out the necessity for his or her wings by utilizing the Pressure? Additionally, since there isn’t any crimson glow seen on the eagles, do they even exist in any respect? Are they some sort of Pressure imaginative and prescient providing recommendation on scavenging for fish? Is Hulk Darth Trump simply posing in entrance of a portray?
There’s a “to to” typo on this tweet. Is the AI that DOGE needs to exchange all authorities staff with that half-baked, or was this just a few overeager White Home staffer in a rush to rise up a Might 4 shitpost? Both means, the tweet seems to have been simply as poorly conceived and haphazardly executed as nearly all the pieces else the Trump administration tries to do.
This submit has been up to date.
