In his latest visual messages, Trump appears as an “Atlas” carrying the world on his shoulders

In a move that highlights his continued reliance on modern digital tools to pass his political messages, former US President Donald Trump posted a banner image generated with artificial intelligence technology through his official account on his social platform, “Truth Social,” in which he appears in an epic appearance, holding a huge globe.

The photo, which Trump posted of himself, shows him in an expressive pose inspired by Greek mythology, specifically the famous character Atlas, where he appears kneeling on one knee on a rugged rocky mountain peak as he ably lifts the world above his shoulders.

Despite the imaginative and dramatic character of the scene, in this digital painting, Trump maintained his famous classic appearance of a dark suit and red tie, while the American flag wrapped around his shoulder and hung in a cinematic style to cover part of his body and extend over the rocks below him, amid an atmosphere surrounded by misty mountain peaks and bright golden sun rays that penetrate the clouds to add an aura of strength and steadfastness to the general appearance of the image.

This publication is a clear attempt to send an intense and influential visual message to his electoral base, seeking to consolidate his mental image as an exceptional leader who bears the burdens of the American nation, and even the entire world, and to suggest his high ability to confront ongoing political and legal pressures on behalf of his supporters.

This step also highlights once again the growing use of generative artificial intelligence techniques as a media tool and an effective political weapon in the digital space, as politicians have come to rely on specially designed visual scenes to create narratives that go beyond reality, with the aim of stimulating interaction and controversy and enhancing public presence in political forums.
