President Donald Trump promoted himself to a decorated military general in his latest use of AI through Truth Social.

While making various posts about the military on Tuesday, Trump dropped an AI-generated image showing him in a military uniform and sporting various medals. Standing next to him were Gens. George S. Patton and Douglas MacArthur. Patton was a general known for his service leading forces in World War II, while MacArthur also commanded forces in World War II and the Korean War.

The difference between those two men and the president is that the president has never served in the military.

Trump has regularly used his Truth Social platform to post various AI images, either showing flattering images of himself or taking aim at his political enemies, like former President Barack Obama.

Trump posted more about the military on Tuesday, wishing the Coast Guard a happy birthday.

He wrote:

Under my Administration and, with the tremendous leadership of Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, we are rebuilding the Coast Guard like never before. The FIRST of 11 new Arctic Security Cutters that I ordered will be delivered in 2028, ensuring American Strength, Sovereignty, and Security in the Arctic for generations to come.

Congress must FULLY SUPPORT and FULLY FUND the United States Coast Guard so they can continue carrying out this vital Mission. Thank you to Senators Dan Sullivan, Rick Scott, Katie Britt, and Tommy Tuberville for your outstanding leadership and your unwavering support of America’s Coast Guard.

He also posted an image of a structure being built at the East Wing of the White House for the military in a post about his controversial “ballroom.”

“The Project is on cost, and substantially ahead of schedule. We are working very closely with the United States Secret Service, and Military, and this Military Complex is the best of the best!” he wrote. “It will provide the highest level of Defense, Offense, and Safety for the people of Washington, D.C., and for, importantly, future Presidents. Also rising is the desperately needed Ballroom, something which former Presidents have wanted for 150 years, which sits directly under the elevated DronePort, and is paid for by Great American Patriots — No Taxpayer Money!”
