The US President has shared a bizarre AI-generated image of a gold Trump tower on the moon. Donald Trump's social media post appears to be an effort to distract from the disastrous Iran war which is on the verge of reigniting.

The computer rendering was shared without comment but is likely to have been inspired by the successful Artemis II mission around the moon. The crew landed safety back on Earth over the weekend after venturing deeper into space than anyone before them.

Trump shared it on his Truth Social platform but added no explanation as to why he was posting it. It came after he shared a meme of himself as Jesus Christ, hours after attacking the Pope.

Trump previously shared bizarre AI-generated video on his plan to turn Gaza into a luxury resort at the height of Israel's war on Palestine. The footage cast the MAGA man as a God-like figure and saw him drinking cocktails alongside Benjamin Netanyahu.

The strange clip posted to the US Presidents Truth Social account started with the text: Gaza 2025 whats next? over images of the war-torn region. The video then depicts Gaza as a beautiful holiday-destination before cutting to an AI-Elon Musk tucking into some food.

Elsewhere there's a massive golden statue of Trump made to look like some sort of deity before children are seen on a beach while dollars rain down on them. Underneath the imagery, an AI-generated piece of music provides the soundtrack with an autotuned vocal singing: Donalds coming to set you free, bringing delight for all to see. No more troubles, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here.

Then the music hits a chorus of: Trump Gaza shining bright, a golden future, a brand new life. Feast and dance the deed is done, Trump Gaza number one.

The clip was posted by an X account with the caption: Complete bats*** lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Is this real life?? WHAT IS HAPPENING? read one of the comments.

Other notable moments from the eyebrow-raising 34-second video include Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu enjoying a cocktail while shirtless on a beach, and bikini-clad bearded dancers performing erotically. Trump himself is seen charming a model wearing a see-through skirt at one point.
