US President Donald Trump has drawn attention online after the White House shared an AI-generated video depicting him as the fictional superhero Green Lantern. The post came after Trump shared a zoomed-in image of the Moon on Truth Social, showing Earth in the background alongside an American flag, and claimed that the Moon was “ours.”
The White House video portrays Trump wearing a glowing green power ring and using its energy in scenes centred on immigration and American manufacturing. In one sequence, he appears on a rocky hill overlooking an industrial landscape labelled “American Manufacturing”, presenting a superhero-style image of political power and national strength.
The White House accompanied the post with the well-known Green Lantern oath, including the line warning those who “worship evil's might” to beware the superhero's power. Green Lantern is a fictional character from DC Comics, while the Green Lantern Corps is portrayed in the comic-book universe as an intergalactic organisation responsible for maintaining peace and order.

The video has received mixed reactions on social media, with users responding differently to the unusual portrayal. Some reactions were positive, including one user who described it as “cool”, while others questioned the imagery and its intended message. Another commenter referred to Trump's “imaginary power”, while a third suggested that the president understood the effect of the post.
