President Donald Trump was crucified on social media after posting an apparent AI-generated image of a golden eagle attached to the Truman Balcony.

“A Golden Gift to the White House for its 250th Birthday Year!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday, along with a picture of a golden eagle on the South Portico of the White House overlooking the South Lawn.

Trump’s obsession with gold is well documented, but the president has seemingly taken it to the extreme during his second term, most notably in the Oval Office. New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan detailed this obsession in their recent book, “Regime Change,” recounting a story of White House press secretary Karoline Levitt walking in on Trump super-gluing golden embellishments to the Oval Office fireplace mantle.

CNN reported that the eagle image’s metadata indicated it had been created with Google AI, but HuffPost could not independently confirm this. Another indication that the photo was AI-generated: the eagle appeared to only have 11 stars, two short of the traditional 13 used to represent the original 13 colonies.

No other photos of the eagle affixed to the Truman Balcony have surfaced from credible sources since Trump made the post on Monday afternoon. Freelance photographer Andrew Leyden published photos to X after Trump’s post showing the Truman Balcony with no eagle affixed to it.

Critics slammed Trump not only for the tackiness of the supposed decoration but also for the fact that Trump’s post said it was the White House’s “250th Birthday Year.” While it may be the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, construction of the White House was not completed until 1800:
