Summary

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image on his Truth Social account that depicted him and New York Governor Kathy Hochul in a stylised basketball-themed rivalry. The image placed the two political figures in a sports “face-off” scenario rather than documenting a real event.

The post spread across social media and drew immediate online criticism and mockery. The article notes the image is one of several AI-generated visuals Trump had shared recently, and reports public backlash but does not provide a specific date for the post.
