Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, recently shared a photo on his new social media platform, Truth Social. The photo, which was poorly edited, featured Trump and five of his political allies as DC Comics superheroes. It was posted late on Thursday night without a caption.
In the image, Trump is depicted as Superman with the words "TRUMP 2024" emblazoned on his chest. Behind him are his allies, whose faces have been photoshopped onto the bodies of Justice League members. On the top left is Elon Musk, the owner of X, who recently hosted a friendly live interview with Trump. He is shown as Cyborg. On the top right is Robert F Kennedy Jr, who suspended his independent bid for president and endorsed Trump, portrayed as Aquaman. In between them is Trump's vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, as Batman. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat who recently endorsed Trump, is shown as Superwoman. And next to her is Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican candidate who has also publicly supported Trump, portrayed as The Flash.
The editing of the photo was of low quality, with black gaps visible between Trump's head and the Superman suit, as well as between Vance's head and the Batman outfit. There were also gaps between the heads of Musk and Kennedy, and their respective superhero suits. Despite the poor editing job, the image gained attention on social media.
This is not the first time Trump has portrayed himself as a superhero. Just two days prior, he announced his fourth collection of NFT trading cards featuring himself, many of which also depicted him as a hero. One card, titled "SuperTrump," showed him wearing an Iron Man-style suit. Another showed him holding the seal of the president with a dramatic background and the title "Greatest of all time."
Trump has long positioned himself as a hero to his supporters, often sharing doctored images of himself that portray him in a positive light. As Vice President Kamala Harris gains popularity and President Joe Biden's re-election bid comes to an end, Trump is seeking support from influential figures and even some former Democratic Party members, such as Musk, in an attempt to win over voters.
