White House Accidentally Labels Trump a Sith With AI Star Wars Day Tweet

BBG News

Indeed, it seems the White House has unintentionally labeled Donald Trump as a character from the “Star Wars” universe during their peculiar celebration of Star Wars Day. It’s worth noting that “Star Wars” has always held a political edge and this annual celebration is no exception. The phrase “‘May the Fourth be with you’” originated from British newspapers when Margaret Thatcher, the Conservative leader, won an election on this day in 1979.

The White House recently went a step further by posting a tweet on Star Wars Day, suggesting Donald Trump as a Jedi-like character. However, there’s an issue with the AI-created image accompanying the tweet – it shows a red lightsaber, which is typically associated with the Sith and dark Jedi. In essence, instead of portraying Trump as a Jedi, the White House has essentially depicted him as a Sith.

The AI-created picture displays a muscular, action-type figure of Donald Trump, surrounded by American flags and eagles. The underlying message seeks to depict “Radical Left Lunatics” as the actual world’s Empire. Unfortunately for the White House, the image’s impact is weakened due to the presence of a lightsaber, symbolizing a force perceived as rebellious or disruptive.

Donald Trump’s Star Wars Day Message Is A Strange One

As a devoted Star Wars fan, it feels somewhat unusual to link this iconic saga with American nationalism historically. George Lucas himself modeled Star Wars on the Vietnam War, which is why the rebellion represents a resilient, underdog resistance against an oppressive, technologically superior Empire. This backstory alone makes the recent White House pro-Trump image using Star Wars imagery feel a bit out of place.

In the context of Star Wars, the red lightsaber poses a significant issue in communication because it’s associated with the dark side. Unlike other lightsabers, a red one is created through a process called “bleeding,” where a dark sider channels intense emotions such as hatred, rage, and bitterness into a kyber crystal, aligning it to the dark side. These weapons are exclusively wielded by Sith and those who follow the dark path.

Was The White House’s Tweet Intentional?

Initially, it might seem like an accidental post. However, considering the White House’s recent penchant for sharing AI-generated images that spark debate online, it’s plausible that this was another tactic used to create a stir. The peculiar “Star Wars Day” message could very well be another instance of this strategy.
