Trump Claims to Have Made 'Hundreds of Billions' on Stocks in AI-Generated Social Media Posts
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a series of AI-generated images and unsubstantiated claims on Truth Social, including assertions that he has made hundreds of billions of dollars from stocks for the U.S., though no evidence was provided to support this claim. The posts depicted Trump in heroic roles such as defeating Iran or leading futuristic military operations. He also shared infographics about Iran's economy without verifiable sources and claimed its currency is 'destroyed.' These claims come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with no sign of a return to negotiations after more than six months of conflict. Trump has previously faced scrutiny for Truth API, a premium feature on his social media platform that offers early access to policy announcements potentially affecting financial markets. Lawmakers have called for an SEC investigation into whether this service violates securities laws.
