FranceDonald Trump posted an AI-generated image of a golden eagle on the White House's Truman Balcony ahead of America's 250th anniversary, which was later shared by official White House accounts. The image, identified as synthetic by Google's SynthID watermark, appeared to show a large golden eagle with a Stars and Stripes shield, accompanied by a patriotic caption. However, subsequent photographs of the balcony showed no such eagle present, raising questions about its authenticity. Critics called the image 'tacky' and 'cheap,' noting historical inaccuracies like the incorrect number of stars on the shield and the fact that the White House itself is not 250 years old. Some compared the eagle to Nazi-era symbols, though others defended its use as a traditional U.S. emblem. Supporters praised the image as a patriotic gesture.
