President Donald Trump flooded Truth Social with AI-generated images and sweeping, unverified assertions, including a claim that he has delivered “hundreds of billions of dollars” in stock gains for the United States. The barrage came as the White House stayed silent and as questions mounted over market-moving communications tied to Truth Social’s paid “Truth API,” which has already drawn scrutiny from U.S. senators urging an SEC review. Trump also amplified AI depictions of U.S. dominance and Iran’s collapse amid ongoing hostilities, even as economists caution against assuming Tehran’s imminent economic failure. One verifiable data point: a 10% U.S. government stake in Intel acquired in 2025 is now valued at more than $50 billion, far short of the president’s broader claims.
