In mid-July 2025, the claim that White House social media accounts posted a picture portraying U.S. President Donald Trump as Superman circulated widely on platforms like X and Facebook, coinciding with the U.S. release ( archived) of the new "Superman" film on July 11.

The image portrayed the president in the costume of the famous superhero, resembling the promotional material for the film set to be released today.

The White House social media team likes to take a lot of creative liberties with artistic depictions of President Donald Trump. But one recent photo has really earned them some heat for how "embarrassing" it looks.
