Donald Trump’s social media team has been playing around with AI again, this time posting an image of the president holding a lightsaber on the official White House X account to mark Star Wars Day (May the Fourth…) over the weekend.
As Jon Stewart points out in the Daily Show monologue above, though, there’s a fairly key detail they overlooked.
“I know I’m not meant to get distracted, but he’s not a fucking Jedi in that picture!” yells Stewart. “Do you understand? Trump is presenting himself as a Jedi, but his lightsaber is red. The only way you can have a red lightsaber is by infusing its kyber crystal with the power of your rage and hate, thereby corrupting it into a vessel for the Dark Side.
“Therefore, every one of those photos that Trump is putting out there, he’s admitting he’s not a Jedi but in fact a Sith Lord!”
