This Sunday, May 4, 2025, Star Wars fans around the world celebrated May The 4th Be With You, in other words Star Wars Day. To capitalize on current events and pop culture, Donald Trump also wanted to participate in this day, except that the American president made a fool of himself.
All fans celebrate Star Wars, even Donald Trump
It's a tradition: every year on May 4, Star Wars fans celebrate the saga imagined by George Lucas. On this Sunday, May 4, 2025, a rather surprising fan took to social media to participate in this celebration. Indeed, the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, decided to wish all fans of the intergalactic universe a happy May 4th. The purpose of the operation was also a publicity stunt to attack the opposing camp, namely the Democrats. Thus, Internet users were able to discover on the official White House account, its tenant posing in an image generated by artificial intelligence, representing him as a Jedi with an imposing musculature, lightsaber in hand, with two American flags and two bald eagles, the emblem of the United States, in the background. The visual is accompanied by a caption that reads:
Happy May 4th to everyone, including the left-wing extremists who are fighting hard to bring Sith Lords, murderers, drug dealers, dangerous prisoners, and well-known members of the MS-13 gang back to our galaxy. You are not the Rebellion, you are the Empire. May the 4th be with you.
Donald Trump, the Jedi with the red lightsaber
Except... there's a problem between the choice of words and the image. Indeed, if in the legend the one who occupies the Oval Office poses as a patriotic Jedi ready to attack the Democrats whom he judges responsible for all the ills of American society, he holds in his hands a red lightsaber. A color, which as all Star Wars fans know, is that of the sabers of the Sith Lords, the opponents of the Jedi who threaten the Galactic Republic. A detail that did not escape Internet users and who did not fail to point it out in the comments of the publication.
It seems that Donald Trump loves artificial intelligence because before having himself represented as a Jedi with a red lightsaber, the American president had posted on his account on the social network Truth Social, a photo showing him dressed in the Pope's habit sitting in an armchair with a solemn air. The photo was also shared by the White House's X account.
And if you haven't seen it yet, we invite you to watch this very moving video for May The 4th shared by Lucasfilm.
