Donald Trump posted to Truth Social an apparently AI-generated image of his reception for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Unlike event footage, it shows neither Melania Trump nor Xi’s wife, Peng Liyuan, while another woman remains visible.
Footage shows Melania and Peng beside the two leaders and Trump wincing as a B-1 bomber flies overhead; the posted image instead depicts him stone-faced. At the reception, Trump wore a winter coat and black gloves on both hands, while the image shows only one glove. A woman in the frame is identified as U.S. chief of protocol Monica Crowley; online speculation instead named Trump aide Natalie Harp, though it is unclear whether Harp attended.
Trump has not commented on the discrepancies or explained why the first ladies were absent. The post is described as the latest in a series of AI-generated or digitally altered images involving Trump and Xi.
