It looks like Donald Trump has beaten John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) to become Earth's new Green Lantern. The official White House social media account has posted a new AI video of the US President wielding a power ring. The ring emits a green light that deploys an energy barrier over a desert landscape. The White House's X account also shared the video alongside the Green Lantern oath, suggesting Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) has found his new successor.This is not the first time that the White House has used pop culture imagery for its political messaging. With the ongoing run of DC's Lanterns on HBO, Trump's social media team is determined to use the show's success for his political campaign and the latest video is proof. Naturally, the AI video went viral on social media and drew immediate reaction from people. One user wrote:"I hope DC sues."More on this in our story.Donald Trump becomes the new Green LanternWhite House's latest AI video transformed Trump into a Green Lantern wielding the power ring. The footage included imagery of an American Manufacturing sign, military power and border security. On X, the AI video is accompanied by the official Green Lantern oath:"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"The Green Lantern video is making waves on social media. People are calling out the White House for using pop culture for their political campaign. An X user commented this under the official video:"This is pure AI slopaganda. Zero self-awareness. Someone please take the phone away from grandpa. This is a national embarrassment."Another X user took a dig at the video:"Trump’s way too skinny in that video. He’d be more like a fat slimy monster green lantern fought in the first comic.""Well that’s one way to get me to cancel my HBO subscription." wrote anotherFor the uninitiated, Green Lanterns are a group of superheroes who serve as an intergalactic space police force in DC Comics. The Lanterns wear a cosmic ring (as boasted by Trump in the AI video) that lets them fly, survive in space and manifest any object they can imagine.It's quite interesting that the White House released the Green Lantern video when Hal Jordan is looking for his replacement in the HBO series. John is being trained to replace Hal, but as of Episode 4, he has not officially become a Lantern. It looks like Hal need not look further, as Trump has risen to fill his shoes. The video uses the Green Lantern oath to frame the President as the country's protector and ties him to domestic manufacturing and national defense.The video takes inspiration from Green Lanterns' role in the DCU, who protect the universe from cosmic threats and maintain law and order across different space sectors.DC's Lanterns premiered on HBO on August 16. The show releases weekly episodes on the platform every Sunday. The final episode is scheduled to be released on October 4. In addition to Chandler and Pierre, the show stars Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Nathan Fillion, Poorna Jagannathan and Ulrich Thomsen.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
