US President Donald Trump has faced criticism for sharing an AI-generated image on Truth Social that appeared to threaten 'RINOS', a term used by hardline conservatives to describe Republicans deemed too moderate.
The image showed Trump kneeling beside a rhinoceros while holding a shotgun, with the text 'NO RINOS! REPOST TO MAKE THE POINT CLEAR.'
Many online interpreted the post as a symbolic threat aimed at political opponents within the Republican Party, with critics accusing Trump of using violent political messaging.
Trump has repeatedly used the label 'RINO' against members of his own party, including Thomas Massie, Thom Tillis, and prosecutor David Pascoe.
The controversy adds to a growing list of AI-generated images Trump has recently shared online, sparking concerns about the use of AI in politics.
