The White House appeared to reveal its true colors while marking “Star Wars” Day on social media on Sunday.

To celebrate May 4, the office’s official X account posted a photo of a buff President Donald Trump holding a red lightsaber in front of a pair of bald eagles and American flags.

The Republican White House went after its political opponents in the post, which read, “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion — you’re the Empire.”

“May the 4th be with you,” it ended.

Even the most casual “Star Wars” fans could instantly notice something peculiar about the AI-generated image.

In the galaxy far, far away, red lightsabers almost always belong to characters who embrace the dark side of the force ... that is, the bad guys.

“Uh, doesn’t the red lightsaber imply he’s a Sith?” asked Andrew Feinberg, The Independent’s White House correspondent, referring to the enemies of the heroic Jedi order.

More serious fans of the saga noted in reply how creator George Lucas has explicitly said he designed his villains in the image of a right-wing political movement.

Talking about the original trilogy in a 2005 interview with the Chicago Tribune, he said, “It was really about the Vietnam War, and that was the period where [President Richard] Nixon was trying to run for a [second] term, which got me to thinking historically about how do democracies get turned into dictatorships? Because the democracies aren’t overthrown; they’re given away.”

This was not Trump’s first social media debacle of the weekend. He also caused a ruckus late Friday when he posted a photo of himself as pope, prompting several prominent Catholics to speak out.

Whether the post was trolling, intentional or just a genuine AI-generated snafu, it got some major attention.
