President Donald Trump went on the attack Saturday morning with eyes on a fresh target: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who he labeled a “Dumocrat” and a “lying sleazebag,” but was soon hit back with a scathing rebuke from the California Democrat.
Posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump’s attack on Khanna included an image that appeared to have been created with generative artificial intelligence that depicts the California Democrat with vampire-like fangs, wearing horns and a sheep skin, while also clutching dollar bills.
The image was condemned as “absolutely demented” by independent journalist Aaron Rupar and as “offensive” by left-wing activist and media personality Cenk Uygur. Khanna, however, took a different approach in his response, and used the attack as an opportunity to take a jab at what he characterized as Trump’s misplaced priorities.
“Congratulations on your wedding Donald Trump Jr.,” Khanna wrote in a social media post on X, referencing Trump Jr.’s Saturday wedding in the Bahamas – which Trump decided to skip due to his “love for the United States of America.” “Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.”
Khanna wasn’t the only one to make the observation that Trump skipped his own son’s wedding due to time constraints, but still found the time to make a flurry of social media posts Saturday morning.
“He skipped his son’s wedding so he could post deranged AI slop like this,” wrote podcaster and television personality Hemant Mehta in a social media post on X.
