The White House has shared a doctored image of Donald Trump as Superman, just days after MAGA critics slammed the new superhero cinema reboot as \u201cwoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

The surreal post<\/a> on the White House\u2019s official X account with a caption borrowing from Superman\u2019s most famous catchphrase: \u201cTHE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post instantly attracted comments including \u201cAnd the Epstein files<\/a> are his Kryptonite,\u201d and \u201cI never thought I\u2019d see the day when the White House is just a joke.<\/a> This is so embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Dean Cain, who played Superman in the TV show Lois & Clark, approved of the re-imagination, replying with the crying laughter emoji<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cain, a Trump supporter, told TMZ this week<\/a>, \u201cHow woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters (to) exist for the times?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"PresidentPresident Trump previously faced criticism for posting a picture on Truth Social depicting himself as the pope in May as Catholics mourned the death of Pope Francis. Trump Truth Social <\/p>\n

The film\u2019s director, James Gunn, who helmed the franchise powerhouse Guardians of the Galaxy, pushed MAGA buttons<\/a> this week when he said, \u201cSuperman is the story of America. An immigrant who came from other places and populated the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MAGA mouthpieces couldn\u2019t deal with the character of Superman, who was born on planet Krypton before moving to America, being labelled an \u201cimmigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox News show The Five slammed<\/a> the new Superman as \u201cwoke\u201d on Monday, with Kellyanne Conway noting, \u201cWe don\u2019t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us. I wonder if it will be successful?\u201d<\/p>\n

The film opens this weekend after heavy promotion\u2014and Trump\u2019s post may help to reach potential conservative cinemagoers. Industry bible<\/a> Deadline quoted movie studio sources predicting Superman will make at least $200 million globally in its first week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Trump has form for digitally inserting himself into pop culture and society.<\/p>\n

In May, the White House posted an AI image<\/a> of Trump as the pope, ahead of the conclave to select a new pontiff, despite the president not being a Catholic.<\/p>\n

That led to one Catholic conservative postin<\/a>g on X, \u201cThis is worse than trolling. You\u2019re going to lose a lot of Catholic support over stunts like this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White House has shared a doctored image of Donald Trump as Superman, just days after MAGA critics…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[1072,88,206,209],"class_list":["post-1849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-donald-j-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-superman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
