The White House’s X account uploaded a new photo of President Donald Trump that features the president brandishing a red lightsaber to protest “Radical Left Lunatics” seeking to return gang members “back into our Galaxy.”
The photo was uploaded on May 4, a day widely recognized as Star Wars Day, and features a buff Trump holding a lightsaber while being flanked by a pair of eagles. The White House’s post also included a dig at Democratic lawmakers advocating against the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal immigrants, joking that these lawmakers want “Sith Lords” to return to the country.
“Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to [sic] bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy,” the White House’s post said. “You’re not the Rebellion — you’re the Empire. May the 4th be with you.”

Several users have pointed out how the photo displays Trump wielding a red lightsaber, a weapon commonly used by Star Wars antagonists. Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted on BlueSky that the photo proves “this guy is full of SITH.”
Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Uh, doesn’t the red lightsaber imply he’s a Sith? https://t.co/MoxNTqz46i

Earlier this week, the White House posted a photo that Trump uploaded on his Truth Social account, which portrays the president as the new pope. It comes after Trump joked that he would like to be the next pope following the late Pope Francis’s death last month.
