Donald Trump appears in AI‑generated alien photo and SNL Epstein parody

On May 17, 2026 the season‑51 finale of Saturday Night Live aired a cold‑open where Will Ferrell played the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein. In the sketch the spectral Epstein awakens a Trump look‑alike in the Oval Office and shows him imagined future scenes, including former officials selling vacuums and drinking from a beer bong.

The following day, May 18, 2026, former President Donald Trump posted an AI‑generated image on Truth Social that shows him walking beside a handcuffed gray alien in front of a military‑type site. The image sparked online speculation about a possible UFO disclosure, while Trump also shared additional AI‑generated visuals of himself in a Space Force‑themed command center. No explanatory caption accompanied the posts.
