President Donald Trump shared a bizarre AI-generated image of himself and Dolly Parton linking arms at the White House.
On August 27, President Donald Trump, 80, took to his Truth Social platform to share the AI image of the late country music icon. In the imagery, Parton, 80, had her arm around his as she flashed a smile at him. The duo appeared to be in the middle of a relaxing stroll outside of the White House.
Trump appeared to be wearing a long black trench coat, while Parton donned a pink jacket with white fur on the sleeves. It comes as Dolly Parton's heartbreaking last ten-word statement before her death has been revealed.

Trump seemed to be much taller than the late singer.
Although Parton was petite and often joked about her small stature at 5 feet tall, she often wore high heels to appear loftier.
Upset social media users turned against the president and slammed his captionless post.
One person said, "What a global laughingstock you are. You and Dolly Parton were polar opposites. She was woke and she a humanitarian, while you are a lowlife, bottom feeding, piece of s--t."
Another person added, "So pitiful and embarrassing for America. We are privy to the twisted mind of a malignant narcissist, pictures and all!"
A third wrote, "A pathetic attempt to steal her humanity and generosity."
Despite the criticism, Trump still had a supporter who shared, "If this is them in the afterlife, I’ll take it."
In his Truth Social post, Trump wrote, "Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away.

"This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will," the president added.
"In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one-week period beginning tonight at 6:00 PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly!" he finished.
Parton's nephew Bryan Seaver shared the heartbreaking news in an Instagram video.
In the short video, he looked directly at the camera. He said, "My name is Bryan Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I'm representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis, Aunt Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next.
"This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven't truly felt it until now," he added.
"It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens," Seaver closed.
