The picture caption read: ‘The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American way.’
More than 20,000 X users were quick to flood the comments section with their reactions.

‘Amazing. A new age of heroes is among us all,’ another person joked.

A third added, ‘I can’t believe this is real’, while a fourth asked ‘are the people who run this account 4 years old?’
Dean Cain, who played Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, reacted to the post with laughing emojis.
This is not the first time Trump’s team have sparked a huge internet reaction by superimposing his face onto iconic figures.
In May, the US President posted an AI picture of himself as the Pope only a week after the funeral of Pope Francis.
The Republican, who is not Catholic, leader took to Truth Social to post the image, which shows him wearing a white papal hat, also referred to as a miter, while a large crucifix dangles from his neck.
Trump had previously joked with reporters how he wouldn’t be against succeeding the late Catholic leader, adding: ‘I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice.’
While chatting on the White House lawn, he revealed he did not have a preference on the next Pope, but quipped there was a ‘very good’ cardinal in New York.
It came only one week after Pope Francis’ funeral at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City as the conclave now gather to elect a new leader for the Catholic Church.

The 88-year-old passed away on Easter Monday after dedicating his ‘entire life’ to serving God and The Church. He spent his final hours with the devoted, emerging to bless thousands of people in St Peter’s Square.
Trump’s post was met with outrage online with many branding the move as ‘a great disrespect’, urging the US President to remove the post immediately.
‘Trump is literally mocking the Christian world with this image he shared,’ one said: ‘And on a day when Catholics are mourning the death of their spiritual leader, Pope Francis.’
‘Is anyone else surprised that Trump would be so brazenly sacrilegious? Me either. Classless,’ a second said.
‘Trump, as someone outside the U.S., I find your post utterly disrespectful to the Catholic community worldwide,’ a third added.
‘The papacy is a sacred institution for millions, and this mockery is an affront to their beliefs.’
‘Please take this down,’ one follower pleaded: ‘May Catholics myself included, find this a great disrespect to the past and future leader of our church.’
‘Completely disrespectful. The Catholic community is mourning and you post this?’
