US Health Secretary called out over 'bizarre' Thanksgiving post
Some citizens think whoever is running the social media accounts of the current administration should have their phones taken off them, and in a year of truly baffling posts, it's not hard to see why.
Giving some serious 'boomer' energy, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services has been called out for a bizarre Thanksgiving post that features him and President Donald Trump.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is no stranger to controversy, and if grabbing headlines for his advice on measles, telling people to just ignore his advice, and swimming in a creek of 'fecal matter' weren't enough, he's now being mocked as his official X account posted a seemingly wholesome Thanksgiving gathering that's anything but that when you start looking a little closer.
The White House has been embracing artificial intelligence in a big way, but not just because President Donald Trump is making 500-billion-dollar deals.

We've already seen the White House called out for embarrassing images that appeared to turn Trump into a villainous Sith from Star Wars, while the man himself has come under fire for mocking House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries with an AI video, as well as posting another of him dumping poop on protestors while wearing a crown.
AI Thanksgiving posts were the main course of the American people, with RFK Jr. sharing a shot of a dystopian Thanksgiving dinner aboard Air Force One.
Replicating the infamous 'McDonald's meal' from last year, the image features Kennedy, the POTUS, Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
That went viral for its own reason, as claims quickly circulated that a 1721 picture called "Deitz Nuützen" predicted Trump's win. In fact, Deitz Nuützen is a play on 'Deez Nuts', with AI creating a Renaissance version of the McDonald's spread.
Shortly after RFK Jr.'s official X account shared the updated Thanksgiving supper, it was quickly torn apart by people mocking it and questioning whether this was supposed to be a serious social media platform.
One disgruntled onlooker said: "Now the government is posting weird AI-generated photos. Seems like a very bad idea."
Another chuckled: "Trump drinking nacho cheese sauce, eating an entire pie, and has a plate of purple d*cks to eat. Amazing...."
When Grok put in a highlight of the day's news, a third irate person concluded: "@grok Why is this AI slop being reported on X as today’s top news? Are you incapable of determining what’s legitimate or just putting forth no effort?"
According to Business Insider, it wasn't just Kennedy turning to AI to celebrate the holiday season, as the outlet showed off an equally baffling picture from Futurum CEO Daniel Newman. The snapshot depicted Newman alongside Mark Zuckerberg, Musk, Satya Nadella, Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang (appearing twice).
Elsewhere, one parody account appeared to show Sydney Sweeney demolishing a turkey feast with Musk at the X headquarters, and Topaz Labs impressively restored footage from 1940's Macy's Day Parade.
With RFF Jr.'s image being easily called out as AI, we'd suggest he might want to upgrade his software or use a different one if he plans on trying to fool us into thinking the Trump Force One bros were really tucking into turkey at 30,000 feet.
