Trump Tennis Video With Serena Williams: Real or AI-Generated?
Last week, while tracking down that viral photo of Trump standing directly in front of the NCAA women’s tennis champions, I fell down a rabbit hole of “Trump tennis” archives on Getty Images. I was just looking for a relevant photo to accompany a post.

To my genuine surprise (and slight horror), this picture of Donald Trump playing tennis actually exists. “How niche,” I thought to myself, fully assuming I’d never need to see such an image again.

Well, I was wrong! Trump just did another very weird, tennis-adjacent thing, and suddenly these wretched photos of him playing tennis feel relevant again!

With zero context, Trump just posted a nearly two-minute-long video on Truth Social of himself volleying with Serena Williams while wearing a full suit.

Here’s the full clip, which someone recently reposted from Truth Social to X (formerly Twitter).

An announcer can be heard in the background of the video, saying, “Trump volleys with Serena Williams, shoes off, coat on.”

@realDonaldTrump / Via truthsocial.com
Yup, right before starting the match, he appears to take off his shoes and leave them on the side of the court. Makes sense for a high-stakes volley!

On first glance, many social media users assumed this was AI-generated content.

We all know the former president loves some good ‘ole AI-generated imagery and deepfake content!

However, my research has confirmed that it’s actually a real video from April 2015, when Trump and Williams played a promotional match to mark the opening of a tennis facility at the Trump National Golf Club.

Okay, so the video is real, and MAGA supporters are eating it up. According to one person, this decade-old footage of Trump playing tennis is something the mainstream media is trying to keep from you.
HOLY CRAP Trump just posted this stunning video of him playing TENNIS with Serena Williams. WOW
Mainstream Media does NOT want you seeing this
EVERYBODY loves Trump ❤️ pic.twitter.com/U8OlFu50Ul

Who cares if Trump apparently fell asleep at an Oval Office meeting last week when he was hitting tennis balls just fine 11 years ago?

“While the media tries to paint a picture of division, moments like this show the truth about President Trump’s character,” another supporter wrote. Uh, is the truth about President Trump’s character in the room with us??

@DanielJ41413 / Via x.com
As you’d expect, there are plenty of others online who are telling it like it is—and not letting this pass as a reflection of Trump’s current stamina or health.

@topher2825 / Via x.com
“This 2015 clip is older than half of Trump’s indictments,” one user joked on social media.

@4Nation / Via x.com
“It happened 11 years ago…..68 is a lot different than nearly 80.”

@kentuckygrl / Via x.com
“What a fragile and egotistical idiot. An 11 year old clip,” another commenter added.

@RabbitohCards / Via x.com
Many also said that posting this feels especially out of touch right now, when there are much bigger, global political crises to handle. “Why doesn’t he post something that will lower grocery or gas prices?” someone wrote.

@NinersSF1 / Via x.com
In the years since that interaction on the tennis court, there’s been some speculation about the nature of the relationship between Donald Trump and Serena Williams.

Mike Coppola / FilmMagic
In May 2024, Williams’s name surfaced during proceedings in Trump’s hush money trial, when she was listed as a person Trump “frequently spoke to” at the time. But when asked about it during a podcast interview a month later, she seemed to brush it off, saying, “I talk to a lot of presidents…I spoke to Barack, I spoke to the Clintons. I spoke to every president since I’ve been alive, including Ronald Reagan, I’ll have you know.”
Well, what are your thoughts on all of this??? Any theories on why the heck Trump posted this throwback? Let us know in the comments.

Could You Beat Up Donald Trump? This Viral Poll Is Insane!
OK, this is it. They’ve finally done it: the wildest poll of all time!

Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images
YouGov recently asked Republicans and Democrats a very serious question: Could you physically beat up Donald Trump? They also asked them if they thought an 8-year-old boy could take him on.

Roberto Schmidt / Getty Images
For context, and for your consideration, Trump was just recently talking about his physical fitness.

Kent Nishimura / Getty Images
During a recent event, he talked about his rigorous 1-minute daily workout routine, “I work out so much. Like, about one minute a day, max. If I’m lucky.”

Jim Watson / Getty Images
In the past, he has also said, “I get exercise. I mean, I walk, I this, I that.”

Kent Nishimura / Getty Images
And, as we all know, he runs on a steady diet of Diet Coke and McDonald’s.

Robbie Jay Barratt – Ama / Getty Images
Sooo, with all of that in mind, the results to the “can you beat Trump in a fight” poll are somewhat surprising:

YouGov plc, May 5 – 6, 2026 © All rights reserved” / David H. Montgomery / Via yougov.com
The data speaks for itself, and it’s pretttty embarrassing. More Republicans say Trump could beat them in a fight, 39% to 33%, while Democrats are basically like no way, with 75% saying they’d win and just 5% giving Trump the victory.

Roberto Schmidt / Getty Images
In terms of the fight with an 8-year-old boy, 72% of Republicans said Donald Trump would win that one. On the other side, 54% of Democrats said the 8-year-old boy would win.

Jim Watson / Getty Images
It got even wilder when you broke it down by gender.

YouGov plc, May 5 – 6, 2026 © All rights reserved” / David H. Montgomery / Via yougov.com
According to the poll, Democratic women are over 20 points more likely to say they can beat Trump up compared to Republican men.

Roberto Schmidt / Getty Images
Needless to say, this poll has gone viral.

The responses are funny:
“He’s 79, can’t walk a straight line and falls asleep in meetings. Republicans still think he’d knuckle them into the dirt lmao.”

LTGetsPolitical/x.com
“There is a major crisis of lack of self-respect in the Republican party right now.”

CBoTheEggman/x.com
“You’d just have to stay out of his reach for the whole forty seconds that it’d take him to get exhausted and fall over.”

prem_thakker/x.com
“It’s a cult.

prem_thakker/x.com
“I think if this guy punched me his hands would fall off.”

And lastly, the most obvious comment of all: “Whoever came up with this survey question deserves a pulitzer.”

Eric Trump Faces Backlash Over Donald Trump Airport Branding
Eric Trump faced an immediate and fierce wave of online backlash this Tuesday after debuting the fresh branding for the newly christened Donald J. Trump International Airport located in Palm Beach, Florida.

Carmen Mandato / Getty Images
Posting via Elon Musk’s X platform, the second son of Donald Trump expressed that he felt “extremely proud” to reveal the official logo for the facility previously known as Palm Beach International Airport. The decision to rename the site has already ignited significant public debate, specifically due to its connection to a trademark agreement involving a Trump family business entity.

Sandi Smolker / Getty Images
“There is no person more deserving of this incredible honor than @realDonaldTrump! Congratulations Dad!” Eric Trump shared in his post. “Looking forward to seeing flights landing at ‘DJT’ very very soon!”

The communications department for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, wasted no time in responding to the social media update.

“Gas prices are up over 50% since your dad started a reckless war in Iran,” the governor’s team retorted. The office then added a sarcastic finishing blow: “But congrats on the airport logo. Huge accomplishment!”

Various other social media detractors joined the fray, mocking the airport’s updated visual identity by redesigning the logo to include references to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced figure who was once an associate of the former president.

Hey Eric, that gold logo is cute and all, but let’s be real — your dad just turned a public airport into his personal branding project so his family can profit off taxpayer money. How fucking pathetic is that?

CNN Fact Check Shows Trump Ballroom Less Popular Than Ghosts
It appears that Donald Trump is physically incapable of staying silent regarding his controversial ballroom.

Kent Nishimura / Getty Images
For those who haven’t been keeping up with the latest updates, the construction project has encountered several major obstacles. Currently, Republicans are requesting $1 billion in taxpayer funding to keep it afloat.

Bloomberg / Getty Images
Do you recall when he initially claimed it would cost a mere $200 million and be entirely self-funded? Yeah, it seems those promises are a distant memory now.

Aaron Schwartz / Getty Images
That hasn’t deterred Trump from pushing his persistent “WE NEED THE BALLROOM” talking point. This past Wednesday, he doubled down on the supposed popularity of the project: “It really has become very popular. When people see the design, they really like it. It’s been great, gotten some great reviews.”
Trump: “I’m good at ballrooms. This can repel a lot of different weapons. It really has become very popular.” pic.twitter.com/47RWaWTuFg

Well, CNN decided it was time to fact-check that “popularity,” and they demonstrated, in VERY clear visual terms, just how deeply disliked this project actually is:

CNN/factpostnews/x.com
So, it turns out that ghosts and telepathy are apparently more favored by the public than the damn ballroom!

CNN/factpostnews/x.com
That specific screenshot has (rightfully) gone viral across social media, and the reactions are truly something else. Here are the funniest responses:

CNN/CantEverDie/x.com
We have:
“i will always support ghosts over ballrooms.”

CNN/hithereimclay/x.com
“American support for GHOSTS is at an ALL-TIME HIGH!”

CNN/woman_mage/x.com
“it cannot be true that approximately 3/10 americans believe in telepathy. I don’t want to believe it.”

CNN/transitracer/x.com
“i like that this implies theres people out there who ‘support’ telepathy and ghosts but don’t believe in them.”

CNN/cafecubano_/x.com
And lastly, “hold up 39% of yall think ghosts are real?”
