President Donald Trump shared what appeared to be an AI-generated image Monday night of a golden eagle statue affixed to the White House facade, and while the post was ridiculed by critics<\/u>, one former GOP staffer flagged what they believed was a hidden message.<\/p>\n

The image in question shows a golden eagle statue attached to the front facade of the White House holding a red, white and gold shield surrounded by 11 stars. Trump described it as a \u201cgolden gift to the White House for its 250th birthday year,\u201d suggesting there may be plans to bring the image to life.<\/p>\n

However, Steve Schmidt, the former GOP strategist and co-founder of the conservative anti-Trump organization the Lincoln Project, zeroed in on the number of stars featured on the statue, which differed from the typical 13 to represent the original 13 colonies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is grotesque and un-American,\u201d Schmidt wrote Tuesday in a social media post<\/u> on X to his more than 1.4 million followers. \u201c11 stars represent the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schmidt was making reference to the 11 states that seceded from the United States between 1861 and 1865 to form the Confederate States of America, largely out of a desire<\/u> to preserve their right to enslave African Americans.<\/p>\n

Trump has sparked controversy throughout his two terms regarding the Confederacy. In 2020, Trump ruled out<\/u> renaming U.S. military bases named after Confederate officers, going as far as to restore the name<\/u> of a base that was stripped of its reference to a Confederate officer during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Trump also attacked<\/u> NASCAR over its Confederate flag ban and has called<\/u> Confederate monuments “beautiful” and criticized efforts to see them removed.<\/p>\n
