Donald Trump has once again shared an image seemingly generated by artificial intelligence on his Truth Social account, this time of himself riding a lion with the caption: “There is only one president who can make America great again.”
The bizarre post comes as a new YouGov poll sees Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, outperforming the former president in a series of apolitical contexts.
For instance, more Americans believe Harris would win a cooking competition as well as a dance-off. The VP is also considered to be better at handling spicy food and to be the better dresser.
She’s also “more likely to remember birthdays, keep a secret, and give better relationship advice,” according to YouGov.
This comes after Trump took the stage at an event in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday, where he was joined by Robert F Kennedy Jr.
The independent candidate suspended his presidential campaign earlier that same day and announced his support for Trump, slamming Democrats and baselessly claiming a vast media conspiracy to elect Harris.

The US rock band said they were not asked for permission over the song’s use and “would not have granted it” if they had.
Kennedy, who suspended his campaign as an independent presidential candidate on Friday, joined Trump onstage in Arizona, as pyrotechnics blasted and the Foos song played.

Kennedy says he disagrees with Trump on a range of issues even after endorsing him
In a campaign email, Robert F Kennedy Jr said he suspended his campaign “with a sense of victory” because his campaign elevated “key issues,” such as “corruption,” children’s health, “ending the war machine,” and ending “government censorship, surveillance, and information control.”
Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump on Friday, saying in his campaign email that while Trump talks about these issues, he also disagrees with the former president on a range of subjects.
“I believe I can best serve these goals as part of a unity cabinet inside the Trump administration,” Kennedy said.
But he added that “I am not naive. I know there is no guarantee that fine sentiments will translate into meaningful action. I have come to this decision through many days of meditation and prayer, during which I have cycled through all of the emotions and arguments that my supporters have expressed to me, from every direction.”

RFK mentions Biden 11 times after praising RNC for not focusing on president
Robert F Kennedy Jr mentioned Joe Biden’s name eleven times in a speech moments after praising the RNC for not focusing on the US president.
The independent candidate abandoned his own presidential campaign on Friday 23 August and endorsed Republican Donald Trump, ending a bid he began as a Democrat trading on one of the most famous names in American politics.
During a press conference, he railed against chronic disease, “corruption” in health agencies, and the Democratic Party – focusing part of his attack on Mr Biden.
“In Chicago, Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first day, who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?” he asked.
“In contrast, at the RNC, President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.”

The Democrats have a superpower when it comes to defeating Trump
It was a French, navy-blue, chic-but-sombre trousersuit and blouse for Kamala Harris’s nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Rumours had abounded that she would carry on the mantle of Hillary Clinton by wearing “suffragette white” to signal the historic nature of her candidacy. But, as an aide replied tautly when I asked if we could expect her to talk about the prospect of being the first female president: “Kamala doesn’t need to prove her credentials.”
So the message in Chicago has differed from the failed Clinton campaign of 2016 and Hillary’s persistent citing of her encounters with the “glass ceiling”. Harris plays down this side of her beliefs – or perhaps calculates that, beyond sympathetic voters, Americans do not always warm to women talking about their struggles.
An economical, well-crafted speech was pitched to move Harris from the niche of feminist, liberal Californian, which is being moulded by the Trump-Vance camp into a caricature of ultra-leftish, busybody activism, to an all-American everywoman: a commonsensical, straight-talking, safe pair of hands on America and the West’s security.

Poll sees Harris beating Trump in apolitical contexts
A new YouGov poll sees Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, outperforming the former president in a series of apolitical contexts.
For instance, more Americans believe Harris would win a cooking competition as well as a dance-off. The VP is also considered to be better at handling spicy food and as the better dresser.
She’s also “more likely to remember birthdays, keep a secret, and give better relationship advice,” according to YouGov.
The pollster also found that Harris is believed to be more likely to return a lost wallet or help a stranger.
But Trump bests Harris by a margin of 29 points on the question of who would win at arm-wrestling.
“More also think Trump would beat Harris in a poker game, and that he would give better financial advice,” the pollster stated.
