Does a real screenshot show a White House X post with "Nintendo Lives Matter" and images of what appear to be George Floyd and former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that the image ever appeared on the White House's X account. An AI detection tool found a SynthID watermark, indicating the image was generated using OpenAI tools, while another concluded that it was extremely likely to be AI-generated, assigning it a 99.8% confidence score.
The claim appeared in a post and image (archived here) by the @AryanBundles account on X on Aug. 11, 2026. It read:
The White House intern has gone rogue 😭😭
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Lead Stories searched the White House X account for a post with the words "Nintendo lives matter," as the fake screenshot shows. There were "no results" (archived here).
News searches
Lead Stories searched Google News (archived here) and Yahoo News (archived here) and did not find any matching reports for the terms "White House," "X post," "Nintendo Lives Matter," "George Floyd" and "Derek Chauvin." Given the inflammatory nature of such a post, it would almost certainly have generated significant news coverage had the White House account actually published it.
Image analysis
Lead Stories ran the image through OpenAI's tool to verify whether it was OpenAI-generated (archived here). The tool reached this conclusion:
