As a matter of interest, do we know where the AI generated stuff that Trump posts originates? I doubt that he has the skill and patience to craft and adjust prompts to generate what he wants.
Is there a rota of aides who generate stuff for him, or is it MAGA fanfiction from outside that he redistributes?
When confronted with Trump insulting the Pope and portraying himself as Jesus, he falls back on:
Oh Trump was just joking. (ie he’s a bully making excuses when caught)
Trump likes to mix it up. (ie he’s an asshole)
Trump is unfiltered (ie Trump is in final stages of dementia)
And finally:
It’s a good thing to have disagreements with the Pope. He actually said this. As a Catholic. Maybe excommunicate him.
From what I’ve read, this particular Trump-as-Jesus one originated with Nick Adams (Alpha Male), an Aussie magainfluencer of the “liking women is gay” variety.
That couldn’t be our Trumpie, though – the hands are a normal size.
Jimmy Kimmel is having a ball with all the great material that Trump is providing him. Kimmel shares with all thinking people a deep loathing of Trump, but it’s also personal because the Orange Peril actively and directly tried to destroy Kimmel’s career. If you haven’t seen the Kimmel monologues I highly recommend them – they’re on YouTube.
I take a certain amount of joy in imagining that the Orange One can’t help but watch some of them, because they’re about him. And I also imagine that he watches with a sort of slack-jawed confusion – Kimmel’s sharp wit surely cannot penetrate Trump’s natural stupidity exacerbated by dementia – so all he sees is Kimmel saying things about him that he doesn’t understand, and the audience roaring with laughter. Must be frustrating! Maybe he gets some of his lickspittle lackeys to explain the jokes to him later.
There’s something going around the intertoobs saying that Trump was told to say that the image had been doctored, and he heard it as “say is was supposed to be a doctor”. I tend to credit this as truth, as he’s just that big a moron.
Oh, and I see he’s lashing out at Italy now along with the Pope.
I saw a new parody of the Jesus meme, with Dr McCoy-as-trump/Jesus and the TOS cast surrounding him (and the Enterprise flying in the sky) and the caption is, “Dammit, Jim! I’m a doctor, not a messiah!”
