I have to admit, those are really well done. Very slick. ---

LOSER hits the nail on the head. Iran is definitely winning the trolling game. The White House media team thinks they are so cool with their AI slop but they are as pathetic and cringe as rest of the admin. Which is, of course, totally expected from LOSERS. ---

I’m going to post this here because it’s clearly AI propaganda, though not (so far as I know) out of Iran. It’s a two-minute imagining of what Donald’s _Trump Presidential Library_ (or whatever it will be called) will be like in a few years. Someone did a great job of cataloging all the horrible things that MAGA people love about Donald: > **[George Conway on Instagram: "This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico"](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWuINFnFWDr/)** > > 1,388 likes, 64 comments - gtconway3 on April 4, 2026: "This is absolutely fantastic. > > ht: @maddenifico".

I thought the Iranian team had a high budget. That may be the case. But not necessarily. I’m seeing a number of agit-prop AI shorts made quickly and, poking around the internet, very cheaply. ---
