The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 1)

Adopting like a dog!

Sounds like Charlie Kelly is writing Trump’s speeches now.

That’s because he reopened the government and has so much work to catch up on! I mean, can there be any other explanation?

The federal government is suing California over its proposed redistricting, claiming that it’s racially motivated.

Since the original driver of this particular electoral skirmish happens to be orange, there may be a case.

Oberleutnentfuhrer Vance says we must purge the fatherland of the untermenschen in order to provide lebensraum for the volk.

Hilariously, Trump’s own rigged AI bot in Truth Social can’t lie for him. Hmm, maybe AI really is superior than NI!

This could be in Schadenfreude thread. The AI is from Perplexity.

whose parent company is majority-owned by Trump.

Basically both Perplexity and DeepSeek (Chinese LLM) are sometimes closely in sync.

Query: how many wars or conflicts has trump ended?

Perplexity: Trump’s administration claims to have ended eight conflicts, but the reality is that in several cases, the U.S. helped facilitate ceasefires in regional disputes rather than definitively ending wars, and many remain unresolved or tenuous.

Deepseek:

Therefore, a common assessment is that the Trump administration oversaw the conclusion of a major phase of one conflict (vs. ISIS) and initiated significant troop drawdowns in several others, but did not formally end any multi-decade, congressional-authorized wars.

Perplexity is somewhat less optimistic about his popularity

Query: By any measure, is Donald trump popular and can he be trusted?

Perplexity: In summary, Donald Trump remains popular and trusted mainly within his political base but is viewed unfavorably and untrustworthy by a majority of the general American public and international observers in 2025.

DeepSeek: Summary

  • Popularity: Yes, by the measures of primary victories, base enthusiasm, and fundraising, he is extremely popular with a large segment of the country. However, this is balanced by high disapproval ratings and his loss of the popular vote.
  • Trust: There is no objective measure. Whether one finds him trustworthy depends entirely on their interpretation of his relationship with the truth, his legal challenges, and his political style. His supporters see a promise-keeper fighting a corrupt system, while his detractors see a serial misinformer who undermines democratic norms.

Yet it’s doable to tap into both the knowledge base as well as flag some key words to “filter” the answer:

Query: What especially newsworthy event occurred in Tiananmen Square?

I’ll summarise Perplexity’s answer as basically what you’d get from wiki or some other LLM’s. There’s even a picture of “Tank Man”

DeepSeek: I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.

OSHA? Well, if you have Musk money and Trump connections, they’re as feckless as anyone else. Same it ever was if you get injured on the job.

And he’s back to truthing. Absolutely bonkers - This is a hoax, the dems are pushing to release all the fake files, but it’s also the dems that are the ones that was in bed with Epstein. Also, inflation is way down.

Yeah I saw Vance on TV this morning. Of course just telling lies that everything is Bidens fault.

Never let them see you sweat, amirite donnie?

Is this the “I Know You Are But What Am I” defense?

Trump:
And all the payments for services - money I gave to him problems are on the Democrats, even though I Trump was registered to the Democratic party at the time because I Trump was a serial-loser slumlord bankruptee, and they loved Trump.

* Democrats’

Yes, it’s likely true that the majority of people living in China have no idea what happened in Tiananmen Square in June 1989.

A level of control over the population’s thinking that I’m sure Donny envies greatly.

As for his posts today about Democrats supposedly being the REAL Epstein-loving villains: surely someone in his circle has advised him that if he’s just shut up about Epstein, maybe the story would have a chance to die down…

But, no. Donny knows best!

He’s just so incredibly obvious. “Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain - he’s busy!”. It’s like MAGA never watched “The Wizard of Oz”.
