> [@Smapti](#): > > I think there’s a pretty good chance that whoever handles his tweets these days is just taking his senile ramblings and asking ChatGPT to “make this sound like a Donald Trump tweet from 2017”. To this point, although I hate LLMs, I decided to do a quick experiment and asked ChatGPT to replicate a Trump tweet complaining about the Kennedy Center, and got this; > [@](#): > > A Federal Judge appointed by Obama just ruled that I can’t rename the Kennedy Center after myself — can you believe it? Nobody has done more for Culture, Entertainment, the Arts, and bringing Attention to great American Institutions than me. NOBODY. Everybody knows it, the People know it, and frankly even many of my Critics know it. The Decision is a total Disgrace, and Patriots all over the Country are saying the same thing. They call me, they write me, they stop me on the Street — they say, “Sir, how can a Judge do this?” It’s a very good Question. We had a tremendous Idea, a beautiful Idea, and the Radical Establishment couldn’t stand it. > > This is exactly the kind of thing that’s wrong with our System — Unelected Judges making Political Decisions, blocking Common Sense, and standing in the way of Greatness. Very unfair! And people are starting to ask serious Questions about this Judge and this Ruling. Why would a Judge go so far out of the way to stop something so popular? Why? Many people are saying there is Corruption all over Washington, and when you look at Decisions like this, you have to wonder what’s going on behind the Scenes. I don’t know, but people are talking about it. A lot of people are talking about it. The whole thing smells very bad — very bad indeed. > > The Kennedy Center should be about Greatness, Success, Achievement, and American Pride — and nobody understands those things better than I do. We had a fantastic Plan, People loved it, Support was incredible, and then this Judge stepped in at the last minute and said no. Sad! It’s always the same Story — whenever something is good for the Country, the Bureaucrats and Political Actors try to stop it. The American People are tired of these Decisions, tired of these Games, and tired of seeing Activist Judges interfere with Progress. We will keep fighting for Fairness, we will keep fighting for Common Sense, and we will keep fighting for America. The Movement is stronger than ever, the Energy is incredible, and we are going to keep WINNING — because the People are on our side. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! It’s got the emdashes, but it also has too many of the other artifacts of AI-generated writing, like lists of three and the general LLM “tone of voice” that distinctly isn’t Trump’s. On the other hand, it _did_ give me a “sir” story and plenty of gratuitously capitalized Nouns as if this were the 18th Century and that was how Gentlemen still wrote the English Language. It’s also definitely more “2017 Trump” than it is “2026 Trump” in style, and it didn’t thank me for my attention to this matter. Maybe with enough tweaking the prompt, it could mimic Trump’s style well enough to not be noticeable. ---

It also broke the post into 3 sensible, organized paragraphs. To be more like trump 2026, it needs to be one big wall o’ text. That’s easy enough to fix though, and otherwise, yeah, it’s not too bad an imitation. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > And it’s _way_ too coherent to reflect the current state of mind of our Extremely Intelligent leader Yeah, on second read through it’s not only too coherent, but the griping is too mild and the general tone is not nearly unhinged enough. It’s more “conservative dad just got done watching a couple hours of Fox News” energy than it is “grandpa needs his meds doubled and be locked into a padded room for his own good”. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > …and that his cognitive exam scores remain perfect. And now he’s bragging about passing _ **4** _ cognitive tests. What an embarrassing self-own. I read a reprint of someone’s twitter post saying “if you’ve been given 4 cognitive tests in a span of 18 months, they’re no longer just testing to see if you have dementia, it’s been diagnosed, and now they’re tracking how bad the progression is”.
