Trump deletes post depicting him as Jesus-like figure after backlash
bbc.comI love the Voltron silhouette in the background holding hands with GI Joe
You know this idiot is playing with ChatGPT all day in between tweets
TRUMP: "I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one."
Translation: I don't think I'm Jesus, I'm just too stupid to know the difference between Jesus Healing People and the Red Cross medics healing People
or
Translation: I am a megalomaniac but MAGA is too stupid that they'll believe anything.
There is an easy way to find out if he’s lying. That image probably was generated on a government-issued device, which means it should be easy to produce recorded proof of the prompt used for this image, that prompt has to be archived.
It should include stuff like Red Cross worker and doctor in there instead of religious terms. I am surprised the press has not yet requested any of those prompts used to generate a lot of the imagery the administration is showing off on official government accounts.
But on the other hand journalism in the US is really horrible in terms of the tradecraft itself right now.
Either way, Trump is the modern-day Icarus. He flew too close to the sun, got a bright orange tan, and is now sundowning into the Strait of Hormuz at the speed of light.
Imagine you’re in your fourties now, the people who are going to take care of you after your kids put you in a retirement home have not even been born yet.
Nobody is going to believe all this in like 30 years. They will all think we are the insane ones telling the story about the president of the United States of America being a nutjob and like 76.9 million people voted him into office.
That’s like the full population of Germany voting for a guy who puts crayons up his nose and giving him access to nuclear weapons. What could possibly go wrong?
Even if one wanted, doubt you could get access to what the President types into his phone through a FOIA.
I think the big difference between 30 years ago and 30 years from now, is that in 30 years, almost every single public thing ever done by the President will be on video.
I got what my local mayor typed into his ChatGPT sessions via FOIA. He didn’t believe I could legally do that, a judge told him differently. Got like 52 pages of Chatlogs and had tremendous fun going through them.
But you’re probably right, what the president types is probably declared a national security issue or only available to be viewed by members of congress or senate. Still it has to be recorded and put into archive, so maybe we get a better view into what the people in charge of the country thought at this time in 30 or so years when it’s declassified.
If there is enough pressure by the American public to release that data earlier, there is a good chance it could happen tho. Think about the Epstein files.
I don't think Trump makes the thing. It's some guy and he reposts them.

Didn’t know that. Thank you for the additional information. Very much appreciated.
I also think that is no "demon" in the picture, it’s probably an AI scuffed Statue of Liberty.
Scientists will have to study the exact nature of this specific backlash and identify why it caused a different reaction in Trump than others, e.g. when he attacked the Pope...
The majority of US Christians don't care about the Pope. And Trump-supporting Catholics have a tenuous relationship with the Vatican and Pope already (for instance, many in that camp also want to roll back Vatican II and other "modern" trends).
> many in that camp also want to roll back Vatican II
My lack of knowledge shines through: I didn't know they made a sequel...
/S
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vatican_Council - Commonly referred to as Vatican II.
Unusually for a sequel, much more popular than the first one.
I'm still waiting for Vatican III: The Return of Jesus.
