In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

Apparently in Trump Gaza, there's trans belly dancers

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 4 points 45 minutes ago

You can't convince me that isn't Trump Jr.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

What? HE posted that? I thought it was a parody and he was angry about it? Are we SURE he posted it? I mean... it shows him fat and ugly. WTF?

I just love that theres multiple shots of Elon stuffing his face for some reason

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

he is quite obsessed with transpeople.

But "genocide Joe", tho, amirite protest / non-voters???

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Genocide joe, genocide Trump. Enjoying the company you keep blue conservative?

Why is it that you relish in the fact that other Americans are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Do you hate democracy?

There is a better way. One in which people are free to vote for who best represents them. Are you working to give these people the freedom to vote for who they want? Or are you waiting to scream at people to vote for your preference.

Here are some helpful videos to show you that the democrats don't have to be the only opposition to the republican party. I would say the democrats have more then lost their privilege to go it alone at the republicans.

Videos on Electoral Reform

First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)

Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.

STAR voting

Alternative vote

Ranked Choice voting

Range Voting

Single Transferable Vote

Mixed Member Proportional representation

A two party system is only one away from a one party state.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

Cool, hit me up when you can get state legislatures to agree to that shit.

In the meantime I'll be voting for the Dem party precisely because of the reason(s) your linked videos on voting systems say it's dumb to not vote for one of the two parties in a first past the post system.

Evil has many faces, sometimes funding a genocide, other times advocating ethnic cleansing.

Spare me. Dems are as evil as Republicans.

I could vent for an hour about everything that's wrong with this, at least an hour.

Dancing dudes with beards and round tits on the beach?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago (8 children)

Guess a bunch of losers shouldn't have stayed home or protest voted.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

I guess the democratic party should have passed electoral reform and invited 3rd parties to compete on who could beat the republicans best. But the DNC wants safe states, easy debates, easy elections, and a voting public who is held hostage.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

Perhaps, but asking people to vote for the least bad option, when there is nobody they actually support, is an uphill battle.

What AI video technology was used to create this video? It's further along than I thought AI was at at this point. Are we sure this was entirely AI?

[–] 10001110101@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

OpenAI released much more impressive demo videos last year, and I think Sora is available to the public now. I don't think most proprietary models/systems allow you to use public figures though, so it's probably an open-source system.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This is what I remember of last year's Sora demo. Fun, but... not quite there yet.

[–] 10001110101@lemm.ee 1 points 47 minutes ago

Yeah, those were the problematic cases they highlighted. Image/video generation usually involves generating many permutations, perhaps adjusting prompts, and just keeping/editing the parts they want. The Trump video is likely made up of many edited clips from many different prompts, after discarding many more, not just one prompt. The song may be one prompt; haven't played around with music generation myself.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Well some people agree Netanyahu & Trump are secret lovers.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 87 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

Here's a direct link, as I didn't believe it was real:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338

Can you imagine the outrage if Biden, Obama, or Bush had this posted on an even semi-official account? Or even Trump in his first term?

Now it's just... another Wednesday?

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I think everyone has accepted at this point that Trump is extremely stupid and might be borderline mentally challenged. I mean even in the 80s people knew he was dumb, Biff Tannen in back to the future was reportedly based on Trump.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

basically every movie that had a 'bad guy' in the 80s and 90s was essentially a trump parody

All the resources of the United States and he posts a badly done AI video with a shitty jingle. And it looks more like an ad for a Trump branded resort than a peace deal...

No way this is going to blow up in anyone's face, no way at all...

This is literally insane. Like "need urgently to go to book a visit with a specialist" insane.

Could you believe it if you saw it just 4 months ago, with everyone screaming "Genocide Joe"

He actually posted it on "truth" https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338

I am really curious to see what the followers replied to that, but i don't have an account

[–] JayJay@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (3 children)

These were the top few replies on trending. To be clear I made the account specifically to see what fiasco trump "truths" next.

[–] Bonifratz@lemm.ee 11 points 8 hours ago

"you dancing with someone other than your wife"

They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story...

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 16 points 11 hours ago

Thanks for screen grabbing these so I didn’t have to go there

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 12 hours ago

I don't know why but the "There is no God in this" got me full on belly laughing

[–] JayJay@lemmy.world 55 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (13 children)

It seems to range from mild disapproval to saying it's a sign of the antichrist but they still support him. Absolutely wild that people could watch this from trump and still support him. Some people replied thinking it was a joke. This is crazy the mental back flips some of the replies have.

Honestly, sharing an insane AI video to social media is such peak boomer. Perfectly on brand for him and his audience.

I bet it's him intentionally shitposting after that fake AI video of him licking Muskrat's feet was displayed

this way he's flooding the web with his content, not others' criticising them

Just two guys having a good time (and genocide).

[–] grainOfSalt@lemm.ee 8 points 12 hours ago

When I saw the balloon of his stupid face in the video, I immediately wondered how many it would take to just carry him away. Is he still insisting he weights 215 lbs? I would guess more like 280, so that'd be 296 jumbo balloons according to https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/helium-balloons.
