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.

      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.

        I’ve thought he is stupid several times but I think he is just nefarious. He could be both, but you should never underestimate your enemy.

          100%, he is actively working with BRICS countries to destabilize our economy and kill us all. Part of that is working with Tulsi, Israel, and India/Modi to exterminate Muslims. The cult Tulsi is in is for just that, and her testimony at her confirmation hearing also explicitly referenced Muslims as her #1 issue. My assumption is that Iran and Saudi Arabia are going to use the turmoil to gain power over Islamic nations and eliminate their competition.

      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…

      It’s very close to what I imagined when he first started talking about the Riviera of the middle east - but I have to admit, I didn’t have the statue and I had more golf. I obviously didn’t have the bearded belly dancers either - I guess I expected them to review it before release.

    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

            For those who don’t…

            I mean if we have to do advertisement-supported journalism, whichever advertisement revenues are generated should go to the creators, not to the thieves. It doesn’t cost you anything to link to the real McCoy rather than the copy, and if someone finds your post from outside Lemmy and clicks on your link without an ad blocker, it will send a tenth of a penny to the creator.

            And yes, plenty of people browse without an ad blocker. How do I know? Because the advertisement industry is still alive and well, sadly.

              Fediverse is said to be too confusing to use from redditors when reasons are given for why that haven’t joined, so this demographic of users likely skews much higher towards ad blocking with how niche the user base is.

                By the same token, one can argue that expert Fediversers shouldn’t have any trouble retracing the true origin of whatever story they want to post and linking to that instead, to give credit where credit is due.

                Because really, it doesn’t cost anything and it helps deprive the leeching aggregators of a few clicks.

                  That’s a different matter though when it comes to ad block usage here, which you had presented as though this place has the same mainstream access of non ad block users as other platforms.

                  I’m just talking about ad block usage of fediverse compared to other sites.

      Revelation 13:1-9 ESV [1] And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. [2] And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. [3] One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. [4] And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” [5] And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. [6] It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. [7] Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, [8] and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. [9] If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

        Trump’s “assassination” attempt.

        And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

        Fuck man, I left religion a long time ago but that is like literally how long his Presidential term is. I need some of that revelation peyote to figure out what I should do.

        Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.

        Now I can’t tell if the antichrist would be Trump or Netanyahu. 7 heads leads me to believe 7 people.

        1. Putin
        2. Trump
        3. Netanyahu
        4. Musk …

          Don’t read too much into it, since it’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy and Christian fundamentalists are promoting these guys and the bad stuff towards this end to justify their beliefs. (Plus, it’s easy to fit a kind of vague narrative, similar to how horoscopes work).

          None the less, Christians are a rather hypocritical bunch.

              I guess mines more a general statement, anyway. Plus we all know true believers are probably on something although it might just be psychosis.

          Yeah, I guess not quite 4 years. I don’t really believe in the Bible, or at least not in a literal sense. Not saying people tripping on hallucinogens can’t prophesize though.

            I mean I don’t too, but it would be an interesting coincidence. There are a lot of chances that his term will end prematurely, and it’s interesting to bet it occurs somewhen around this margin.

      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.

          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.
