President Donald Trump has once again made headlines, but this time it’s for his bizarre and unhinged posting spree on social media. On Wednesday, the former president took to his new platform, Truth Social, to attack his foes with a series of AI-generated images. However, one of his targets, California Governor Gavin Newsom, didn’t let him have the last laugh.
Trump’s posting rampage began with a distorted photo of his longtime rival Rosie O’Donnell, accompanied by a statement that his administration is considering revoking her US citizenship. This is not the first time Trump has entertained such a thought, but this time he took it to a whole new level by sharing it on his official platform. He even went on to call O’Donnell “incapable” of being a “Great American.”
But Trump’s posts didn’t stop there. In fact, they got more bizarre and outlandish as he went on to share AI-generated videos and images of other political figures. These included a video of Democratic Senator Adam Schiff with an elongated neck, a clip of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie sumo wrestling with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, and even a photo of Newsom wearing a Trump 2028 hat.
One of the most ridiculous posts featured Trump dancing to the Village People’s “YMCA” with the man on the Cracker Barrel logo, and another showed him looking proud as the four presidents’ faces on Mount Rushmore flashed smiles. It’s clear that Trump was trying to distract from other important issues by resorting to these ridiculous and offensive posts.
It’s worth noting that some of these posts were not even created by Trump himself. They were the work of a meme-making team founded by pro-Trump podcaster Brenden Dilley, known for pushing misinformation and making racist, antisemitic, and homophobic comments. This raises concerns about the authenticity and credibility of the content being shared by the former president on his own platform.
However, instead of getting offended or angry, Governor Newsom and his team decided to respond in a clever and humorous way. They used AI-generated images to troll Trump back, with one featuring a distorted photo of his face. This not only showed their quick wit and sense of humor but also highlighted the absurdity of Trump’s posts.
The governor’s team also shared a series of photos and videos, including one of Newsom holding a glass of wine and cheering with the caption “CHEERS! PATRIOTS!!!” This was a clear dig at Trump, who has been known to abstain from alcohol. They also shared a photo of Newsom holding a “Make America California Again” hat, further poking fun at Trump’s obsession with running for office again in 2024.
In the midst of all this chaos, it’s important to remember that these posts are coming from the former president of the United States. It’s a sad and alarming reminder of the state of our political climate and the lack of dignity and respect in our leaders. While Trump may think he’s being clever and funny, his actions only serve to diminish the seriousness and importance of the office he once held.
In conclusion, Trump’s posting spree may have caused a stir on social media, but it’s important to not give in to his attempts at distraction and division. Instead, let’s focus on the real issues at hand and continue to hold our leaders accountable for their actions. And as for Governor Newsom, kudos to him and his team for handling the situation with grace, wit, and class. Let’s continue to rise above the noise and work towards a better and more united future.
