The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope \u2013 and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay?<\/p>\n
You hear such a lot from Maga Republicans about how liberals think Trump voters are stupid. But not nearly enough about the far more salient point: that Donald Trump thinks Trump voters are stupid. Naturally, nobody deplores his own people as passionately as a populist, but even by those exacting historical standards Trump really does regard his supporters as a honking great throng of halfwits. How else to explain his seemingly retrofitted claim yesterday that the AI picture<\/a> he posted of himself as Jesus was \u201cme as a doctor\u201d. Er, no. After it incensed leading figures in the Christian right, which makes up a large part of his voter base, the US president later deleted it<\/a>, lamenting of these idiots that he \u201cdidn\u2019t want anybody to be confused. People were confused.\u201d Yeah, people are stoopid.<\/p>\n Alas, as you\u2019ve no doubt seen, controversy still attends this image Trump shared on his Truth Social\/True Sociopath platform. It depicts Trump in Jesus robes and holding a glowing orb of something \u2013 presumably heavenly light or radioactive material he omitted to tell Congress about \u2013 which he is transmitting restoratively into the forehead of some midwestern Lazarus. I\u2019m sure we\u2019d all love to know how the AI prompt for it could be \u201cshow me Donald Trump as a doctor\u201d, or indeed how the LLM of choice would react when called out on its subsequent error. \u201cYou\u2019re right \u2013 I overstated that. I shouldn\u2019t have implied the US president is a benign deity who can raise the dead. To clarify \u2013 he\u2019s a malignant narcissist and a tumour on the world. Thanks for catching that.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope \u2013 and he posts himself as Potus Almighty.
