The 80-year-old commander in chief spent more than 10 hours on Sunday posting dozens of apparently AI-generated images on his social media platform. The posts included a depiction of Iran’s defeat, Trump on horseback with George Washington, and an apparently AI-generated image of Robert De Niro holding a shirt that read, “Trump is my president.”
One AI image appears to show the president sitting in front of several monitors in the White House tracking the stock market with a caption that reads: “I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do!”

How the hell is that supposed to work? Like, is his financial success supposed to inspire us or fill us with national pride? What the hell do I care if he’s made hundreds of billions of dollars on his investments (assuming that’s even true)? Fuck his investments. Fuck him.
He’s probably talking about all the equity deals the US government is getting involved in

Remember when Republicans had a cow when part of the Obama administration’s bailout of GM involved the US government taking an equity stake in the company (which it has a plan to sell a few years later?) Well, now that Republicans are in charge, they’re doing the same thing, in overdrive.
According to that link, it’s only 27B total to far. But, of course Trump not only takes credit for it all, but overvalues it by at least 10x…
