Misnamed

Everybody knows that the current president of the USA got some people to create his own social media channel so that he could exert full control of the propaganda he spews out to the world. He called that channel "Truth Social" which seems a very inappropriate name when you consider the falsehoods and undiluted egotism that the channel pumps out like waste from a chicken farm.

Dozy Don is up most nights - well into the early hours - creating and sanctioning AI slop. Some nights he will publish fifty "truths" which would invariably be better named "untruths". No wonder he often seems half asleep in the daytime.

Is this the way that leaders in the western world should communicate with the public? In the past, there was suitable decorum and filtering as presidents employed official channels to make their pronouncements. But not Dozy Don - on no! He's simply pressing "publish" all the time and does not seem to give a damn about the hideousness of the content




He's like a teenage boy playing late night computer games and fantasising like hell. And of course there's never any apology about the unseemly tackiness of it all and the blatant manipulation of genuine truth. Last week my head shaking got even more shaky when I saw the AI image that he posted of himself with the late Dolly Parton as they strolled arm in arm along the colonnade at The White House. Dolly had died just two days before.

Dolly Parton was a kind woman, a good human being who knew the meaning of humility and generosity. She represented the true heart of America. Her fake companion in the image below would not have been good enough to clean her rest rooms at Dollywood let alone to stroll with her.
So often the raging narcissist has banged on about "fake news" and the "bad" reporters who produce that alleged fakery when ironically his misnamed social media channel seems to be entirely and obviously fake as all the attached images ably demonstrate.
A hideous idea

  1. "Unseemly tackiness" you got that right. I truly wish the "tacky" one had died instead of Dolly Parton. Ican hardly wait until it all falls apart upon his death and the "good" people start rebuilding the good America we once knew.

    1. They will have a lot of rebuilding to do.

  2. You have no idea how sick of Mad Donald many of us are! This country will not recover in my life time (I'm 80) or even longer. We will vote in the midterm and hope that we can get some checks and balances back.

    1. I have just returned from McDonalds with my granddaughter. So glad we didn't go to Mad Donalds.

  3. Dolly and Trump (I still chuckle about the notion that a “trump” is slang for “fart”) (maybe I will henceforth refer to him as The Old Fart) are on opposite poles in terms of humanity and integrity. Especially considering his misogynistic attitude towards women that picture is an insult to her.

    1. Dolly was careful not to share her political leanings but her philanthropic actions suggest that privately she must have been a Democrat voter.

  4. As I said on John’s blog, it really does beggars belief that people support this man. I read someone saying that Americans should count themselves lucky because they have a leader that cares for their country. Others have said he is the best president ever. Seriously?
    1. War with Iran - didn’t he say it was going to be brief?
    2. on again off again tariffs - and who pays the tariffs, the Americans do
    3. Withdrawing from the JCPOA
    4, The reflecting pool - don’t even get me started on that one
    5. Trying to overturn the election - which he lost
    6. Pardoning the people who stormed the capitol and attacked police officers
    7. Insider trading
    8. Charging $100,000 a month for early access to Truth Social………

    It goes on and on….and the argument you get back “You are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome” Not what I would call a successful rebuttal.

    1. The main disorder that Trump himself has is Trump Derangement Syndrome and the motley gang that surrounds him suffer from it too. Many MAGAts are now healing themselves of the disturbing effects of TDS.

  5. There are no depths to which he will not sink.

    1. Maybe so Janice but no doubt he will try to go lower.

  6. Besides the fact we are a laughingstock of the world, it's just insanity that this man, who is clearly unfit to lead, is actually the president. He's a grifter and always has been, and that honestly fuels, along w/his racism, everything he does.

    1. Don't forget his blatant misogyny Elle.

  7. "Unseemly tackiness" truly doesn't capture the depravity of this ghoul and his unhinged AI late-night posts. I can't believe he's been allowed to dominate our politics for the last decade.

    1. When the ghoul is gone, I worry about the divisions he has opened up in America. Can anybody heal the wounds? After all, there's no going back in time.

  8. Isn't it telling the when children do this same thing, creating pictures of themselves as superheroes and such, we think it's cute.
    But when an 80 rapist does it? Not so much.

    1. Does he think those unhinged images are funny? Why does he create or sanction them?

  9. He's an embarrassing man. Someone should take away his car keys and find him a nice, safe place to spend the rest of his days.

  10. I think he has someone doing these AI images for him. I can't imagine he is smart enough to do it himself. Worst president ever and can't wait until he and his whole crew is gone.

  11. I don't follow his own channel, or even any American news channels, so most of the images above are new to me (I think I've seen the "healing" one discussed in Swedish media too, though). Just now I kind of wonder what would happen if one asks AI to "reverse" the first image (i.e. to show the earth carrying the weight of the man rather than the other way round...) (I seem to vaguely recall having tried to put Mr T in an AI image before but that request got refused.)

  12. Trump steers people in the directions he wants when comes up with crazy stuff.

  13. He's a sicko. While Dolly wasn't political, she would have no time for the stinker.
