Trump Engages in a Frenzied AI-Powered Social Media Posting Rampage, Prompting Gavin Newsom's Retaliatory Responses
In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump launched an unconventional posting spree on Wednesday, targeting his political foes with a series of provocative clips and images on his Truth Social platform.
At the heart of the storm is a feud with comedian Rosie O'Donnell, who was the subject of a distorted photo shared by Trump. Another clip showed Senator Adam Schiff with an elongated neck, a depiction that has since sparked controversy.
Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom and his team have hit back with a series of AI-generated counterattacks. One clip showed Newsom wearing a "Trump 2028" hat, while another depicted former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie engaging in a sumo wrestling match with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
The Governor Newsom Press Office has also taken to Twitter, posting a picture with no text and encouraging the public to join and support their newsroom. Their mission is to provide unflinching, fact-based journalism. In a separate tweet, Newsom asked for public support, but his message included an advertisement with the text "CHEERS! PATRIOTS!!"
It appears that two separate, edited clips stem from a meme-making team founded by pro-Trump podcaster Brenden Dilley. Trump proceeded to share more outlandish clips on his platform, including one showing him dancing to the Village People's "YMCA" alongside the man from the Cracker Barrel logo.
Interestingly, there is no available information about Brenden Dilley or the meme-maker group behind the AI-generated posts of President Trump in the provided search results.
In response to Trump's attacks, the Governor Newsom Press Office has also posted a tweet with a picture, seeking public support to fund journalism. The public is encouraged to join and support the newsroom in their mission to deliver fact-based journalism.
As the social media battle between Trump and Newsom continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this unusual war of memes and clips will shape the political landscape in the coming days.
