  "textContent": "President Trump capped off a long weekend of boomer-AI shitposting on Truth Social with a bizarre picture of him walking next to a handcuffed alien.\n\nThe Sunday afternoon post, made without comment, is perhaps his strangest since he posted himself as AI Jesus. And its timing makes no sense given the right-wing conspiracy theorist chatter that surrounded his recent promise to release the “UFO files.”\n\nOur president also posted AI images of him sitting menacingly in some kind of Star Trek spaceship pressing a giant red button while explosions surround him.\n\nIn addition to the science fiction, Trump posted some AI images attacking his political rivals. There’s House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a huge chain and throwing money around while superimposed over a war zone with the caption “Hakeem ‘low IQ’ Jeffries in his district.”\n\nRepresentative Nancy Pelosi and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden can be seen relaxing in sludge in the reflecting pool with the caption “Dumacrats love sewage.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor and future presidential candidate J.B. Pritzker are depicted as drooling, bumbling oafs with a “Dumb and Dumber: The Illinois Government” caption. And California Governor and likely 2028 candidate Gavin Newsom was made into a zombie on a California license plate.\n\nThe president is just as susceptible to AI as your average reel-scrolling American, and he’s using it to his heart’s content. One can only imagine the prompts entered and the conversations that go into the decision to post. It’s tacky, sad, and reeks of mental ineptitude. The Democratic attacks are par for the course, but who is the sci-fi for? Just wait until he finds out about AI food.",
