Woke Drumpf advocating for 5G mind control to be built in the country where your children sleep?
What Donald Trump is advocating is a style of Twitter shit-bird social machine usage, where one-line short-think dominates the nation, as it has since Q4 2014 under Russian information warfare. Donald Trump advocates that the behavior of 4Chan, Lemmy, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, YouTube comments become enshrined in The Constitution of the Untied States of America. And, let's not forget the language of Fox News audiences. That all the short-length shitty messages become the standard of discourse forever and ever, given how popular they have become. Faster and faster end-user devices and more xAI integration / generative AI content.
I expect the USA made Trump iPhone edition ultra-Gold will have mandatory option to translate all content into single-screen meme format with Donald Trump's image of the day selection. An AI built-in to give "TLDR ELI4" meme image, no matter how complex the topic.
