In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

This is literally insane. Like "need urgently to go to book a visit with a specialist" insane.

Could you believe it if you saw it just 4 months ago, with everyone screaming "Genocide Joe"

He actually posted it on "truth" https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338

I am really curious to see what the followers replied to that, but i don't have an account

It seems to range from mild disapproval to saying it's a sign of the antichrist but they still support him. Absolutely wild that people could watch this from trump and still support him. Some people replied thinking it was a joke. This is crazy the mental back flips some of the replies have.

Yeah, you can tell the Democratic party is a far superior organization if only because they have a few people in it who were willing to call out Biden and Harris's support for genocide, where meanwhile the whole Republican party will support Trump no matter what he says or does

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the issue is those voices get mocked & suppressed by the establishment Democrats in the major public positions of the Democratic Party that are beholden to their donors. I personally would love to see a new party emerge after all this that has a more progressive public agenda.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Best bet is probably progressives just taking over Dems the same way MAGA has it's roots in the Tea Party shit decades ago. Otherwise it's simply not possible without pretty substantial election reform, something neither party has interest in.

These were the top few replies on trending. To be clear I made the account specifically to see what fiasco trump "truths" next.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 22 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for screen grabbing these so I didn’t have to go there

I don't know why but the "There is no God in this" got me full on belly laughing

[–] Bonifratz@lemm.ee 19 points 2 weeks ago

"you dancing with someone other than your wife"

They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story...

This is literally a thing I have been saying would happen for over a year. This is darkly hilarious.

Here's a direct link, as I didn't believe it was real:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338

Can you imagine the outrage if Biden, Obama, or Bush had this posted on an even semi-official account? Or even Trump in his first term?

Now it's just... another Wednesday?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All the resources of the United States and he posts a badly done AI video with a shitty jingle. And it looks more like an ad for a Trump branded resort than a peace deal...

No way this is going to blow up in anyone's face, no way at all...

I think everyone has accepted at this point that Trump is extremely stupid and might be borderline mentally challenged. I mean even in the 80s people knew he was dumb, Biff Tannen in back to the future was reportedly based on Trump.

It's very close to what I imagined when he first started talking about the Riviera of the middle east - but I have to admit, I didn't have the statue and I had more golf. I obviously didn't have the bearded belly dancers either - I guess I expected them to review it before release.

The link I provided included the video inline, but I don't see it with the link you provided. I tried finding a better source that included the video with it, but they were all right-leaning news organizations.

Doesn't for me, maybe the mobile version is different.

What are the issues with aggregators?

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

They steal advertisement revenues from the sources that created the content they serve.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

LOL. We all use adblockers around here.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

For those who don't...

I mean if we have to do advertisement-supported journalism, whichever advertisement revenues are generated should go to the creators, not to the thieves. It doesn't cost you anything to link to the real McCoy rather than the copy, and if someone finds your post from outside Lemmy and clicks on your link without an ad blocker, it will send a tenth of a penny to the creator.

And yes, plenty of people browse without an ad blocker. How do I know? Because the advertisement industry is still alive and well, sadly.

Apparently in Trump Gaza, there's trans belly dancers

You can't convince me that isn't Trump Jr.

Bearded belly dancers...

The Trump regieme officially endorses Palestinian transwomen, as long as they have abundant facial hair.

Honestly, sharing an insane AI video to social media is such peak boomer. Perfectly on brand for him and his audience.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, its like your uncle that just discovered ChatGPT. I guess all this is probably Grok?

The antichrist is supposed to be loved by most. Trump doesn't make that cut. He's just a shitty wanna be Nazi

Revelation 13:1-9 ESV [1] And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. [2] And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. [3] One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. [4] And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” [5] And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. [6] It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. [7] Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, [8] and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. [9] If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

I bet it's him intentionally shitposting after that fake AI video of him licking Muskrat's feet was displayed

this way he's flooding the web with his content, not others' criticising them

Dear God. If you're going to bother using AI to put your fantasies out there, at least take the time to give yourself some abs, not whatever (gags) that is.

When I saw the balloon of his stupid face in the video, I immediately wondered how many it would take to just carry him away. Is he still insisting he weights 215 lbs? I would guess more like 280, so that'd be 296 jumbo balloons according to https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/helium-balloons.
