Leadership of Nations by using Cringe behaviors. Exploiting the minds of the audience, the citizens of nations, with cringe antics. Using cringe as a method of control and exploitation against a population.

USA will be on mobile networks that the rest of the world will not support, Apple iPhone and Apple iPad will not be anywhere near leading edge of technology - the rest of the world of total 8.0 billion people will dump the USA status symbol of Apple iPhone that every Hollywood star and politician holds... nation of 0.34 billion in own world where it thinks Apple iPhone is the best in the world.

And the USA made Apple iPhone will have Trump-approved content filter and undo ability of any journalists, press, citizen who does not comply with Donald Trump messaging values on social machines.

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.
