Donald Trump is trying to brush off the fact that he shared A.I.-generated images of Taylor Swift endorsing his campaign to his Truth Social account earlier this week, now claiming that he doesn’t know “anything about them.”

    Fair enough, someone probably helped him. What I don’t believe is that he wasn’t involved at all and the pictures just landed in his lap.

      I can believe it, he “owns” a Social media site / safe space. People probably post that shit all the time there.

        But they were posted under HIS account with HIS name on it. Put this action together with all the unauthorized uses of copyrighted misic and you have a pattern. He might not be doing it himself but he’s not telling his staff to stop it.

          im not sayin it isnt his responsibility for distributing it. but i think its comical to think he came up with the idea, or even had a hand in the generation.

          one of his morons did it, brought it to him and he ran with it. hes surrounded by sycophants who come up with these ideas all day long like the gold sneakers and the freakin bibles.

        To each their own, but I think that’s giving him too much of a break. My saying “he generated it” was perhaps a poor choice of words so I’ll clarify; I think he 100% knew that this was a fake image, knows who generated it, and was complicit in spreading disinformation.

        What I don’t believe is that some random person he doesn’t know said “hey look at this”, and then he got excited and started sharing the image. He wrote something to the effect of “I accept!”, and as dumb as the man is, I believe that he knows damn well that endorsements don’t happen like that.
