No stopping him.
America fucked around.
Now it gets to find out.
blah blah blah fuck this dipshit, i'm wasting less of my time of this fuckwad this time around, but still fuck this fucking bag of shit.
Yeah we know. You’re quite good at it.
Man he is going to fucking lose it during the SotU isn't he?
He always proves he is more stupid than you thought possible. It is like his special power.
So his argument is basically "I can bomb a county but I can't extort a country for protection money". Amazing.
My dude, to use something as a threat, it needs to be something that you're not already doing.
FFS, the orange shitstain is currently destroying the USA.
A wise man once said, "No one man should have all that power.."
That is literally his plan. He said it out loud, again?! What will it take for you imbeciles to stop him!! Do you like America? Because you are going to be the pariah of the world and the next Russia if you don't do something about it. Get used to it or get up.
I'm just happy that I'm young enough that no matter what I'll get to see that shit stain die.
Maybe. Even assuming you live to a ripe old age, Trump only has to keep going a couple more years until AI is going to be indistinguishable from actual footage. Keep Trump holed up in Mar-a-Lago for "security reasons" and he never needs to die. He can remain president-for-life.

Eh. We've had the capacity to fake footage for a long, long time. Con-artists were faking UFO sightings in the 50s and fooling people. Skeptics were questioning holocaust photos and 9/11 footage a generation ago and straight up denying dashcam footage of police brutality straight into the modern moment.
AI can fake a particular moment and whip people up, but it can't stand any serious interrogation or follow-up. It is only good at showing people what they were already primed to believe.

Oh sure. I'm not saying it would need to stand up to any scrutiny. But the truth is getting less and less relevant.
And honestly, if an eternal AI Trump managed to deliver on the economy, and not deport too many white immigrants, it would probably be a shoe-in for decades to come, regardless of how implausible it was.
