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.
Apparently in Trump Gaza, there’s trans belly dancers
You can’t convince me that isn’t Trump Jr.
What? HE posted that? I thought it was a parody and he was angry about it? Are we SURE he posted it? I mean… it shows him fat and ugly. WTF?
But “genocide Joe”, tho, amirite protest / non-voters???

Sick meme bro, is it an NFT you bought with crypto while rolling to the gym in your SwastiTruck?
Genocide joe, genocide Trump. Enjoying the company you keep blue conservative?
Why is it that you relish in the fact that other Americans are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Do you hate democracy?
There is a better way. One in which people are free to vote for who best represents them. Are you working to give these people the freedom to vote for who they want? Or are you waiting to scream at people to vote for your preference.
Here are some helpful videos to show you that the democrats don’t have to be the only opposition to the republican party. I would say the democrats have more then lost their privilege to go it alone at the republicans.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
A two party system is only one away from a one party state.
I can’t grok much of what you’re saying, seems to be mostly in response to some strawman you’ve conjured, as most/all of it doesn’t make sense in response to what I said.
Cool, hit me up when you can get state legislatures to agree to that shit.
In the meantime I’ll be voting for the Dem party precisely because of the reason(s) your linked videos on voting systems say it’s dumb to not vote for one of the two parties in a first past the post system.
Evil has many faces, sometimes funding a genocide, other times advocating ethnic cleansing.
Spare me. Dems are as evil as Republicans.
Cool story, much edgy
LOL… seriously? He sponsored killing approx. 70k Palestinians and his admin continually vetoed UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire, yet you’re bitter at voters that didn’t want to vote for Kamala “couldn’t think of anything I’d do differently” Cheney. You lost the moral high ground my dude.
Hmm should I choose getting shot in the face or kicked in the balls?
Lol yeah, fucking seriously, you people are un-fucking-believable, have zero respect or patience with your shot, get fucked.
You helped Trump win.
K
What are your thoughts on harm reduction? Should we choose the thing that hurts more people or fewer people?
I just love that theres multiple shots of Elon stuffing his face for some reason
he is quite obsessed with transpeople.
Guess a bunch of losers shouldn’t have stayed home or protest voted.
Perhaps, but asking people to vote for the least bad option, when there is nobody they actually support, is an uphill battle.
I guess the democratic party should have passed electoral reform and invited 3rd parties to compete on who could beat the republicans best. But the DNC wants safe states, easy debates, easy elections, and a voting public who is held hostage.
Or maybe a bunch of Dems shouldn’t have been okay with the admin & future admin at the time funding genocide & vetoing resolutions to stop it. I think Dems that think like this must be in toxic abusive relationships already, cause they sure don’t know when to leave.
Lol.
Allow me to introduce you to reality. First thing’s first. You don’t get everything you want in reality. It fucking sucks and you have to bust your ass to get things even close to how you want them slowly over long periods of time.
Now, being that we’ve established reality, allow me to further explain this particular part of reality.
There is no scenario in which America gives up its oldest and most important ally in the Middle East. Not happening. Go ahead and forget that shit. That means America is going to tip-toe around Israel so as not to jeopardize that allegiance.
So now, in reality, you were presented with exactly two options in November. Why only two options? Because no 3rd party is even remotely close to winning a presidential election because no 3rd party has done the work to get ANY members in EITHER chamber of Congress. How do I know a 3rd party can’t win, other than having NO members in Congress? Because the 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein who magically appears right before every election then magically disappears again after each election. And she only got exactly HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast. So now we know, definitively, that no 3rd party candidate had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the 2024 presidential election.
So now let’s talk about our ONLY two options. One was NOT Donald Trump and the other one was, you guessed it, Donald Trump who, before the election, literally said “Israel should finish the job”. He made it abundantly clear, multiple times, that he gave exactly zero fucks about Palestine. And now, surprise surprise, he wants to level the place, round up Palestinians and send them to other countries, and build a fucking vacation resort.
So, rub those brain cells together and let me know which option would have been best for Palestinians. Let me know which option someone who claims to care about Palestinians should have chosen to minimize the suffering. Because you can cry to your mommy all day about neither option being good, but the bottom line is if you gave a fuck, you’d be interested in helping minimize the suffering.
And that’s just in relation to Palestine. If you did your homework like any responsible American should, you’d find out that our economy fairs better under Democrats, they have WAY less convicted criminals in their ranks, and they have a voting history proving they regularly vote in favor of the middle and lower classes. And again, I’ll repeat, your ONLY two options for the foreseeable future, until a 3rd party gets off their asses and does some real hard work, are either Democrats or Republicans.
Now, if you’re admitting you either didn’t vote or protest voted, you probably don’t have the brain cells to grasp anything I just said, but hopefully others reading this will.
Lol.
Now that you “established reality”, let me add one caveat of reality that keeps getting ignored when folks make your argument.
Left wing voters are not motivated by genocide, nor trying to meet those who do support it in the middle with “just a bit of genocide, as a treat”.
Maybe America can’t give up its “most important ally in the middle east”. But in that case, unless the Dems could find a way to bridge the gap between appeasing Israel and stopping genocide, then it was obvious they were going to lose.
But they didn’t even try to. FFS they didn’t even try to pay lip service to the very notion. Nor did they try to rally their base with policies their base has been asking for for decades. Instead they campaigned on “we are a big enough tent to welcome Republicans like Dick Fucking Cheney”. With a last minute candidate swap putting forward someone who lost the last primary by a frankly embarrassing margin.
I voted for Kamala, I kept these opinions to myself to not push voters away from doing so, and I pushed the harm reduction argument to anyone who was considering abstaining or voting 3rd party. I still believe it was the best play we had with the hand we were dealt. But it wasn’t the best play the Democrats had, it was damn near the worst.
When we have decades of data to show how many people don’t vote, and how fickle those who do are, it’s on the political party to motivate their voters. And Dems just didn’t fucking bother. On the contrary, the reality is that the party the motivated almost all voters in the country was MAGA. Be it for or against Trump. Almost no one was voting FOR Kamala.
So welcome to reality, the reality that you cant win an election based on the virtue of “being the second worst option”.
Left wing voters are not motivated by genocide, nor trying to meet those who do support it in the middle with “just a bit of genocide, as a treat”.
Since we’re adding caveats of reality, I’ll join in: the Democrats’ myriad mistakes and missteps in “motivating” left wing voters does not absolve those voters of their own responsibility.
You did the right thing
voted for Kamala, I kept these opinions to myself to not push voters away from doing so, and I pushed the harm reduction argument to anyone who was considering abstaining or voting 3rd party.
I did the same, despite my own similar lack of “motivation”, because as you said, it was the best play we had with the hand we were dealt. The criticism here is leveled at the third party voters and abstainers, because the people here are voters. If you want to criticize Democratic leadership, I encourage you to direct that criticism directly toward them.
I would love to have had a viable alternative, but without significant representation in Congress and state Governorship, it’s just not going to happen. Successful presidential campaigns don’t just appear out of thin air (unless you have a massive cult of personality). The vast majority of presidents were previously Senators or Governors, offices that they rose to after careers that began at the local level. If you want better options, actually vote in your local elections, and encourage other leftists to do the same.
Until then, red vs blue is our reality, and criticizing the lesser evil for not being good enough is a virtue signal circle jerk.
LOL… go ahead and splain away why you think people should vote for the slave holder. Why it isn’t on the slave holder to change their beliefs, but on the people voting to just suck it up. In fact, you don’t even think you should bother getting the slave holder to change their beliefs. You are fine with slavery.
Now, if you’re admitting you either didn’t vote or protest voted, you probably don’t have the brain cells to grasp anything I just said, but hopefully others reading this will.
Jill Stein received more votes from Palestinians than Harris. Now according to you, Democrats like yourself are just way smarter than they are capable of comprehending and they should just sit down, shut up & do what you tell them. The slave holder knows best according to you.
I’ll just leave this here

If you are concerned with spoiler candidates, you should be very invest in passing electoral reform in your state. That way the people voting for the green party could still potentially have their votes counted against the republicans, even if the green party didn’t win.
Are you working to pass electoral reform in your state?
I could vent for an hour about everything that’s wrong with this, at least an hour.
Dancing dudes with beards and round tits on the beach?
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?
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.
basically every movie that had a ‘bad guy’ in the 80s and 90s was essentially a trump parody
Sadly "everyone"does not include his supporters
I’ve thought he is stupid several times but I think he is just nefarious. He could be both, but you should never underestimate your enemy.
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…
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.
Don’t seem to be there anymore
Still there for me
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
Remember how Al Franken’s career basically ended when that (certainly creepy and gross) picture of him groping a sleeping soldier came up? That the attitude in general among Dems was “yeah that’s pretty fucked up”?
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.
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.
Otherwise it’s simply not possible without pretty substantial election reform, something neither party has interest in.
True but Alaska has already accomplished passing electoral reform. Republicans even tried to go back to First-past-the-post voting with a referendum last election and it didn’t pass.
So now the question is why are the democrats using a voting system republicans prefer and protect in red states?
Same reason we don’t have single payer healthcare, they can’t get enough votes and have way too much respect for the institution to play dirty.
I’m excited for the 2026 primaries. Dems have some house cleaning to do.
They haven’t learned a thing yet. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Republicans win more seats.
I’m choosing to think positively.
What part matches the Antichrist?
I never claimed that. just sayin what I read on the replies. Honestly it’s not a perfect match but none of the prophecies of the bible ever are to reality.
Oh ok, we’re in The same spot. I thought there was something about the Antichrist becoming king of some part of Holly land or something. Seen other comparisons before that were kinda spot on. I don’t care for religion, but the last year kinda make me wish end of time could be partially true and rapture getting us rid of Jesus freaks would be a net positive.
I think what they are seeing is the parallels to the golden calf and idol worship. I’m not much for religion either tbh.
These were the top few replies on trending. To be clear I made the account specifically to see what fiasco trump “truths” next.
“you dancing with someone other than your wife”
They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story…
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
This is literally a thing I have been saying would happen for over a year. This is darkly hilarious.
Ceasefire Joe was putting these kinds of posts on social media instead: nsfl image
Yeah Genocide Joe sure loves a dead Palestinian too. I’m so sick of people just accepting status quo.
Yeah, Trump and Biden and Harris all want the same thing for Gaza, but Trump sure is a whole lot less subtle about it
Honestly, sharing an insane AI video to social media is such peak boomer. Perfectly on brand for him and his audience.
Yeah, its like your uncle that just discovered ChatGPT. I guess all this is probably Grok?
What. The. FUCK.
Just two guys having a good time (and genocide).
Please don’t post news from aggregators.
Here’s the original article:
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.
It works for me:
Doesn’t for me, maybe the mobile version is different.
…you mean like Lemmy?
What are the issues with aggregators?
They steal advertisement revenues from the sources that created the content they serve.
LOL. We all use adblockers around here.
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.
Fediverse is said to be too confusing to use from redditors when reasons are given for why that haven’t joined, so this demographic of users likely skews much higher towards ad blocking with how niche the user base is.
By the same token, one can argue that expert Fediversers shouldn’t have any trouble retracing the true origin of whatever story they want to post and linking to that instead, to give credit where credit is due.
Because really, it doesn’t cost anything and it helps deprive the leeching aggregators of a few clicks.
That’s a different matter though when it comes to ad block usage here, which you had presented as though this place has the same mainstream access of non ad block users as other platforms.
I’m just talking about ad block usage of fediverse compared to other sites.
Bearded belly dancers…
So he doesn’t mind trans anymore?
WTAF
The Trump regieme officially endorses Palestinian transwomen, as long as they have abundant facial hair.
I think this is their way of saying you must be trans if you don’t support Trump.
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
I think this may also lead to others’ criticising them …
What AI video technology was used to create this video? It’s further along than I thought AI was at at this point. Are we sure this was entirely AI?
OpenAI released much more impressive demo videos last year, and I think Sora is available to the public now. I don’t think most proprietary models/systems allow you to use public figures though, so it’s probably an open-source system.
This is what I remember of last year’s Sora demo. Fun, but… not quite there yet.
Yeah, those were the problematic cases they highlighted. Image/video generation usually involves generating many permutations, perhaps adjusting prompts, and just keeping/editing the parts they want. The Trump video is likely made up of many edited clips from many different prompts, after discarding many more, not just one prompt. The song may be one prompt; haven’t played around with music generation myself.
Well some people agree Netanyahu & Trump are secret lovers.
The video: https://streamable.com/vn80zz
Just a heads up, streamable takes down videos after a bit.
But Lemmy doesn’t allow uploading videos and catbox gave me an error when I tried to push it there :(
/edit Now it worked… https://files.catbox.moe/xk8808.mp4
