Why IS Trumpelstiltskin so orange?

Too bad the article couldn't predict how Trump's wigs would grow and change over the years, particularly the growth of the cornice.

MOTHER JONES tried to answer that question ten years ago, in an article by Stephanie Mencimer:

AI has enabled Iran and others to communicate directly with Western audiences more effectively than ever before, Briant says. They are using tools largely trained on Western data, making them ideal for creating "culturally appropriate" content.

"Slopaganda" - coined in an academic paper last year as a play on 'AI slop' - is too weak a term to capture how powerful this "highly sophisticated" content is, says leading propaganda expert Dr Emma Briant.

'Social media platforms have been shutting down accounts with the Lego-style videos, but new ones seem to pop up just as quickly.'

This BBC angle is so tired. They're rattled too. Share these videos far and wide!

More than a little heavy-handed, but some of it is guaranteed to raise Trump's blood pressure, no matter how many baby aspirins he's gobbling these days.

"Orange pig" could be replaced, though..

Viktor Orban losing means Trump and GOP will double down on trying to steal the 2026 election. They know a blue tsunami is coming. We must be even more vigilant in protecting the election!

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.

Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.

It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.
