Trump is what happens when you start believing your own propaganda, and think you can order leaders of sovereign countries around because you’re “the leader of the free world”.
Correction, we “were” the leader of the free world

I dunno, we could vote for it I guess…
Wait, what?! I thought the ceasefire between Pakistan and India had actually been negotiated by the Trump administration!

The world is led by fox news 😵💫
Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.
As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore.
I would also point out that there’s been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.
And just like we’ve seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don’t gaf.
They get no engagement though. Social media’s dumped fact checking, which means most won’t see it.
He is a straight up LOON
Loser obviously on narcotics?
Definitely on something
Is TACO an abbreviation or the food?
Taco’s did nothing to deserve being associated with that prick.“Trump always chickens out”.
Seems a bit soft, surely we can come up with something better?
Maybe CUNT : Consistently Undermines National Trust?Or what about TAINT : Trump’s An Inbred Nazi Tribalist
I get what you are saying, but also it’s much more difficult to park a Cunt or Taint van in front of the white house than a Taco one.
It’s the news-safe words that get published. FUCKFACE Trump doesn’t get headlines.
But Weird Republicans and Taco Don do, and they get under his skin.
TACO was specifically something that came about because of him repeatedly caving in on tariffs. I think someone in the media eventually said Trump Always Chickens Out and they ran with it.
I believe it was the financial sector that came up with it. They can predict how the market reacts since they know he will cave later.
Taco is also fantasy sports slang for a random idiot that never seems to get punished for their awful decisions. From a character on The League.
Well, he never did let a little thing like the truth stop him and it’s not like his voter base hears news from anyone but him.
Hallucinating the best, most perfect phone calls.
Maybe they’re just putting someone on with a fake accent to keep him busy and he really believes it.

they are incredible phone calls, we have the best phone calls in the world. nobody phone calls like we do
Are we sure Trump isn’t an LLM?
His misfiring neurons are kind of like that, yeah.
Jesus Lord above don’t give them ideas. A trump LLM would fit perfectly with his bullshit scam phones.
There’s a money making opportunity for someone unscrupulous right there.
That’s probably the idea with the big beautiful bill and AI shit - make an AI version of King Trump to allow his glorious rule to continue after he dies.
He has used AI generated reports a few times already.
It doesn’t need to be AI. I could probably programme a random sentence generator that sounds exactly like him in an hour.
Bigly Language Model, maybe?
even the worst trained llm is more coherent
He certainly is large.
How do you misspell “Newsom” on literally the next line?
It was just something new.
Have you ever tried to spell Gnusum correctly, spaysnudel?
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as sum, is in fact, GNU/sum, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus sum.
holy hell!
This is peak Lemmy.
The phone in question:

“I never drink or do drugs.”
Alcohol and Drugs: “Uhhh… no comment.”
I’m starting to think someone is just prank calling him.
He just wants everyone to think he’s actually working.
Trump believes that he’s still on a TV show
I don’t doubt any of these points but it’d be better to bring the receipts:
- China deal: https://www.reuters.com/world/chinas-foreign-ministry-says-xi-trump-did-not-have-call-recently-2025-04-28/
- India Pakistan cease fire: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/india-will-not-accept-third-party-mediation-relations-with-pakistan-modi-tells-2025-06-18/
- Phone call to Newsom: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/10/trump-gavin-newsom-call-protests-los-angeles-law-enforcement
- Iran call: couldn’t find a reliable news source about this in the past two weeks
I think the only real deal he’s ever made is with Baalzebub.
I could easily see him doing a deal similar to the one in “The fall of the house of Usher”
You don’t pay the price. Your children do.
Is he confusing his daydreams/dreams for reality? that ain’t a good sign
