Trump Posts 57 AI-Generated Images and Videos in 3 Weeks — "Slopaganda" Era Begins (2026-05)
Trump posts 57 AI-generated images and videos on Truth Social in a three-week period, including himself riding a lion through a jungle, sinking an Iranian navy ship, planting a flag on the moon, appearing on Mount Rushmore with the Founding Fathers, and UFC fights on the White House lawn. The images mark a qualitative shift in propaganda: they are not meant to deceive anyone into believing specific falsehoods, but to normalize a post-truth visual environment where reality and fabrication are indistinguishable. Trump also posts AI-generated videos of his political enemies in degrading scenarios. The "slopaganda" technique makes traditional fact-checking irrelevant.
