Trump triggered by Lincoln Project ad calling him 'weak' -- and claims videos are fake AI

Trump is accusing his conservative nemeses of cooking up A.I. videos to discredit him. A video titled "Feeble," posted by The Lincoln Project on Monday, was quickly swatted away by the 45th president as "fake."

"The perverts and losers at the failed and once disbanded Lincoln Project, and others, are using A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) in their Fake television commercials in order to make me look as bad and pathetic as Crooked Joe Biden, not an easy thing to do," he posted on TruthSocial. "Fox News shouldn’t run these ads, just as low ratings CNN & MSDNC will not, under any circumstances, run negative ads on Biden or the Democrats. "They are, after all, in-kind campaign contributors to the Dems!"

The minute-long video is a slick takedown of the aspiring leader committing a series of gaffes and blunders both during and since leaving the White House. The Lincoln Project, made up of a cadre of GOP and ex-GOP anti-Trumpers, suggests the candidate running to unseat President Joe Biden is "weak" and "unsteady." "You need help getting around," a female's voice suggests as Trump struggles with trying to pronounce the word "anonymous."

In 2020, Trump appeared to be slurring his words during a speech in New Jersey, prompting even Fox to snicker. CNN crafted a super-cut of Trump sniffling and slurring his words from 2017, when he was much younger. The narrator then asks: "Are you sure you don't have dementia," before answering the question in a hushed whisper with a still photo of Trump with his arm around his father. "It runs in the family." Fred Trump Sr. died of Alzheimer's Disease.

Tue Dec 5, 2023, 11:14 AM
Dec 2023

For a so-called billionaire, Trump is one of the worst dressed men in the world. His clothes are uniformly ill-fitting. And boring.

Of course, his physique is not ideal for first-class attire. The irony, of course, is that I'm certain Trump pays a lot for his wardrobe.

Regarding his pants, consider a few observations. Trump's body is grossly pear-shaped and he has spindly legs. Accordingly, his waist/hips/buttocks are large compared to his legs resulting in slacks that need to be full at the top but slender in the legs. That's a tough combination. It also looks like Trump wears adult diapers which is implied by the way his pants bulge around his lower torso. Combined with his body type, this challenges a tailor to craft slacks with a complex pattern.

Physically, Trump isa schlub. Intellectually, he's an idiot. Politically, he's a grave danger.

Tue Dec 5, 2023, 01:06 PM

It was interesting, done tongue-in-cheek, being respectful but not respectful. They advised to drop the orange spray-on & to change the length of the sleeves of his suit so his hands wouldn't look so tiny. They completely made over his head & that mess on top although I think they were kind with how much hair they gave him.

Oh look. I still have their photoshopped image. It's an improvement but the bar was pretty low to begin with. He still looks like a shyster.

…what I could only describe in words. My comparison was with President Taft, well known for being a “big” man. Every photo of Taft shows him in a well-tailored 3-piece suit, and he looks good.

Trump is vain enough to buy $1,000 brand name suits, and for whatever reason, too damn cheap to ever have them tailored. Maybe his worshippers think he shows the common touch, but actually he looks like a slob who sleeps in his clothes.

To try & hide his gut he sticks his butt out which I think is why his jackets are so large so when he wants to shift that girth more to the back his jacket will compensate. He's a mess no matter how you look at it, but yes, the GQ spread took some verbal jabs but he looks much better.

Tue Dec 5, 2023, 02:05 PM

As reported by Michael Wolff in his new book about President Trump’s first year in office, Fire and Fury: Inside Trump’s White House, we learn that it is Trump’s beloved daughter that leads the chorus of those who mock the Trump “do” (or “don’t’).

“She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others,” Wolff writes, as extracted in New York magazine. “She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate—a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery—surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”

Someone forgot to put the shoulder pads in. Looks like it's made from nylon tent fabric and way too big for him.

I remember that one time he tried to wear a tuxedo during a visit with Queen Elizabeth. He looked like a clown, or some dunce character from a Benny Hill sketch.

Static comes from the friction of slippery fabric which seems too light to make a suit. ???

Also, there's this stuff called Static Guard but I wouldn't expect his staff to know about that.

Even in the 70s, we 'dumb' models figured out that we could use dryer sheets to rub over static-prone clothes or nylons before going onto a runway or for a photo shoot. I kept a box of them in my kit at all times for that reason. Remember, the late 70s were still the stocking generation, so we definitely needed those sheets to keep slinky fabrics from doing rude things after coming into contact with nylons.

We'd run the sheets over our hair, too, for those weird winter days when static made us look like Medusa., rather than shiny-haired underfed lasses.

but instead of keeping lists and writing notes to himself like the common folk, he has people around him to remind him what he needs to be doing at any given moment. He might even know he's starting to lose it, but I doubt it. He'll be arrogant until there is nothing left of him.

What we're really seeing is how much stress he's dealing with, which isn't good for early dementia.

and handling communication for them is what all rich people have--and do.

I'm reluctant to say he's losing anything. I don't think that's it to any significant degree, or at least not yet, but his narcissism makes it difficult to tell what's going on. Narcissists always say and do stupid, cruel and hateful things when they're stressed out. My narcissist mum has always tripped over words when she was sputtering mad about something. That was true in her 30s, and it's still true in her 80s, but she hasn't lost anything upstairs.

I think we need to wait and see for now, but I also don't think it would hurt if an independent physician took a serious and *objective* look at him.
