When a random image/text makes a claim, such as saying trump tried to pass off an ai generated image of himself as real, you might consider its not true.
Just because trump might not be someone i would trust, doesnt mean i should trust anything and everything that insults him, especially when that thing is nothing more than a jpeg with no information about where it came from.
So, in order to be a good participant of the internet, and to help avoid the perpetuation of disinformation, i would want to ask if the image has merit before accidentally forming some opinion on the matter. Or maybe even independently try to verify if its true through other sources. So far, nobody has been able to verify anything that suggests i should believe trump did this. So i think i wont be believing anything like this happened (yet).
Edit: and sorry for coming off as condescending in my first comment. I could have just been more straight forward with you instead of trying to comment something that i expected to be upvoted more. I really kind of caved to the karma system and the social pressure it creates.
In all honesty I think a real Trump supporter made the image.
I’m not sure that Trump needs defending from claims that he made up some fake, crass, self-serving lie involving a church, though, even if this particular one wasn’t him, so I’m not sure why everyone’s so cross with me for entertaining the possibility.
Maybe it’s because I made fun of some of his supporters for wearing diapers in support of him, but I think it’s exactly the sort of idiotic behaviour that’s worth calling out.
Perhaps it’s because I said Trump helps stupid racist xenophobic misogynists feel good about all that by being their shining beacon in the nighttime of people annoyingly asking them to be considerate and polite, but I’m not sure being considerate and polite to such folk has got us very far in dissuading them.
Its called thinking my guy.
What’s called thinking?
