In Trump’s latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says “Trump Gaza,” and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.
All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he’s their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.
When I saw the balloon of his stupid face in the video, I immediately wondered how many it would take to just carry him away. Is he still insisting he weights 215 lbs? I would guess more like 280, so that’d be 296 jumbo balloons according to https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/helium-balloons.
Please don’t post news from aggregators.
Here’s the original article:
The link I provided included the video inline, but I don’t see it with the link you provided. I tried finding a better source that included the video with it, but they were all right-leaning news organizations.
It works for me:
Doesn’t for me, maybe the mobile version is different.
…you mean like Lemmy?
What are the issues with aggregators?
They steal advertisement revenues from the sources that created the content they serve.
LOL. We all use adblockers around here.
For those who don’t…
I mean if we have to do advertisement-supported journalism, whichever advertisement revenues are generated should go to the creators, not to the thieves. It doesn’t cost you anything to link to the real McCoy rather than the copy, and if someone finds your post from outside Lemmy and clicks on your link without an ad blocker, it will send a tenth of a penny to the creator.
And yes, plenty of people browse without an ad blocker. How do I know? Because the advertisement industry is still alive and well, sadly.
Fediverse is said to be too confusing to use from redditors when reasons are given for why that haven’t joined, so this demographic of users likely skews much higher towards ad blocking with how niche the user base is.
By the same token, one can argue that expert Fediversers shouldn’t have any trouble retracing the true origin of whatever story they want to post and linking to that instead, to give credit where credit is due.
Because really, it doesn’t cost anything and it helps deprive the leeching aggregators of a few clicks.
That’s a different matter though when it comes to ad block usage here, which you had presented as though this place has the same mainstream access of non ad block users as other platforms.
I’m just talking about ad block usage of fediverse compared to other sites.
Here’s a direct link, as I didn’t believe it was real:

Can you imagine the outrage if Biden, Obama, or Bush had this posted on an even semi-official account? Or even Trump in his first term?
Now it’s just… another Wednesday?
Don’t seem to be there anymore
Still there for me
It’s very close to what I imagined when he first started talking about the Riviera of the middle east - but I have to admit, I didn’t have the statue and I had more golf. I obviously didn’t have the bearded belly dancers either - I guess I expected them to review it before release.
I think everyone has accepted at this point that Trump is extremely stupid and might be borderline mentally challenged. I mean even in the 80s people knew he was dumb, Biff Tannen in back to the future was reportedly based on Trump.
Sadly "everyone"does not include his supporters
basically every movie that had a ‘bad guy’ in the 80s and 90s was essentially a trump parody
I’ve thought he is stupid several times but I think he is just nefarious. He could be both, but you should never underestimate your enemy.
100%, he is actively working with BRICS countries to destabilize our economy and kill us all. Part of that is working with Tulsi, Israel, and India/Modi to exterminate Muslims. The cult Tulsi is in is for just that, and her testimony at her confirmation hearing also explicitly referenced Muslims as her #1 issue. My assumption is that Iran and Saudi Arabia are going to use the turmoil to gain power over Islamic nations and eliminate their competition.

Look, most stupid people aren’t that mean and wouldn’t do this. I need you all to call him out for his immorality and stop throwing dumb people under the bus
All the resources of the United States and he posts a badly done AI video with a shitty jingle. And it looks more like an ad for a Trump branded resort than a peace deal…
No way this is going to blow up in anyone’s face, no way at all…
shitty jingle
Which sounds ai generated as well
bizarre doesn’t even begin to explain this video
what the actual
What? HE posted that? I thought it was a parody and he was angry about it? Are we SURE he posted it? I mean… it shows him fat and ugly. WTF?
Oh, forget it, shitty screen.
Honestly, sharing an insane AI video to social media is such peak boomer. Perfectly on brand for him and his audience.
Yeah, its like your uncle that just discovered ChatGPT. I guess all this is probably Grok?
What. The. FUCK.
Just two guys having a good time (and genocide).
But “genocide Joe”, tho, amirite protest / non-voters???

Yes, but Trump has said what he wants to do clearly and was happy about it, instead of frowning and wagging his finger while sending the weapons and publishing the propaganda. If Biden was supporting this, his complicity would be debatable.
Idk why I bother, but Biden’s main goal was the hostages which is why he canceled the ceasefire. Yes he sucks but he wasn’t per se for the genocide, he was for getting the hostages released as his main goal. Which arguably Israel was using their own people in Gaza as proxy hostages, bombing them and threatening to kill them unless the US kept giving them money, creating a reincarnation of the Iran Contra hostages that lost Carter the election. Notice that Netanyahu and Trump are buddies and Netanyahu vastly prefers Trump to Biden.
Choices were either bad or much, much worse, and you chose the latter, sooooooo…congrats on your moral posturing that fucked Palestinians even worse!
LOL… seriously? He sponsored killing approx. 70k Palestinians and his admin continually vetoed UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire, yet you’re bitter at voters that didn’t want to vote for Kamala “couldn’t think of anything I’d do differently” Cheney. You lost the moral high ground my dude.
What are your thoughts on harm reduction? Should we choose the thing that hurts more people or fewer people?
Who is we to you? We chose already. You don’t get to choose for other people.
They didn’t say they would choose for others. They are asking what you think about harm reduction. That you responded in bad faith reveals a lot about you
Dude that doesn’t even make sense as a response to the comment above it. Stop wasting your own time? Go do something fun.
Lol yeah, fucking seriously, you people are un-fucking-believable, have zero respect or patience with your shot, get fucked.

K
Hmm should I choose getting shot in the face or kicked in the balls?
The Palestinians chose that they didn’t want Democrats paying & sending weapons to people to massacre them. Sad that is what you want to do.
No it’s sad that you’re blind to pragmatic approaches to our reality.
That’s obviously not what I want to do. But I’m like 90% you’re part of an ongoing psy op to split votes away from Dems to help the GOP win elections and suppress votes through apathy. So what does it matter anyways I’m just spitting into the wind writing this or any replies to you.
I am part of a psyop called humanity. I don’t want people being okay with Democrats supporting and funding massacre of innocent people, many of them kids. I don’t want to see Republicans win elections any more than you, but that is the natural process of people not being enthusiastic to vote when you are justifying supporting genocide.
If Democrats want to win elections next time around then they should start talking about how they’ll honor the ICC arrest warrant and how they intend to sanction Israel. However, I’m fully prepared for you to explain why they can’t do that just like you explained away them funding genocide. Democrats need more than Trump Bad.
I don’t think I should need to explain the principles of harm reduction and pragmatism to you. Short version is it would have been better for Palestinians if Democrats won the presidential election.
Politics just doesn’t work the way you’re wanting it to. Sorry that I would rather cast a vote for a lesser evil than burn my vote and let an even worse outcome be manifest.
So you know what is better for Palestinians than Palestinians do? Haven’t we heard this before throughout history and acknowledged it is racist?
Evil has many faces, sometimes funding a genocide, other times advocating ethnic cleansing.
Spare me. Dems are as evil as Republicans.
Cool story, much edgy
No, they aren’t. They never did this:
nbcnews.com/investigations/incoming-trump-administration-plans-deport-migrants-countries-rcna182896
And he’s got the Silk Road guy and Andrew Tate helping him - they are going to traffick us to other country for slave labor and parts and steal our money and land.
He’s already trying to make it a crime to be mentally unwell, and has made up a fake mental illness called “Trump Derangement Syndrome,”/TDS which is basically anyone who isn’t in his cult and disagrees with him. Dems not only didn’t do this, they COULDN’T do this.
Dems also are not anti-abortion and all the cruelty that leads to.
Yes, Neoliberalism is bad and ruining our country too. But it’s not NEAR as bad as full blown fascism, please learn some political literacy, you’re killing us all with your inability to see nuance and distinctions.
Genocide joe, genocide Trump. Enjoying the company you keep blue conservative?
Why is it that you relish in the fact that other Americans are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Do you hate democracy?
There is a better way. One in which people are free to vote for who best represents them. Are you working to give these people the freedom to vote for who they want? Or are you waiting to scream at people to vote for your preference.
Here are some helpful videos to show you that the democrats don’t have to be the only opposition to the republican party. I would say the democrats have more then lost their privilege to go it alone at the republicans.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
A two party system is only one away from a one party state.
Cool, hit me up when you can get state legislatures to agree to that shit.
In the meantime I’ll be voting for the Dem party precisely because of the reason(s) your linked videos on voting systems say it’s dumb to not vote for one of the two parties in a first past the post system.
I can’t grok much of what you’re saying, seems to be mostly in response to some strawman you’ve conjured, as most/all of it doesn’t make sense in response to what I said.
This is literally insane. Like “need urgently to go to book a visit with a specialist” insane.
Could you believe it if you saw it just 4 months ago, with everyone screaming “Genocide Joe”
He actually posted it on “truth” https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114068387897265338
I am really curious to see what the followers replied to that, but i don’t have an account
This is literally a thing I have been saying would happen for over a year. This is darkly hilarious.
Yeah, Trump and Biden and Harris all want the same thing for Gaza, but Trump sure is a whole lot less subtle about it
These were the top few replies on trending. To be clear I made the account specifically to see what fiasco trump “truths” next.
I don’t know why but the “There is no God in this” got me full on belly laughing
“you dancing with someone other than your wife”
They might have missed that whole Stormy Daniels story…
Thanks for screen grabbing these so I didn’t have to go there
r/conservative actually is appalled by this, and his statement that Zelensky is a dictator who started the war
Ceasefire Joe was putting these kinds of posts on social media instead: nsfl image
Yeah Genocide Joe sure loves a dead Palestinian too. I’m so sick of people just accepting status quo.
It was a major issue that the Democratic Party chose to ignore, in opposition to the vast majority of their voter base and domestic/international law. That cost them votes at a time when they should have been doing everything possible to earn as many votes as possible. If they instead leaned into popular progressive policies, they could have instead fractured the Republican base. The party is 100% responsible for how they ran their campaign, despite all the polling data showing a change would give significant gains in votes, at the time where they should have done everything possible to win against a fascist.
A post-election poll showed the reason Kamala Cheney lost was because of her Biden-era stance on Palestine.
The first two show exactly that. The rest show how much support progressive economic policies have that they could have run on. They also should have taken a mass amnesty approach to immigration, which has more support than mass deportations, a fascist policy.

It seems to range from mild disapproval to saying it’s a sign of the antichrist but they still support him. Absolutely wild that people could watch this from trump and still support him. Some people replied thinking it was a joke. This is crazy the mental back flips some of the replies have.
Yeah, you can tell the Democratic party is a far superior organization if only because they have a few people in it who were willing to call out Biden and Harris’s support for genocide, where meanwhile the whole Republican party will support Trump no matter what he says or does
Unfortunately the issue is those voices get mocked & suppressed by the establishment Democrats in the major public positions of the Democratic Party that are beholden to their donors. I personally would love to see a new party emerge after all this that has a more progressive public agenda.
Best bet is probably progressives just taking over Dems the same way MAGA has it’s roots in the Tea Party shit decades ago. Otherwise it’s simply not possible without pretty substantial election reform, something neither party has interest in.
I’m excited for the 2026 primaries. Dems have some house cleaning to do.
They haven’t learned a thing yet. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Republicans win more seats.
I’m choosing to think positively.
Otherwise it’s simply not possible without pretty substantial election reform, something neither party has interest in.
True but Alaska has already accomplished passing electoral reform. Republicans even tried to go back to First-past-the-post voting with a referendum last election and it didn’t pass.
So now the question is why are the democrats using a voting system republicans prefer and protect in red states?
Same reason we don’t have single payer healthcare, they can’t get enough votes and have way too much respect for the institution to play dirty.
Remember how Al Franken’s career basically ended when that (certainly creepy and gross) picture of him groping a sleeping soldier came up? That the attitude in general among Dems was “yeah that’s pretty fucked up”?
What part matches the Antichrist?
I never claimed that. just sayin what I read on the replies. Honestly it’s not a perfect match but none of the prophecies of the bible ever are to reality.
Oh ok, we’re in The same spot. I thought there was something about the Antichrist becoming king of some part of Holly land or something. Seen other comparisons before that were kinda spot on. I don’t care for religion, but the last year kinda make me wish end of time could be partially true and rapture getting us rid of Jesus freaks would be a net positive.
I think what they are seeing is the parallels to the golden calf and idol worship. I’m not much for religion either tbh.
The hope is that more and more people in the US realize how deranged their “president” is.
Look at the fucking hands. Why can’t AI figure hands out?
Good question. I’ve noticed it on all the bot promoting accounts on X allowed by Elon pictures with hands are deformed as well. Irises are another giveaway.
People can still barely figure hands out lol
Dear God. If you’re going to bother using AI to put your fantasies out there, at least take the time to give yourself some abs, not whatever (gags) that is.
bodyshaming
I just love that theres multiple shots of Elon stuffing his face for some reason
With the weirdest fake dishes too
he is quite obsessed with transpeople.
