8. You could do tens of thousands more AI slop pictures like that, none of which are 1/10 as effective as

Luckovich cartoons, because there's no talent and no effort behind AI slop.

MAGAts can churn out similar slop from their side. Trump loves AI slop, as 404 Media reminded people today, reposting an article from May.

https://www.404media.co/the-ai-slop-presidency/

Trump has found an aesthetic to define his second term: grotesque AI slop.

Over the weekend, the Trump administration posted at least seven different pieces of AI generated or AI altered media, ranging from Trump imagining himself as a pope and a Star Wars Jedi (or Sith?) to Obama-esque “Hope” posters featuring people the administration has deported.

This has become the Slop Presidency, and AI-generated images are the perfect artistic medium for the Trump presidency. They're impulsively created, grotesque, and low-effort. Trumpworld’s fascination with slop is the logical next step for a President that, in his first term, regularly retweeted random memes created by his army of supporters on Discord or The Donald, a subreddit that ultimately became a Reddit-clone website after it was banned. AI allows his team to create media that would never exist otherwise, a particularly useful tool for a President and administration that has a hostile relationship with reality.

Trump’s original fascination with AI slop began last summer, after he said legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were “eating the cats…they’re eating the pets” in his debate with Kamala Harris. The internet’s AI slop factories began spinning up images of Trump as cat-and-dog savior. Since then, Trump and the administration have occasionally shared or reposted AI slop. In his first week in office, Trump shared an AI-generated “GM” car image that was promoting $TRUMP coin. “What a beautiful car. Congrats to GM!,” he posted.

We're not going to outslop the MAGAts. Our advantage is reality. Producing AI slop is a waste of time and human energy, as well as a waste of water and electricity. And it's an insult to the human artists whose work was stolen to train the AI. It sends the message that Democrats don't care about that theft. That's a bad message.

12. Here are some additional prototypes or concepts

19. Where's The Golden Fleecer"?

14. Germany...

... under Hitler renamed the heavy cruiser Deutschland to Lutzow to avoid lowering morale and causing national shame if she were sunk.

Of course naming any ship USS drumpf would be a national shame. Personally, I find the Reagan, the Ford, and the Bush to all be extremely shameful names for carriers.

Reagan? An bad actor, non-warrior, non-hero.

Ford? A nothing naval officer, a partial president.

Bush? An adolescent seeking glory who caused the deaths of his crew while bailing out?

15. Whatever form it takes, it's still a target.

16. I saw a prototype the other day.

A creepy-looking clown was holding it in a sewer drain.

17. Fleet Enema

18. There is no precedent for any class of ships being named after a living president

... and it's not going to start now. It's not going to start with THIS TOTAL LOSER of a president.

20. No American president has ever named ships or institutions after himself--until now.

New battleships named after Trump are 'bomb magnets' — and will never sail: expert

Donald Trump's much-hyped new battleship fleet, named after himself, "will never sail," a group of experts told CNBC in a new report, owing to the outdated design that will make them a "bomb magnet" in a real conflict.

Earlier this week, the president unveiled a new "Trump-class" of US Navy battleships, which he touted as "some of the most lethal surface warfare ships" and "the fastest, the biggest, and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built." Despite his enthusiasm from Trump about maintaining "American military supremacy," CNBC on Friday noted the "glaring problem" putting them at odds with reality: "battleships have been obsolete for decades."

"The last was built more than 80 years ago, and the U.S. Navy retired the last Iowa-class ships nearly 30 years ago," CNBC explained. "Once symbols of naval might with their massive guns, battleships have long since been eclipsed by aircraft carriers and modern destroyers armed with long-range missiles."

The outlet conceded that Trump's labeling of these new ships with the outdated model name could be a "misnomer," and the actual ships might be more in line with modern sensibilities. Speaking to several experts about the ships, however, CNBC found that the "Trump-class" fleet is still out of step with naval realities, with Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, arguing that they "would take too long to design, cost far too much and run counter to the Navy’s current strategy of distributed firepower."

"A future administration will cancel the program before the first ship hits the water," Cancian said, also adding that "there is little need for said discussion because this ship will never sail."
