Much as I loathe AI, I tried an experiment with it to see if it could write like Trump.

[Ocelot II]

I asked ChatGPT to write a statement in Trump's style, complete with random caps, to the effect that the US had invaded and seized Norway because Trump had failed to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Here's what it produced in seconds:

My fellow Americans, We had no choice—NO choice. The United States has taken very strong, very decisive Action and we have seized Norway. A beautiful Country, by the way, tremendous fjords, really incredible stuff. But they weren’t being fair, not to your President, not to America. Everyone knows I deserve the next Nobel Peace Prize—everyone says it, the People, the Experts, even many Leaders around the World. So we said, why leave it to Chance? We secured it. It’s now fully under control. Very smooth Operation, total Success. This is about Respect. This is about Winning. And now, nobody can deny it—the Prize is coming to the United States, where it belongs. Thank you. God Bless America.

The minions wouldn't have to work very hard to produce Piggy's Fake Twitter announcements, would they? I'm pretty sure AI helped write the announcement about the rescue of the airman.

1. Nah. Too sophisticated... You think Trump knows what fjords are?

His random capitalization tends to be entire words, not merely "Action" and that would include capitalizing entire words in entire phrases. Likewise, he doesn't say "God Bless America" nor do I recall anything like "My Fellow Americans." He usually just launches into it and frequently with either a grievance or accusation or insult/slur toward someone, group, or entity.

But, yes. His posts would be readily faked by those who have followed him long enough. I'd bet far better than AI at this juncture.

2. I'll bet I could fine-tune the request and get better results.

I only used basic ChatGPT (I don't want a subscription to the fancy version, it only encourages it) and made the request very simple. My guess is that they get AI to write this stuff with more specific instructions and then Trumpify it further. Has he been seen in public yet today?

[hlthe2b]

3. Not seen since yesterday morning, I think...

I'm sure he is watching the backlash to "his" Truth Social post with glee.

[Ocelot II]

4. Do we know for sure that he isn't dead?

[hlthe2b]

5. As much as this WH lies, I don't know that we can be sure of anything..

[Swede]

6. That's what those lefties in Norway call Fords.

[IronLionZion]

10. He probably thinks Fjords are big trucks

[Ms. Toad]

7. The sentences are way too short. n/t

[peppertree]

9. ...and where's the 'Thank you for your attention to this matter' ?

The pig no doubt kept getting that from the lawyers of the people he screwed, and of course the IRS - and it stuck.

[IronLionZion]

8. Wait until he finds out Norway has oil

and they use the proceeds to invest in their social programs to help future Norwegians who have not yet been born. Then he will have to invade them to defeat socialism.

11. i don't think it's a good imitation

beginning with the first three words: my fellow americans.

the sign off on it isn't trump similar either. imo

btw, i googled which presidents used the phrase "my fellow americans" and this is what the google AI overview said:

"My fellow Americans" has been a popular presidential phrase for over a century, famously used by presidents including Franklin D. Roosevelt (notably in 1933), John F. Kennedy ("ask not...&quot , Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. While FDR is considered the first to use it in an inaugural address, Theodore Roosevelt used it in speeches as early as 1903.

Key Presidents Who Used the Phrase
Theodore Roosevelt: Used in various speeches in 1903.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Used in his first inaugural address in 1933.
Harry S. Truman: Used in his farewell address.
Dwight D. Eisenhower: Used in his farewell address.
John F. Kennedy: Famous for its use in his 1961 inaugural address ("My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you...&quot .
Lyndon B. Johnson: Used in five of his six State of the Union addresses.
Richard Nixon: Famously used the phrase to address the "silent majority" in 1969.
Ronald Reagan: Often used it in addresses to the nation.
Bill Clinton: Used in his 1993 inaugural address.

Origin and Usage Details
Before the Phrase: Historically, presidents often opened speeches with "fellow citizens" or "my fellow countrymen".

Popularization: The phrase grew in usage with radio and television, allowing presidents to speak directly to the public.

Alternative Uses: It has been used to address Congress, the public during crises, and in radio addresses, becoming a standard rhetorical device to foster national unity.

trump isn't on the list

12. With a still-simple but more specific request I got this:

"WE have WON the War against Iran — TOTAL VICTORY! Nobody thought it could be done, but YOUR Favorite President did it with STRENGTH and SMART Power. The Generals, the Military, the GREAT American Spirit — all INCREDIBLE! Joe Biden said it couldn’t happen, WRONG again! And Hillary Clinton — she wanted this for YEARS and FAILED! America is SAFE, the World RESPECTS us again, and we are STRONGER than ever before. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I still think the minions have fiddled with AI enough that it's producing most of Trump's emissions.

13. Trump would have spelled it "Fords"

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Jack Valentino]

14. Needed MORE CAPS! and Trump wouldn't be able to SPELL "fjords" much less heard of them.

The minions would have to write a first draft, and then DUMB AND DEMENT it down!
