The 80-year-old commander in chief spent more than 10 hours on Sunday posting dozens of apparently AI-generated images on his social media platform. The posts included a depiction of Iran’s defeat, Trump on horseback with George Washington, and an apparently AI-generated image of Robert De Niro holding a shirt that read, “Trump is my president.”

One AI image appears to show the president sitting in front of several monitors in the White House tracking the stock market with a caption that reads: “I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do!”

    He started with $27T and ended up with 36T by the end of his term.

    A lot of that was COVID spending. COVID did a lot of damage to the economy and the extra spending was meant to stabilize things.

    Also, the buying power of the dollar has fallen 20% since 2020.

    OFC in Trump’s first term, he took a 19T debt and made it $27T.

    $500-$700 billion of the $1.6 T social security surplus collected every year went to defense spending instead, which created a deficit that has been continuously ballooning in order to finance a bloated military state. The program was in a surplus prior to this, and would’ve been viable for many years to come without continuously growing the national debt.

    The military spending needs to go. No more than $100 billion for a small homeland defense force. End all foreign wars, close down overseas military bases and end all foreign intervention. We are hurling toward bankruptcy and economic collapse because the rich keep making money off war.
