‘Dark, Bizarre Stuff’: White House Posts Deepfake Image of Arrested ICE Protester Crying: “All of us are on full notice that this White House feels no compunction about concocting obvious lies, concedes nothing when its lies are exposed, and should be presumptively disbelieved in all matters.”

I never knew just how many fake images have been posted and shared via the White House’s social media accounts! Some are shown in this article…..
Also, ironically and technically EVERYTHING Trump and
his administration is doing is VERY: UN-MAGA! Because
how does this (or anything he does) make America great, again??!!
Snippet:
>Asked for comment, Dale (from CNN) said the White House directed him to a social media [post](https://x.com/Kaelan47/status/2014410500096856358) by Kaelan Dorr, the White House deputy communications director, who wrote: “Enforcement of the law will continue. **The memes will continue.”**
>Posting artificially generated images of their targets sobbing has become a house style of sorts for the White House account.
This is STRAIGHT OUT OF THE RUSSIAN PLAYBOOK.
Might as well just call the White House the Kremlin 2.0
It used be true that “Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see”. but now its more like “Just assume their full of it, and the opposite actually happened”
Yet, still, even through ALL of the OBVIOUS lies, day-after-day-after-day, Congress won’t act.
Normalizing the weaponization of AI.
They went to the Goebbels school of comms.
As anyone who is even slightly aware of what goes on around them can tell you, Trump has acted like this his entire life.
This is porn to these people. They’re ghouls.
And when she sues, the taxpayer is on the line. There are literally no consequences for this administration.
A couple years ago you’d have been called crazy for insinuating a then potential 2nd Trump would do something like this
When even this reality isn’t evil enough for them, so they make up fake effects of evil
This is so weird. She was already being arrested, but you have to edit her crying, for what? Because it makes you feel like big men? To get your rocks off? Fucking sick people.
Isn’t this a prime example of Fake News?
It sounds to me that the KKK Act should apply to ICE.
Fun fact: you can be sued if you post and share altered images of a person. They just have to prove damages like any other defamation case.
Gosh, it’s like what Harris said would happen.
Who could EVER have known that Trump would create shambles of our democratic republic?
(… other than every single person of the 75 million that voted for her)
They are disgusting, pathological racists. That’s how they WANTED her to feel and HOPED she would react and when she didn’t, they made this fake image to share to excite their equally disgusting, pathological, and racist supporters.
That’s how they hope ALL of us will feel when they lead us off to the concentration camps. They ENJOY this, they think an image like that is GOOD.
Utterly foul and irredeemable. I am not into othering, I don’t like to dehumanize people. But they are openly operating in such a way that it’s not that I’m dehumanizing THEM, they are dehumanizing THEMSELVES, by behaving in inhumane and utterly depraved ways. They can’t even publish a PICTURE of a black woman without adding their own sick fantasies onto it.
I have no more qualms about saying that every MAGA supporter is literally evil. They’re out of ways for me to understand them as anything else.
THIS is the real danger of AI. The manipulation of reality itself.
Soon, nothing will matter because no one will believe anything because there’s a realistic possibility that it’s fake. You can’t build a functioning society on that kind of foundation.
I’d love for the Press to just not bother showing up for Leavitt’s briefings, to just ignore her and any other formerly legitimate federal sources. Why bother propagating their lies? Just report observed and verifiable facts.
We can get the lies direct from social media if we’re hungry for entertainment, we don’t need to give them a bigger megaphone.
This is good for defense. They set a public precedent that the white house does and will lie about the evidence they present in court. I’m sure a good lawyer and a judge not on Trump’s payroll will be happy to start taking advantage of that as they continue to toss out even more cases by the DoJ
For a government to be so openly dishonest is utterly shameful. I just hope that all thoughs MRGA idiots finally understand that they havent drained the swamp they have filled it to the top. They have elected a authoritarian regime.
The use of a human in despair as a form of entertainment is beyond the pale, AI or not.
What do we do now when pur government out right lies to us and calls it a joke? How are we to proceed if our leaders dont care about us?
Obviously people getting disappeared and shot in the face is way worse than this, but this one somehow seems so much more unsettling in ways I can’t put into words.
The thing that is so striking is how happily the WHITE HOUSE punches down. I mean it’s the same for Trump and all, but they all see people who have no power and go for them, attack them, without any remorse. It’s so disgusting.
I look forward to the day I can make use of the Donald J Trump Memorial Urinal.
Clearly this administration is not government of the people, by the people, for the people. It is an administration against the people.
It’s even more sinister when you realize they also arrested a white male who was part of the church protest, and they didn’t manipulate his photo at all. It’s almost like they felt the urge to use AI to doctor the photo of the back woman to make her appear more emotional for some reason.
