Trump thinks he's a genius for using the "make wildly unreasonable demands, then walk out of the room to show you're serious and frighten the other guy" technique.

That's a cartoon version of negotiation. Serious negotiators don't do this because all it does is show that you're a jackass. It doesn't frighten the other guy, because your unreasonable demands are so ridiculous that agreeing to them would be worse than whatever you're threatening them with.

Imagine going into a Chevrolet dealership and saying that you want a brand-new Corvette for $25,000. The dealer would of course say that the list price for the cheapest 2025 Corvette is $68,000, so there's no way in hell you're getting one for $25,000.

Now imagine that you respond to this by insulting him and then storming out. Would that frighten him? No, because your demand is so completely ridiculous that he cannot take you seriously.

That's what Trump keeps doing, and he thinks it's a genius negotiating strategy. And then his people try to work out more reasonable terms once he's out of the room, because everyone on both sides knows he's an idiot.

The chatbot’s responses typically draw from right-wing and pro-Trump news sources like Fox News and Newsmax, however, it did not support recent statements made by Trump.


On Friday, Mr Trump said that his tariff policy has had a “huge positive impact” on the stock market, but the AI tool responded, saying “the evidence does not support this claim”.

First reported by The Washington Post, Truth Search AI also called the US president’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen “baseless”.

When asked about a recent post by Mr Trump on Truth Social about crime in Washington, D.C., the AI bot responded that it is “not totally out of control”.


Users on social media also shared instances of the new AI bot claiming that Barack Obama is the most popular president of the century, and that the Trump family’s crypto projects pose a conflict of interest.

Watching clips on BlueSky of the police presence in Washington DC, I can’t tell if the footage is actually cut scenes from Civil War (the 2004 film directed by Alex Garland). Because it’s so similar.

It is so difficult to believe that Trump is real.

Trump is actually running the talking point now that Obama cheated in the 2016 election. It is a simple nugget to relate. It isn't what the White House organization is actually accusing him of. They are accusing him of working fraudulently to undermine the election AFTER the election. Which doesn't get you anywhere unless you build on that to put in fake electors or stop the vote certification, which Obama did NOT do. And we know Trump understands this because he undermined the 2020 election after the election and it didn't get him anywhere, because even though he TRIED fake electors and stopping the certification, he failed at that and without those it doesn't matter if people feel like the election was screwed up.

How does the man straight face say that what he has been very plainly and loudly accused of doing is cheating?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

except we already know that "states rights" was just a dog whistle and we've seen them flip the second it no longer fits their narrative.
