Hallucinating the best, most perfect phone calls.
Are we sure Trump isn’t an LLM?
Jesus Lord above don’t give them ideas. A trump LLM would fit perfectly with his bullshit scam phones.
That’s probably the idea with the big beautiful bill and AI shit - make an AI version of King Trump to allow his glorious rule to continue after he dies.
He has used AI generated reports a few times already.
There’s a money making opportunity for someone unscrupulous right there.
His misfiring neurons are kind of like that, yeah.
Bigly Language Model, maybe?
He certainly is large.
It doesn’t need to be AI. I could probably programme a random sentence generator that sounds exactly like him in an hour.
even the worst trained llm is more coherent
they are incredible phone calls, we have the best phone calls in the world. nobody phone calls like we do
We had the best phone calls, it’s true. They were really great. So great. Everybody is saying it - I’m not saying it, everybody here is saying it. But I said it when I made the call, I said, “What a great call”, it really was. We had a horrible administration that couldn’t make any deals, just horrible, they were the worst. The Biden crime family couldn’t make the deals I make, you wouldn’t believe, it’s true. This guy knows it, right?
Maybe they’re just putting someone on with a fake accent to keep him busy and he really believes it.
I don’t doubt any of these points but it’d be better to bring the receipts:
- China deal: https://www.reuters.com/world/chinas-foreign-ministry-says-xi-trump-did-not-have-call-recently-2025-04-28/
- India Pakistan cease fire: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/india-will-not-accept-third-party-mediation-relations-with-pakistan-modi-tells-2025-06-18/
- Phone call to Newsom: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/10/trump-gavin-newsom-call-protests-los-angeles-law-enforcement
- Iran call: couldn’t find a reliable news source about this in the past two weeks
The phone in question:
Trump is what happens when you start believing your own propaganda, and think you can order leaders of sovereign countries around because you’re “the leader of the free world”.
Correction, we “were” the leader of the free world
Who’s the leader now?
I dunno, we could vote for it I guess…
How do you misspell “Newsom” on literally the next line?
Have you ever tried to spell Gnusum correctly, spaysnudel?
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as sum, is in fact, GNU/sum, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus sum.
holy hell!
This is peak Lemmy.
It was just something new.
Well, he never did let a little thing like the truth stop him and it’s not like his voter base hears news from anyone but him.
And yet, everytime he claims something, some stupid shit head believes it.
I jokingly said, “Man, I’m loving this $1.98 gas” at work, and some fuck face agreed with a, “Ain’t it nice”.
Gas is at least $2.74 in a sixty mile radius around my town.
That’s some of the cheapest gasoline in the world… I would be careful complaining about it.
You know, honestly, he could score a win if he used real had prices. 2.70 here ain’t bad and some places have 2.49.
If he legit said, hey, gas prices are floating around $2.50, he could score points. But no, dummy had to exaggerate it to a redonk price.
I got gasoline for $2.36 the other day
$5.10
L that sucks
Just did the conversation. UK is roughly $7.50 per gallon (£1.42/liter). I’ve seen it up near $10 in some places.
I would gladly pay $15 a gallon if we got walkable cities and functional public transportation in exchange for it
Oh, they are working on fixing that. Our public transport was “privatised” a few decades back. It’s a shadow of what it used to be. A few places have improved, but it’s often local efforts.
Walkability is a godsend however. Interestingly, Milton Keynes proves you can have the best of both worlds. It has a robust road network. However, the red routes mean you can get most places with minimal road crossings. Either on food, bike, or e-scooter.
2.74 USD / gal. is equivalent to 0.99 CAD / L
Anything below 1.50 CAD / L is considered cheap where I live. I’m jealous of your gas prices
I remember the first time i saw gas hit $1.00 CAD/L decades ago and never seen it below since.
Dropped to 65ish cents during the first few months of covid when the highways were empty, that was wild. Soared back up not too long afterwards
Either that didn’t happen in BC where I’m at, or I didn’t pass a gas station to notice while isolating, but that is wild.
This would have been in southern Ontario, GTA region
I’m starting to think someone is just prank calling him.
Maybe they forgot to feed him? Give him a taco.
that’d be cannibalism
Make cannibalism great again!
“I never drink or do drugs.”
Alcohol and Drugs: “Uhhh… no comment.”
Is TACO an abbreviation or the food?
Taco’s did nothing to deserve being associated with that prick.“Trump always chickens out”.
Seems a bit soft, surely we can come up with something better?
Maybe CUNT : Consistently Undermines National Trust?Or what about TAINT : Trump’s An Inbred Nazi Tribalist
I get what you are saying, but also it’s much more difficult to park a Cunt or Taint van in front of the white house than a Taco one.
It’s the news-safe words that get published. FUCKFACE Trump doesn’t get headlines.
But Weird Republicans and Taco Don do, and they get under his skin.
TACO was specifically something that came about because of him repeatedly caving in on tariffs. I think someone in the media eventually said Trump Always Chickens Out and they ran with it.
I believe it was the financial sector that came up with it. They can predict how the market reacts since they know he will cave later.
Taco is also fantasy sports slang for a random idiot that never seems to get punished for their awful decisions. From a character on The League.
Wait, what?! I thought the ceasefire between Pakistan and India had actually been negotiated by the Trump administration!
Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.
As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore.
I would also point out that there’s been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.
And just like we’ve seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don’t gaf.
They get no engagement though. Social media’s dumped fact checking, which means most won’t see it.
The whole reason we’re on the precipice of war is because Taco woke up saw Israeli strikes called genius on Fox news and he wanted to bask in that praise so he started suggesting he had something to do with it. It’s absolute lunacy.
The world is led by fox news 😵💫
I think the only real deal he’s ever made is with Baalzebub.
I could easily see him doing a deal similar to the one in “The fall of the house of Usher”
You don’t pay the price. Your children do.
Yeah, that kind of thing is not uncommon in dementia patients. My friend’s mom was telling us all about her lunch with Rob Lowe a while back. Of course she is in memory care, not the Oval Office.
Is he confusing his daydreams/dreams for reality? that ain’t a good sign
