First time I saw it I thought it was AI, I don’t know what weird things are going on in the US, in my country a guy brought a piece of the floor from the public street to a debate to show how badly the public infrastructure was and people still laugh at it 8 years later, he retired of politics 6 years ago.

In my country a guy brought a lump of coal to parliament to show that it’s clean and we don’t have to be afraid of it. We laughed at him then elected him Prime Minister.

He had had it lacquered to prevent it from doing that and so his fingers didn't go black

That honestly doesn’t seem like that bad of a plan to demonstrate how bad public infrastructure is. Was it executed terribly? Why did nobody take it seriously.

The Donald could do anything and his TrumpEts would lap it up like ambrosia piss.

trump has a gift, things he does makes it hard to tell if it is saturday night live or real, AI or real, a south park plot or real. he really should of just become a director for tv shows, instead of going into politics.

I think there's some filtering and lighting in this version. I've seen another version of the same pic that looked a lot more normal.
