- Another AI-generated video features an ‘Inside Out’-esque internal monologue of Trump, presented in a LEGO-inspired style.
- These clips have been widely shared on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, where they have gained significant traction.
Media Coverage and Public Reaction
The campaign has attracted attention from major international media outlets, including The New Yorker, CNBC, and The Guardian. Critics have described the content as ‘slopaganda,’ highlighting the growing influence of AI-generated memes in shaping geopolitical narratives.
