Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.

If they don't play fair, we don't have to either.

Forget the serious debate videos—his supporters aren't watching those, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. You want to make a dent? You go after the ego.

Picture this: an endless stream of totally "realistic" phone-recorded AI videos of Trump playing golf. He lines up the putt—misses. Tries again—air ball. It's literally an inch away now—misses again. Doesn’t blink, just traps it in, smirks, walks off like he nailed it. Over and over.

The key is subtlety. These can’t look staged or flashy—make them feel like someone’s nephew filmed it from the cart. Make it look like he's genuinely terrible but thinks he’s crushing it.

Then blast them everywhere. Flood the algorithm. Turn his “I’m the best at golf” schtick into a punchline.

This is how you use AI to actually take Trump down—with a thousand tiny ego papercuts.

Right now, we can empirically accuse them of lying. They cannot do the same. The minute we start doing this, we lose that advantage. Lies dilute the truth.

Fighting fire with fire isn’t always the best tactic.

They don't have to Empirically accuse anyone of lying, they just accuse. Because they're liars and have no interest in truth or accuracy.
