With AI memes, Trump promotes mythical version of himself as challenges stack up ahead of midterms – WTOP News
- Over Labor Day weekend, President Donald Trump unleashed a series of memes portraying himself as singularly powerful, including depictions as a superhero wielding Green Lantern's ring to build a wall and looming over Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- His White House has actively produced official meme messaging as part of government strategy, recently creating a 'Tetris' knockoff called 'Build the Wall,' following controversial posts depicting Trump as Jesus and inflammatory images of President Barack Obama and Michelle.
- Amid this digital campaign, drivers face gasoline averaging $4.15 a gallon, up nearly 30% from a year ago; only 33% of Americans approve of his job performance, with just 15% strongly approving of his presidency.
- Republican strategist Kevin Madden noted these posts energize the 'Make America Great Again' base, yet voters determining control of Congress 'are not going to be won over with memes,' prioritizing economic affordability instead.
- Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, faced scrutiny about his age and embraced meme-based messaging to counter it; the current administration's reliance on similar tactics contrasts sharply with voter concerns about the Iran war and economic instability.
