President Donald Trump accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of using artificial intelligence to produce fake images and videos purporting to show their successful attacks against U.S forces and make themselves look more powerful than they are. In a long Sunday evening post, he said that too many here at home are falling for the high-tech lies:
“Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations,” the president wrote. “They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at ‘feeding’ the very appreciative Fake News Media false information.”
He harkened back to a story he had posted about earlier Sunday, refuting claims that the New York Times and other “corrupt media outlets” pushed: that five U.S. planes had been destroyed at an airport in Saudi Arabia:
Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies.

No, the Abraham Lincoln is not and has not been on fire, he said:
Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that!
Iran makes stuff like this extremely unconvincing threat:

Trump continued to blast the media, saying they knowingly publish false information.
The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility!
He also praised his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman, Brendan Carr, for putting the dishonest press on notice earlier Sunday:

It’s clear the mainstream media’s effort to discredit this president is alive and well, and if they get a few facts along the way wrong, they don’t really care.
Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
