Trump Falsely Claims AI Manipulated Embarrassing Videos, Drawing More Attention to His Mental Lapses
• Trump falsely claimed Democrats used AI to manipulate videos showing his cognitive lapses, but the videos are real and unaltered.
• The 2024 election is the first where AI content creation has become an issue, with both parties experimenting with it.
• Trump is exploiting uncertainty around AI content to cast doubt on genuine video evidence of his own mental slip-ups.
• By making this false AI claim, Trump is drawing more attention to embarrassing videos of himself that Democrats prepared.
• Trump's strategy is self-defeating - he's lying about AI use while highlighting real videos that make him look unfit.
