It’s a scene that could hardly be more absurd: Donald Trump playing the piano with virtuoso flair, then grabbing an electric guitar as if he were Jimi Hendrix himself, performing a piece of music that sways somewhere between stadium rock and a parody drenched in pathos. The whole thing—not a fever dream, but a video generated by Trump’s social media team using artificial intelligence. And, of course, it was posted on his own page.
What remains is a video that is equally fascinating and disturbing. Not because it’s particularly well made—rather, because it presents madness in its purest form. The AI animates a Trump who seriously tries to come across as a rockstar. But instead of coolness, it creates cringe. Instead of charisma: cartoon. And instead of self-irony: self-adoration in pixel form.
“Is this still PR—or already political satire?” That’s the question not only the internet is asking. Whoever thought this was a good idea either has a peculiar sense of humor—or absolutely no feel for public humiliation.
