HuffPost thought Trump's new digital trading cards should be their top story giving me an excuse to contribute my own images, by Hal Brown, MSW

 

You may have read about Trump's latest narcisstic self-agrandizing delusional grift. It is of course his selling more ridiclous so-called "digital trading cards." Yesterday, just for fun, I used the free Photo AI from Perchance to make the images shown above with the request to show Trump as Humpty Dumpty.

This morning this was the top story on HUFFPOST:


Here are some more of his digital delusions:


I posted this on X:

From Trump’s Latest NFT Sale Depicts Him as Superhero, Motorcyclist, Bloomberg News

The new collection features 50 NFTs selling for $99 each, with additional “trading cards” showing Trump as a boxer, dancing and even riding a motorcycle. In one of the cards, Trump holds a ball with a Bitcoin logo in his hand, highlighting him as a crypto-friendly presidential candidate. 

Purchasers of 15 NFTs will get a physical card with a piece of the suit Trump wore to the presidential debate in June that is credited with prompting President Joe Biden to drop from the race. Trump noted in a video on his Truth Social platform that it was being called the “knock-out” suit. Those who purchase 75 NFTs will be invited to have dinner with Trump at his club in Jupiter, Florida.   

I thought that rather than actually write something hopefully original about politics this morning I'd let artificial intelligence to the work for me and create illustrations which Trump could more realistically use for his digitals. I've used Photo AI to make illustrations for blogs before. for example some showing like this:

Here's what came up when I asked for images of Trump as Superman in vintage comic style and then for a more realistic image:

Here's Trump as a cowboy.
Here he is as a fat cowboy:


This is how easy it is to make these images. It took me less than a minute for each set. Trump is selling them. For all I know his people are using the same program, Perchance Photo AI, as I do. You can pay for such programs but this suits my needs.

These are the six images for Trump as a biker in cinematic style.


Of course this is how Trump wants to see himself and how he wants members of his deluded cult to see him. I thought how the genie inside the AI machine could help make some that actaully depicted him the way I want to see him. Here are some of the better images.


How about one showing him dancing on Fifth Avenue:
This came up asking for fat Trump tap dancing.
Here he is in a tutu:



How ludicrous would a digital image have to be for Trump to say it was just too over the top and begged mockery? For example, would he nix using any of these?


Here's what I got looking for images of Trump on the toilet:
This program will create explicit images. I got one by mistake so I know.

Here's one of Trump as a court jester:

Unfortunately not all images look like Trump and in order to get what I want I have to tweak my request. For example asking for one of Trump in prison in an orange jumpsuit in the first he look to physically fit so I had to ask for "fat Trump in prison in an orange jumpsuit.


This image did look more like Trump but had a blank background so I had to add my own. I think it makes a good conclusion to the blog.


Addendum:
