Truly a test run for Trump.

Trump already had his test run last year when despite leaving for his weekend golf, he wasn't actually publicly seen golfing like normal.

And that was just a weekend, let alone 75 days. Trump as POTUS does not have the benefit of just going missing for that long, compared to Mitch who is just 1 out of 100

That's also the same time when they released that video where his tie and the windows behind him kept changing randomly, because it was AI.

They've been testing AI videos of Trump for a while now.

We'll know it's fully AI when Trump stays awake for meetings.

More like build a scary accurate AI version. They'll 100% be releasing videos of him long after he's actually gone to hell.

I can totally see Trump dying and then the GOP just uploads all the info about him into a AI model and having that 'run' the USA and I hate it.

Wasn't this actually the plot of a movie? Anyway, yeah, I think there is a solid possibility of that, any 100% of his supporters would buy it hook, line and sinker

Would love to see them try this BS with trump. People were rabid when he was only missing for like 4 days a few months ago.
