President Donald Trump was once again fact-checked following an embarrassing tantrum over a Canadian advertisement.
The ad quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan from 38 years ago criticizing tariffs – a policy tool Trump frequently employs. The commercial includes audio clips from an April 25, 1987 radio address where Reagan stated: "Over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.‘’
“It was AI or something” is becoming mainstream idiot for “it was edited”
“someone hacked my account”
I’ve seen it applied to quite a few crude Photoshops already.
Donal Trump posting AI videos on a daily basis: this is real
Humiliation requires a sense of shame. Which does not exist in Trump’s world.
Yeah he’s just angry they aren’t bending the knee. This isn’t shame. He can’t feel shame.
Having humility is a prerequisite for being humiliated.
I dont think thats true, pride is required, humility is a (possoble) result.
Does he actually get humiliated? Is he even capable of shame? He’s a Chester the molester for god sakes
It is impossible to feel shame, when you’re never wrong in your own mind. I would know, I was raised by narcissists.
This is what dictators often do; Claim something regardless of it being easy to fact check. Their following eats it up regardless of the truth. The only thing he can’t do is remain silent. His following just needs something they can blindly follow. He could have said “Madonna went back into the past and made a Reagan hologram out of 2 spoons and a piece of paper” and that would be the truth and they’ll fight to protect it. Trump’s biggest enemy is common sense. Everything he does is to destroy this and present himself as the truth.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Trump humiliated by fact-check
This has never happened ever.
Yeah, but we need copium and jumping off points for online snarking
The fact checkers are clearly radical leftist antifa and they are lying /s
yes we used AI from the 80s. We pulled out a lisp machine.
From chatgpt-
Prompt: What is a very rough ballpark figure of how long it would take a Symbolics 3600 to process this request on you?
That’s a fascinating question — and quite a big gap in computing history!
Let’s estimate very roughly:
- Symbolics 3600 performance
Released around 1983.
Based on a 10 MHz 68000-series CPU with extensive microcode for Lisp operations.
Effective performance: roughly 1 MIPS (1 million instructions per second), though Lisp code was often slower due to dynamic typing and garbage collection.
Floating-point and memory bandwidth were also very limited — on the order of kilobytes per microsecond.
- This request
Let’s say your request (this chat exchange) takes me — a large language model with billions of parameters — maybe a few hundred billion floating-point operations (FLOPs) to process. For perspective, a modern GPU (like an NVIDIA A100) can do around 10¹⁵ FLOPs per second (1 petaFLOP) for AI workloads.
- Comparison
If we very loosely assume:
Symbolics 3600: ~1 MFLOP (10⁶ FLOPs/sec, being generous)
Modern GPU: ~10¹⁵ FLOPs/sec
That’s a factor of 10⁹ difference.
So if a modern GPU takes about 0.1 s to process your request, then the Symbolics 3600 would take:
0.1 s × 10⁹ = 10⁸ s ≈ 3 years
And that’s if it could even hold the model in memory, which it couldn’t — it had only a few megabytes of RAM, versus the hundreds of gigabytes (or terabytes) needed.

Shall we play a game?
No he was not “humiliated” and we should be writing these rags hateful, scathing letters holding them accountable for contributing to this atomized worldview that is literally wrecking our whole society. There is no content in this article, it’s 90% ads all over the page, it’s just the same material reported in other news sites, but with a more sensational headline.
I don’t care that clickbait gets better views, I don’t care that they make more money. We are letting them get away with fabricating entire universes for select segments of populations.
People read shit like this and get all sweaty and satisfied and pump their fists and say “YEsss! Another victory! These clowns are going to crumble ANY DAY NOW!”
As they continue to celebrate living like royalty and bandits, taking food from children, blowing up innocent humans, shitting on the country and facing zero consequences. Articles like this are part of the downfall of democracy.
Look at the upvotes on this one. Embarrassing that so many lemmings jumped on this.
Let me spell it out y’all: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is not capable of being wrong, let alone humiliated. He doesn’t give two flying fucks what anyone says or thinks, to him, the ad was faked. End of story. He is not able to believe otherwise.
Yes, Trump doesn’t give a shit – and people get all hot and bothered thinking they can assassinate him with words
I dunno, huck an old, unabridged dictionary at him hard enough, and he’d probably go down.
You would have to bring that in to the White House from outside because they don’t have books in there anymore
They did just open up a big hole that you could launch it through.
No he’s not humiliated, the guy can’t be humiliated, he’s a giant narcissist. He’ll simply day the facts are wrong and he’s right and that’ll be the end of it.
Having said that, can we PLEASE start pushing journalists to stop using this clickbait language like slamming, blasting, humiliating, etc? It is so tiring.
News doesn’t need to be 100% constant in your face exciting. Give me boring news, and lots of it
I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.
I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created. The article has zero content, it just repeats the taglines content of more reputable news sites but throws it in among about 3 million ads and slaps a fantasy-world headline on it to make people think we’re winning some points against the literal most powerful people on Earth who are celebrating their victories every day.
Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.
You lost that battle in about 2004 unfortunately
Yeah I remember complaining about “slammed” on Fark back in the day. That was at least 20 years ago.
Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

He has no capacity to feel humiliated. He doesn’t care about the truth or facts. And most of his followers are the same way.
Except he does feel humiliation and I think he feels it more intense than most. I’m not a psychologist but it appears to me as one of his main motivations to do something. Because deep down he’s a deeply insecure little shit and all this strong man stuff is just a facade he puts up.
I would argue humiliation is what he fears above all else and that makes him lash out even stronger.
Definitely, he has a very fragile ego. I’m also not a psychologist and too lazy to look it up, but read smg about the two types of narcissm, vulnerable and grandiose, which have very different behaviours, but come from the same internal feeling of inferiority.
I actually worked with a client very much like him, absolutely incompetent with fragile ego, always playing powergames and trying to humiliate others. What was surprising to see is how hard it is to deal with them, they really exhausted me, and at the end I left the project looking worse than I could have with a normal person. They also openly abused everybody, peers and teammates, not just me the lowly service provider. And the results of his work was always horrendous: crunch hours, months of delays, missing features, etc. I only hear bad things about them from others, yet I always saw some people falling over themselves trying to please this horrible human being, and I couldn’t understand why.
It’s like some people are inherently drawn to these narcissists, while others are repulsed by them, and these two types don’t understand the others. I look at similar world “leaders” like Putin, Orban, or the South American chainsaw clown, and laugh at these idiots, yet millions are happily voting for them.
I get what you’re saying but this is a definition “Humiliation is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission.”
That does not sound like what Trump feels or does. He may change what he says or actions but I don’t think it’s out of humiliation. But rather a narcissistic need to be liked. He still thinks others are wrong and he doesn’t care to change to help anyone but himself. No self reflection or thought that he could be wrong.
It’s still nice to see him look so hurt when it happens and would like to see more of it. From a jail cell would be great.
He’s angry he got caught being the piece of shit that he is. To him the problem is that the truth came out
During his first term I watched him cry at a sports match because the whole stadium booed him.
I would like to see this please.
Only time I’ve seen Trump suffer humiliation was when Obama beat his ass at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Imagine being in a room with top politicians and journalists, getting hand your ass. I’d laugh, but I’m not Trump.

If you haven’t seen it, take 10-minutes to see why Trump ran for office, see how we got here.
Thanks Obama…

Canada has a pretty far right bend right now, we’d love advice on how to fix it.
I think we should stop voting in ratchet liberals. And we need NDP to run on a platform of election reform.
Huh, sounds easy. How does one person do that?

Canada is using guns to stop their far right? I think they have pretty strict gun laws.
I’d argue there are too many structural issues, all too established to ever fix. Trump is just abusing these with abandon instead of papering over them like often happened in the past.
The only hope at this point is that it’s so broken by the end that no amount of “tweaking” the current plan/formula is worth doing. Would at least be nice if the light at the end of the tunnel is that a whole new modern way of life will be possible to rebuild from the ashes. Even without trump breaking it further, the current plan wasn’t going well, long term. It’s going worse now, but in an unsustainable way. The old plan would have taken much longer to get this much worse.
will be possible to rebuild from the ashes
The problem is that the billionaires are thinking the same thing and their ideas for a "new modern way of life* are a bit different from the rest of the population.
Well, to be fair, I’m assuming a little French Revolution will be part of the current system burning down.
Copy that, build the guillotines fire proof.
Days with meaningful consequences for his actions: 0
He better watch out, one of these days he might get slammed.
He managed to do the impossible. I found myself aligned with Reagan on something.
He also liked jelly beans. So that’s two things in common I guess.
Apparently Nancy Reagan had a reputation as giving a lot of blowjobs - and I am a fan of getting my dick sucked, so that’s three things.
I appreciate that you tried to sound it out but unfortunately his name is in English so sounding it out doesn’t work :(
For context the original spelling in the post was Raygun ;)
No actually Raegan, English is fun.
Reagan*
The fact that Trump ‘accused’ anybody of using AI is a joke by itself!
