Mirror: Trump sparks outrage with AI image of himself as Pope weeks after Francis’ death

In a move that has sparked an online outrage, President Donald Trump posted an AI-rendered image of himself dressed as the Pope on social media, coming less than a week after he attended Pope Francis’s funeral.

Followers expressed their anger over the image, which Trump shared on Truth Social and Instagram. The picture was also shared by the official White House account on X. Some labeled the post as downright disrespectful.

Presumptuous *ssh*l*!!!

No, J.D. Dunce, this is just wrong, wrong, wrong! Mocking such a beloved person who just passed away is as tasteless and classless as you can.

US Mirror: Elon Musk ‘rattled’ as he’s brutally trolled during gaming livestream from his private jet

Elon Musk was told he ‘will die alone’ as the Tesla CEO was brutally mocked during a gaming livestream aboard his private jet before he suddenly quit after his character was repeatedly killed

Another one of Elon Musk’s attempts to prove that he is good at gaming spectacularly backfired on him as the Tesla CEO was ruthlessly trolled during a livestream from his private jet before suddenly quitting the game.

Musk went live on X on Saturday, showing himself playing Path of Exile 2 aboard his private jet in what he called an “airborne continuity test” of his satellite internet service Starlink. But shortly after the livestream started, the tech billionaire became inundated with messages from other players in the game’s chat as they brutally mocked him.

“You have no real friends and will die alone,” one message said. “You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages,” another player wrote.

“Elon how is it possible to look this dumb and ugly why is ur Tesla company falling apart,” one gamer commented. Another even pretended to be Ashley St Clair, the MAGA influencer who claimed in February that Musk had fathered her child.

“Elon. It’s me, Ashley St Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access just for this. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” a message that popped up continuously read. “Anyone spamming the chat will get uhhh,” Musk said as he spotted the trolling and clicked an ignore button on some of the messages.

One player told the Space X founder that his estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, “was right” in reference to her recent claims about Musk’s poor gaming skills. During a rare interview with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker last month, Vivian said her dad is “god awful” at gaming.

Awwwww … Poor F’Elon can dish it out but can’t take it.

Irish Star: True meaning behind [Bimbo #1] Karoline Leavitt’s nickname as White House press secretary clashes with reporters

[Bimbo #1] Karoline Leavitt has been living up to a new nickname she was given following her first White House press briefing as she’s accused of making a disgraceful attempt to spin the Trump administration’s Signal group chat scandal.

The White House press secretary – who recently showed off what a day in her life looks like – was first dubbed the “spinmeister” by CNN back in January as she was accused of spinning information about a pause on federal grants and loans when she said payments for Social Security, Medicare and food stamps would not be affected but didn’t say what would happen to nonprofit programs like Meals on Wheels.

“It’s a classic spinmeister tactic saying I answered that when you haven’t answered it and apparently can’t answer it right away,” CNN’s fact-checker Daniel Dale said.

But the 27-year-old’s latest spin attempt has backfired as she now appears to have made a spectacular U-turn after critics accused her of lying. After The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Signal messaging app group in which top government officials discussed plans for strikes in Yemen, Leavitt attempted to change the narrative.

During a fiery White House briefing on Wednesday the press secretary told reporters: “If this story proves anything, it proves that Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media know how to fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well.”

She called Goldberg’s piece a “sensationalized story from the failing Atlantic magazine” while attempting to smear the reporter and doubling down on claims that no classified information was leaked.

Leavitt snapped at CNN’s Kaitlin Collins when asked about the ongoing scandal before abruptly cutting the volatile press conference short.

Head in the sand often?
