“I think Donald Trump thinks every day ‘how can I annoy the left?’ And every day, they rise to the bait. Awesome” – The top comment on the Fox News article “White House celebrates ‘Star Wars Day’ with AI image of muscular Trump wielding a lightsaber,” posted Sunday, the fanboy who wrote it going with the tried-and-true “He’s trolling you soytards” line to reaffirm support because that’s easier than arguing convincingly that he’s owning the libs by demonstrably making serious progress on lowering gas and grocery prices for all Americans. Deprived of that, they’re forced to work with what they’ve got: An AI image of Trump holding a lightsaber, tweeted by the White House’s account.
In honor of Star Wars Day, the White House posted an AI picture of President Trump holding a red lightsaber while wearing a Jedi robe and donning a ripped physique. https://t.co/lmEoU6YQYq

The article itself is pretty funny in that the headline admits upfront that the flabby fuck’s ripped biceps are as real as the red lightsaber he wields in the pic. The Fox News keyboard jockey who slapped it together himself seems well aware of that and could be subtly engaging in something akin to “malicious compliance” with the propaganda network’s editorial directives, writing that in the replies to the post a Twitter user “asked X’s AI feature Grok what the meaning of a red lightsaber is in Star Wars. Those who follow the science fiction franchise will remember Darth Vader, Kylo Ren and others associated with the dark side or Sith powers used a red lightsaber of some sort.”
“The Star Wars fandom website Wookieepedia explains that in the process of making a lightsaber, negative emotions like rage, hate, fear and pain would result in a red hue,” the article continued before going into some copypasta from the other replies to the tweet and finally arriving at one apparently “conclusive” opinion on the matter: “People arguing Trump using a red lightsaber equates him to evil… Red is literally one of the three colors in our nation’s flag… He is the leader of the Republican Party which is often ascribed the color Red. Context matters.” Lol at “context.”
But yeah, it’s only the libs that “rise to the bait” in these highly fraught situations.
