Donald Trump, the former US president, appeared to be conducting a chaotic digital show on Truth Social on Sunday evening. The posts, which were primarily AI-generated, ranged from narcissistic to geopolitically significant.

Critics interpreted Trump's AI-sloppy posts as a mental health episode, possibly triggering the 25th Amendment, while others saw them as a social media and influencer machine used to drown out opponents and overwhelm conventional news coverage.
