The Trump administration will never admit this, but the biggest reason that Trump is a fan of AI is because of how easily AI can conjure up images that make Donald Trump look great.
The image you're looking at now of Trump as Superman was posted by him last summer, but it's been just one of many, many AI images in which Trump looks better than anyone else.
Just a few weeks back, we had of course Donald Trump as Jesus, excuse me, I mean Donald Trump as a doctor healing a patient while people around him pray and there is a strange creature in the background at the top.
But again, it makes Donald Trump look better than others.
The Trump administration is moving to close what it describes as a loophole that allows migrants to remain in the United States while awaiting permanent residency. On Friday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced new guidance directing immigration officers to treat the transition from temporary nonimmigrant status to permanent immigrant status under Section 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as a process that should generally take place outside the United States, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller. (RELATED: An Incredible Share Of Migrant Households Use Welfare, Study Finds) Under the guidance, individuals seeking lawful permanent residency would typically be required to return to their home country, complete screening procedures and obtain an immigrant visa through the U.S. Department of State before reentering the U.S. as immigrants.
Attorneys heard a stunning mea culpa from the U.S. Attorney's Office of Northern Illinois after prosecutors dropped all charges against the so-called "Broadview Six" immigration protesters. The reason? Prosecutors admit they made significant mistakes. However, attorneys for the defendants in the case claim these 'errors' were not mistakes at all, but rather intentional misconduct on the part of prosecutors in order to tip the scales to get an indictment. The even say the alleged cover up might be even worse, and now a judge says prosecutors might even face sanctions. "Today, we have won in court, and we will continue to stand up against injustice," said Oak Park village trustee Brian straw, who was charged as part of the case along with five others. Straw, former Congressional candidate Kat Abugazalah and four others were indicted after allegedly blocking federal vehicles outside the Broadview ICE facility in September 2025.
The unconstitutional US war against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel has not only killed at least 3,636 people, but has become an environmental disaster in the Middle East, as well as an economic catastrophe for the West. The unlawful aggression has produced emissions equivalent to a year of Iceland's carbon output-- more than 5m tons of CO2 generated in just the first two weeks of the war-- and the IMF warns that a recession will soon engulf Europe if US and Israeli hostilities against Iran continues.
The War Against Iran is Costing the Israeli Taxpayer Far Less than the American Taxpayer

You probably wouldn't say it to its face, but the famously fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex has long been the butt of tiny arm jokes. But new research could explain their hilarious hands, though it offers no guarantee it will stifle the giggles.
You may have seen people on TikTok or Instagram talk about a sleep hack called "sun gating." It's a simple concept:
Go outside soon after you wake up and let the morning sunlight hit your eyes, without looking directly at the sun.
While the name may be new, the science behind it isn't. Health experts have studied how morning sunlight exposure affects your body for years.
It turns out that getting bright, natural light early in the day can help reset your internal clock (called your circadian rhythm) which plays an important role in how well you sleep and how you feel during the day.
AS AN EBOLA outbreak rages in central and East Africa, public health workers say that the response has been stymied by the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid and global health organizations. "We are no longer able to get some supplies," Amadou Bocoum, Democratic Republic of Congo country director for the anti-poverty nonprofit CARE, tells WIRED. "Because of that, we are not able to react immediately." WIRED spoke to more than half a dozen global health experts who described how the Trump administration's move to shutter the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), amid other funding cuts, has created a strained, increasingly fragmented disease prevention and response system in the lead up to this Ebola outbreak, one in which a severely reduced workforce already struggles with burnout.

Take Trump's $1.8 billion shakedown of the IRS. This will provide compensation payments to Trump allies who say that the Biden administration unfairly weaponized the Justice Department against them. Who these individuals actually are, however, is left unclear. Will Jan. 6 rioters receive payments? Then there's the insider-trading epidemic and Trump's pattern of buying stocks in companies that subsequently benefit from his own policy decisions.
