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.

"Bjorn Lomborg is a highly polarizing figure, and his credibility is a subject of intense debate among scientists, economists, and policymakers.

Cambridge University Press & Assessment

While he holds a PhD in political science and is known for his work in statistics, the mainstream scientific and academic communities broadly view him as lacking credibility on environmental and climate science. Critiques of his work typically fall into several distinct areas:

Scientific Consensus vs. Cherry-Picking:

Scientists frequently criticize Lomborg for "cherry-picking" data, using outdated economic models, and misinterpreting or misrepresenting the conclusions of the very researchers he cites. Organizations like Climate Feedback frequently evaluate and challenge his claims.

Lack of Domain Expertise:

Lomborg is not a climate scientist. Most of his writing appears in op-eds in right-leaning publications that do not undergo rigorous scientific peer review, rather than in peer-reviewed environmental or climatology journals.

Controversial History with Integrity:

In 2003, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD) concluded that his first book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, was scientifically dishonest due to systematic misinterpretation of data, though this ruling was later overturned by the Danish Ministry of Science on procedural grounds.

Environmental economists and institutions"such as the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment"heavily criticize his economic calculations, stating that they drastically underestimate the potential damages of unmitigated global warming.

Therefore, mainstream climate experts generally do not consider him a credible source on the topic.

Collapsing Trump Surrenders As Cryin' Lindsey Says He Lost

At 5 mins in, Ms Lindsey mourns Israel's loss as Trump surrenders.

OK, he mourns the loss of Israel's financing him since he couldn't sway Drumpf.

I'm afraid that Purists rarely ever win.

And unilateral disarming is usually a bad idea. He took some money a couple of years ago, but isn't taking it now.

"When questioned about the contribution, Talarico's team defended it by arguing that he will not "unilaterally disarm" while Republicans play by different rules.

His team also noted that he has consistently pushed for campaign finance reform legislation to cap state contributions at, which would have prevented massive donations like the one from the Texas Sands PAC."

"James Talarico does not accept money directly from AIPAC and has explicitly disavowed their support.

While his campaign does not accept corporate PAC money, he has faced criticism for accepting maximum donations from billionaire GOP donors and independent-expenditure PACs."

AIPAC: Talarico has continuously pledged not to accept money from AIPAC or its PACs. Campaign records confirm no such direct contributions, although a very small percentage of his massive grassroots funding has come from individuals who also support pro-Israel organizations.

Corporate PACs: Talarico runs on a grassroots platform and does not accept corporate PAC money.
