Trump Says Iran Talks Continue as He Recounts Hostage Efforts
Trump used Truth Social to attack media outlets, rally around Texas Republican Senate hopeful Ken Paxton, and mark the anniversary of Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel, while also weighing in on Iran's nuclear talks and backing Michigan GOP nominee Mike Rogers. The posts mixed campaign combat, foreign-policy signaling, and grievance politics in a day of sharp-edged messaging. He also took aim at the White House's language around artificial intelligence and repeated a broadside against The New York Times.
Media and AI Messaging Attacks
MediaTrump attacked The New York Times over what he called a doctored photo of his Doral property and accused the paper of dishonesty. He also mocked the term "Artificial Intelligence," saying the White House prefers the phrase "Super Intelligence," and amplified a post targeting Annie Andrews with a linked video.
This set of posts shows Trump continuing to fuse media criticism with culture-war language and personalized insult. The New York Times attack fits a long-running effort to cast mainstream outlets as malicious actors rather than neutral critics, while the AI comment turns a technical policy term into a loyalty test and branding exercise. Together, the posts are less about the underlying issues than about reinforcing his message that elites, institutions, and even official language are rigged against him and his movement.
"The New York Times DOCTORED the picture of the beautiful exterior facade of Doral"
"The White House considers anyone that uses the term, “Artificial Intelligence,” as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, “Super Intelligence,” THE ENEMY!"
