The aim of this latest portrait, however, seems to be to fuse a classic form of presidential representation with the memeified version of himself that Trump has become: memes turning into ‹reality› (as in ‹reality television›), in the form of fascist branding distributed by the official White House channels. That might actually be the one thing Trump understands about both meme culture and AI image generation: it's all about brand recognition. Trump is a perfect AI meme because he's already so pervasive in digital visual culture. In a way, he's been working for decades to be a major factor in every training dataset.
