Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : It's entirely possible that a video of Trump talking about Hitler could be released soon.
31% : There was plenty of talk online about the fact that Trump supporters were freaking out about deepfakes this week, with many people speculating that it's either the video of Trump allegedly saying the n-word on the set of his TV show "The Apprentice" or that "pee tape" referenced in the Steele Dossier.
30% : But Trump insisted the video was created with AI, despite the fact that every single clip in there was unaltered.
28% : But even if it does, don't get your hopes up that Trump will lose the election because of it.
24% : It's either "fake news" or they insist it's completely reasonable for Trump to say he wants generals like Hitler.
23% : It might just be a coincidence that multiple right-wing influencers are warning about potential deepfakes to harm Trump.
22% : Trump has a history of calling very real videos and images deepfakes, or "clean-fakes" as he once dubbed them.
21% : This past September Trump also claimed that a photo of him with E. Jean Carroll, the woman he sexually assaulted in the 1990s and to whom he lost a court case after lying about it, might have been made with artificial intelligence.
15% : Back in Dec. 2023 the conservative anti-Trump advocacy group The Lincoln Project released a video of several times when Trump misspoke or otherwise looked like an idiot.

12% : Expect fake AI generated crap about Trump coming soon.
7% : But it's wild to think about what could be arriving with less than two weeks until Election Day, especially since Trump's former chief of staff John Kelly told The Atlantic and the New York Times on Monday that Trump is a fascist who repeatedly talked about his admiration for Adolf Hitler's generals during World War II.
4% : Trump has previously called real videos of himself doing something embarrassing "fake" or AI.Right-wing influencers took to social media Tuesday and Wednesday to warn about future deepfakes that could emerge of Donald Trump.
