Trump's casual deployment of obviously fake AI images on Truth Social shows that visual credibility no longer gatekeeps political messaging. His audience accepts low-fidelity synthetic content as legitimate communication rather than disqualifying evidence of dishonesty. Authenticity has become optional. The distinction between satire and sincerity that once anchored political discourse has collapsed. Voters in his base can tell the difference between real and fake images. They've simply stopped treating that difference as relevant to their consumption choices.
