Can\u2019t you just get an intern to run your social media campaign?&#8221; another commented.Trump has previously faced backlash over controversial social media posts, including AI-generated videos mocking marginalised groups and an image depicting himself as Jesus Christ, which he later deleted following criticism from religious groups.The president and his administration have frequently used AI-generated memes as part of a strategy described as &#8220;memetic warfare&#8221; by Kurt Sengul, a researcher at Australia&#8217;s Macquarie University.Speaking to Euronews last year, Sengul said this use of memes and generative AI creates an environment in which nothing appears to be taken seriously.According to him, Trump&#8217;s approach suggests that anyone offended by such content is simply &#8220;humourless and can&#8217;t take a joke.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/14\/trump-faces-backlash-after-posting-sick-video-of-uk-man-killed-by-tiger&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/95\/14\/18\/1200x675_cmsv2_803d079a-7e73-5986-9403-ced9183f52bc-9951418.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Over 6,800 detained as French school protests show no sign of ending Europe News Le Pen slams the European Commission as she lands in Brussels Europe News Meloni says Trump\u2019s &#8216;risky&#8217; Russian diesel deal legitimises Moscow Europe News 94-year-old faces losing her home of 60 years as rent nearly triples [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2198925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2198925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198925\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2198925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2198925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2198925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
