Trump said today: "For a long time, Iran has been seen as a master of manipulating media and public relations. They are militarily incompetent and weak, but very skilled at feeding false information to the willing fake news media. Now, artificial intelligence has become another tool for Iran to spread rumors, and they have become quite proficient at it—despite being completely defeated day by day."

"They show so-called 'suicide speedboats' attacking various ships at sea, with scenes that look exciting, powerful, and fierce, but these ships don't exist at all. All of this is fake news, aimed at showing how 'strong' their already defeated army is!"

According to false reports from media such as the Wall Street Journal, five U.S. refueling planes were hit and severely damaged. The truth is: except for one that is about to return to the skies, the rest are still in normal service.

The buildings and ships shown on video that appear to be on fire are not actually on fire—they are all fake news generated by AI.

For example, Iran closely cooperates with fake news media to publish claims that our great "Abraham Lincoln" aircraft carrier—the largest and most advanced warship in the world—is out of control and burning at sea. It is not on fire at all, and it hasn't even been hit by a single bullet or shell. Iran knows they wouldn't dare to do that!

This report is clearly false. In a way, the media organizations that produce this content should be prosecuted for treason for spreading false information!

The truth is, Iran is being completely crushed. Their only "victory" is in the battle of public opinion, fabricated by AI and spread by corrupt media.

Radical left-wing media know this well, yet they continue to fabricate false stories and lies. That's why their support rate is so low. Even if I had only 5% positive media coverage, I could win the presidential election with an overwhelming majority—because they have no credibility!

I am very happy to see that the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, is reviewing the licenses of these corrupt and extremely unpatriotic "news" institutions.

They are using billions of dollars of free public airwaves from the United States, yet they continue to spread lies in news and almost all programs, including those silly late-night shows—programs with poor ratings but high salaries, which will never be fired, just like I said in "The Apprentice." Thank you all for paying attention to this issue!"

Comment: This statement is a typical Trump-style response to public opinion:

On one hand, it portrays Iran as a country that only relies on AI to fabricate information and is militarily incapable. On the other hand, it labels Western mainstream media as "pro-Iran, traitorous, and manufacturing fake news," while packaging himself as the only one telling the truth and capable of winning the election decisively. The core purpose of Trump is to use a battle of public opinion to counterbalance the uncertainty of the battlefield, uniting support domestically and undermining Iran's propaganda efforts abroad.
