Hello, tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to sprinkle some humor on the latest political shenanigans. Buckle up!

Recently, Kamala Harris’ campaign took to social media to share a post from Donald Trump that featured his take on a live interview with Elon Musk. In this post, Trump attributed the peculiar quality of his voice during the interview to “the complexity of modern day equipment.” However, the Harris campaign decided to trim the original message, conveniently omitting the part where Trump mentioned he had released “an actual, and perfect, recording of the conversation.”

Now, why did the original interview sound so strange? That’s still a mystery! The Trump campaign didn’t provide any insights when asked about it. But by leaving out that crucial detail about the cleaner recording, Harris’ post made it look like Trump was just making excuses.

The KamalaHQ account took this opportunity to jab at Trump, tweeting about how he blamed his “confused, slur-filled disaster” on tech issues. It’s all part of a broader strategy by the Harris campaign to frame narratives favorably for themselves while casting Trump in a less flattering light.

This isn’t the first instance of clever narrative manipulation by the Harris team. Just recently, Axios reported that they purchased ads linking to news stories from reputable outlets like The Associated Press and CNN. These ads appear at the top of Google search results, but here’s the twist: while they link to real articles, the headlines and text are crafted by the campaign itself!

Google allows this kind of advertising, and it’s not new; however, Facebook nixed a similar feature back in 2017 after some questionable practices were highlighted. Interestingly enough, while Trump’s campaign has not run ads on Google Search lately, Harris’ ads have been making quite a splash.

One particularly eye-catching headline read: “VP Harris Protects Democracy – Trump Defends Jan 6 Comments.” While it’s unclear which specific article that linked to, The Independent wasn’t thrilled about it. A spokesperson expressed strong disapproval, stating it was unacceptable for anyone to place fake headlines under their brand.

Of course, Trump has had his share of grandiose and misleading statements throughout his campaign. Just recently, he claimed that Harris “A.I.’d” a crowd during one of her rallies in Michigan and even suggested that she “happened to turn Black” while pursuing higher office—a claim that overlooks her background as a graduate of Howard University with Jamaican-American heritage.

The Harris campaign seems to embrace an informal tone suited for social media, even adopting a playful aesthetic inspired by Charli XCX’s music. This raises intriguing questions about how information is presented and consumed online. Is it really different when an incomplete quote in a social media post is compared to a carefully edited soundbite in an ad? For Harris’ campaign, apparently not!

As always, the Harris campaign had no comment on these developments. Stay tuned for more tech-infused political antics!
