The campaign should make a totally over-the-top AI video of Trump in a chicken suit running away from CNN HQ (or Taylor Swift in the US Flag outfit she was wearing in the bogus Trump AI endorsement). Make it totally clear that it is a fake AI stunt, yet spam it to all the social media anyway. Throw in Vance lounging on a La-z-boy for good measure.
