    The White House app was created by 45Press, a company based in Canfield, Ohio, a town of fewer than 8,000 people located roughly halfway between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. (Donald Trump was the 45th president of the United States.) The company’s website describes it as a “design, development, and DevOps agency” and a WordPress VIP Agency Partner; it lists Amazon, NBC, and Sony as past clients.

    Wat?

    Anti-AI measure?

    AI generated noise?

    Why is that random sentence in there…?

    Edit: I see now, thanks to dhork for pointing out to me the aside line is pointing out the link to the name, 45Press and Trump being the 45th president. It still is weirdly written imo but at least it makes sense.

      They are correlating the name of the company, 45Press, directly to Trump, it was quite clear to me.

        That makes zero sense to me, the sentence seems to be a total non-sequiter with respect to the text before and after it.

          I suppose they could have said something like “The ‘45’ in the company name is believed to be a reference to Trump, who was the 45th President”, but I had no problem getting their point…

            OH!

            I honestly did not understand that link there with how they wrote it initially, but that makes sense now, thank you lol.

    In a way, yes.

    Nazi scientists inflated their capability and straight up lied to Operation Paperclip to get out of Germany before the Russians got them.

    So one could say that Nazis used UFOs to escape. It’s just the UFOs were also bullshit.
