Imagine a world where the news had a bit more rizz.

Well, that could now be a reality. Because Newsweek got ChatGPT to entirely rewrite an article in Gen Alpha slang.

The Context

What is Gen Alpha slang? It’s the vernacular adopted by the youngest generation, Gen Alpha, who are born between 2010 and 2025.

Unlike regular English, which adheres to conventional grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, Gen Alpha slang is characterized by its fluidity, brevity, and heavy reliance on digital culture.

This slang often emerges from social media platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and gaming communities, where short, catchy, and visually oriented communication is essential. Using acronyms and abbreviations, Gen Alpha condenses language into simple punchy expressions and repurposes existing words with new meanings. The linguistic features of Gen Alpha slang are heavily shaped by digital culture.

The Article

Using the prompt: “Can you rewrite this news article into Gen Alpha slang please,” Newsweek ChatGPT edited a May 12 article originally titled: “Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Changes Direction.”

This is what it came back with.

Trump’s Clout Kinda Bouncing Back, Says New Poll

👀 What’s the Tea?

Looks like Trump’s vibes are… mid? A new poll (lowkey from a right-wing crew) says his approval rating’s basically 50/50 rn — bounce back era? Maybe. After taking Ls in the polls for a while, he’s finally breaking even.

🧠 Why It Hits Different

Poll numbers = public mood check. If Trump’s getting Ws in the polls, he might flex that to push his ideas harder. But if he starts flopping again, his haters (and maybe even his team) could pressure him to chill or switch it up. With the 2026 midterms coming in hot, this matters.

📊 By the Numbers

• Poll was from May 5–7, 1,000 peeps, ±3.1% error.
• 48.2% rock with Trump. 48.3%… not so much. Basically a tie.
• Voters split 50/50 on going red or blue for midterms.
• Almost half say Trump 2.0 is doing okay (🤷‍♂️).

🚨 Other polls?

• May 5: Big Data says 48% like him, 47.4% don’t. Net score = 0.6 (barely).
• April poll: Only 40% liked how he handled money stuff. Oof.
• Among conservatives: support dropped from 77% to 72%. That’s sus.

🧠 What the Experts Are Saying

Prof. Scott Lucas says Trump might be vibing better now ’cause he’s not yelling about tariffs as much. But don’t get it twisted — he says don’t trust just one poll. “Polls got bias too, fam.”

📱 On Truth Social (aka boomer TikTok), Trump wrote a WILD post like:

“We’re making America ✨bigger✨ ✨better✨✨healthier✨✨more religious✨ than ever before!!!”

(Okay, calm down, main character.)

Meanwhile, Dem poll guy Matt McDermott says all this movement in the polls is just noise:

“Ain’t momentum, just static. Trump’s trying to shift blame for the economy, but voters ain’t buying it.”

🔮 What’s Next?

Trump’s ratings could still go up or down depending on what’s happening with the economy, global stuff, or if he drops another viral post. Stay tuned, it’s giving political rollercoaster.
