President Donald Trump released an AI-generated video Saturday showing him in a fighter jet dropping what appears to be feces on U.S. protesters.
The 19-second video shows Trump wearing a crown in a fighter jet titled “King Trump.” He posted the video to his Truth Social account following nationwide “No Kings” rallies held Saturday to protest Trump and his administration.
The video shows Trump dropping apparent fecal matter on someone who resembles left-wing influencer Harry Sisson and other protesters gathered in an area that appears to be Times Square in New York.
“Can a reporter ask Trump why he released an AI video of himself dropping poop on me from a fighter jet?” Sisson tweeted. “That would be great, thanks.”
Vice President JD Vance responded to Sisson by tweeting: “I’ll ask him you Harry. »
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump has released a number of AI-generated videos to hit back at his critics in recent months. The president has posted dozens of such videos to his Truth Social account over the past nine months, according to an NBC News review published earlier this month, with about half of his posts generated by AI in August and September. The videos often originate from other accounts and are then promoted by Trump, which was the case with his fighter jet video on Saturday.
The video featured the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins playing in the background. On Monday, Loggins said in a statement that he was requesting that his recording in the AI-generated video be “deleted immediately.”
“I can’t imagine why anyone would want their music used or associated with something created for the sole purpose of dividing us,” Loggins continued. “Too many people are trying to divide us and we need to find new ways to come together. We are all Americans and we are all patriots. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, and that’s not who we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together and I hope we can embrace music as a way to celebrate and unite all of us.”
Organizers of the No Kings protest said nearly 7 million people attended the more than 2,700 demonstrations that took place across the country on Saturday. This is 2 million more people than at previous No Kings protests in June.
Speaking to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo in an interview broadcast Sunday, Trump rejected the idea that he is acting like a monarch.
“You know, they say they consider me a king,” Trump said. “I’m not.”
