Trump's AI 'King' Video Amplified by White House

President Donald Trump posted a 19‑second AI‑generated video on Truth Social showing himself as a crowned “King Trump” fighter‑jet pilot dropping brown sludge—depicted as feces—onto “No Kings” protesters while Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” played; the clip carried a creator watermark attributed to @XERIAS_X and quickly went viral. The post was amplified via White House/X posts and echoed by Vice‑President JD Vance’s AI content, and Trump captioned it “Just cleaning up the mess!” while sharing additional AI images and videos that day. The clip appeared amid a second wave of “No Kings” demonstrations organizers said were held in over 2,700 cities across all 50 states and drew nearly seven million participants, which they described as largely peaceful. Supporters praised the humor and digital creativity, while critics condemned the imagery as undignified and said it raised concerns about a president depicting force against domestic demonstrators. The episode has intensified debate about presidential conduct, the political use of AI-generated media, and responses to mass protests over perceived executive overreach.
