Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video showing himself as āKing Trump,ā flying a fighter jet and dropping brown liquid on protesters. The controversial post has sparked political debate across the U.S.
Donald Trumpās Viral AI Video Sparks Outrage
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has again ignited controversy after posting an AI-generated video of himself flying a jet labeled āKING TRUMP.ā In the clip, Trump is seen wearing a crown and dropping brown liquid on a crowd of demonstrators protesting under the banner āNo Kings.ā
The video, shared on Trumpās Truth Social and other government accounts, shows him soaring above Times Square, while Kenny Logginsā āDanger Zoneā plays in the background ā a nod to the classic Top Gun movies.
Millions Join āNo Kingsā Protest
The AI video was posted just hours after Trump spent the day golfing, while his allies mocked millions of Americans marching against his administration.
According to organizers, more than 7 million people participated across all 50 states ā one of the largest single-day protests in modern U.S. history.
Republican leaders quickly dismissed the protests. House Speaker Mike Johnson labeled them āHate Americaā rallies, while Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested demonstrators were āpaid actorsā or linked to Antifa, which the Trump administration has declared a domestic terror organization.
Republican Allies Amplify āKing Trumpā Theme
Trumpās supporters appeared to embrace the āKing Trumpā image. Vice President JD Vance posted another AI-made video showing Trump putting on a royal crown and cape as Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats kneel before him.
Other pro-Trump accounts shared images of the former president in royal robes or on fake magazine covers. One viral post even depicted Trump waving from the White House balcony wrapped in red velvet.
The White House has not issued an official comment regarding these posts.
Concerns Over Use of Power and Militarization
Critics argue that the video blurs the line between satire and a dangerous show of authoritarianism. Analysts point out that Trumpās administration previously deployed federal agents in cities like Portland and Chicago, despite objections from local officials.
Many see such actions ā and this new AI video ā as an attempt to normalize military imagery and potentially justify stronger control through laws like the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to use military force within U.S. borders.
