Trump White House

Trump Posts Bizarre AI Video of Himself Bombing ‘No Kings’ Protesters With Brown Sludge

The video, set to the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, was posted the evening after seven million people took to the streets for another “No Kings” demonstration.

President Donald Trump posted yet another bizarre AI-generated video on social media Saturday night, this time featuring himself wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet labeled “King Trump” while dumping what appears to be feces on a crowd of protesters.

The video, set to the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, was posted the evening after seven million people across all 50 states took to the streets for another “No Kings” demonstration against what they say is the administration’s executive overreach.

The White House poked fun at the protest again in a second AI-generated social media post Saturday night, this one of Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns alongside an altered image of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing sombreros.

“We’re built different,” the post said. “Have a good night, everyone.”

The Trump White House is no stranger to using artificial intelligence to make fun of its critics. The president first posted a meme of Schumer and Jeffries in the traditional Mexican headwear last month, using the video to falsely accuse Democrats of forcing a government shutdown in an effort to give free health care to undocumented immigrants.

“Oh, I think it’s funny,” Vance said in response to criticism at the time. “The president’s joking, and we’re having a good time.”

Jeffries on the other hand called the video bigoted and racist, to which Vance responded “I don’t even know what that means.”

While Saturday’s widespread protests were largely peaceful, Trump-aligned Republicans have consistently tied the “No Kings” organization to spreading violent rhetoric. In interviews this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson and others called the massive protests a “hate America” rally.

Rep. Tom Emmer, the House majority whip, also suggested that Democrats were participating in the demonstrations as a bid to appease the “terrorist wing” of the party.

In June, the organization held its first state-to-state protest drawing an estimated five million people.

Speaking on ABC’s Sunday morning program, “This Week,” Johnson congratulated attendees on “an apparently violent free speech exercise” while also condemning its overall message.

“There were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video and photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president, saying fascists must die,” Johnson said on ABC This Week. “I don’t think it’s pro-American to say those kinds of things. It’s not about the people, it’s about the message, the ideology, and I will stand here every Sunday about the dangers of Marxism and socialism and how it’s led to the literal death of tens of millions of people.”
