Donald Trump reposted an AI-generated video of him flying a fighter plane emblazoned with the words “King Trump” and dumping brown sludge onto protestors, in what appears to be a retort to the widespread No Kings protests that took place Saturday against his second presidency.
In the video, which the president posted Saturday night, a sharply orange Trump is seen donning a gold crown and manning a plane monikered “King Trump”. The video zooms away from Trump and shows the plane dumping bursts of brown matter on an AI-generated cityscape. A protestor, taking a selfie video, captures the crowd being covered in the brown liquid. The last shot of the 19-second video is of protestors in what appears to be Times Square getting dumped on.
It’s not the first AI-generated video Trump has posted on his timeline, which is full of edited memes and videos professing praise for the president and his allies while mocking his political enemies.
