Trump Shares AI Video of Bombing ‘No Kings’ Protesters with Feces
US President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated video of himself bombing ‘No Kings’ protesters with feces, responding to widespread anti-government demonstrations across the country. The video, which includes actual footage from a protest in New York by left-wing influencer Harry Sisson, ends with prominent Democratic lawmakers kneeling before Trump, referencing a 2025 photo-op.
The protests, which took place on Saturday, were held at over 2,500 locations nationwide. Protesters accused Trump of abusing his power and undermining democracy, while also condemning his crackdown on illegal immigrants and the use of the military in American cities under the guise of fighting crime. Trump responded with AI-generated videos on Truth Social, including footage originally posted by Xerias, a pro-Trump X account known for creating AI-generated memes.
One video shows Trump piloting a ‘King Trump’ warplane that dumps feces on the protesters, incorporating actual footage from the New York protest. Another video shared by Trump, originally posted by Vice President J.D. Vance, features Trump donning a crown and cloak before unsheathing a sword. The clip ends with prominent Democratic lawmakers, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, kneeling before Trump, referencing a 2020 photo-op.
Trump’s posts received mixed reactions, with supporters actively sharing the meme videos, while critics, such as Democratic Senator Brian Schatz, condemned the videos, questioning why the president would post an image of airdropping feces on American cities. Harry Sisson, the left-wing influencer featured in the video, responded on X, asking Trump to explain why he posted an AI video of himself dropping poop on him from a fighter jet.
The incident has sparked a broader debate about the use of AI-generated content for political purposes and the implications of such content in shaping public perception. With the increased use of AI in political discourse, there is a growing concern about the authenticity and intent behind such content. Critics argue that the use of AI-generated videos to mock and deride protesters could influence public opinion and potentially incite further unrest.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how lawmakers and the public will respond to the use of AI in political messaging. The incident underscores the evolving landscape of political communication in the digital age, where AI technology is becoming an increasingly influential tool in shaping narratives and engaging with audiences.
