"The most infamous example of his experimentation with AI-generated videos came ahead of the No Kings protests earlier this month. In the clip, the president is decked out in full Top Gun gear, piloting a fighter jet bearing "KING TRUMP" on its side. Instead of a traditional pilot's helmet, however, the president is wearing a literal crown, just in case the rest of the visuals were too subtle."
"The president of the United States, I've learned, is at the very least capable of posting AI videos on main: According to a senior White House official, there are times when Trump will come across a video he finds particularly funny or amusing-either on Truth Social or through other unspecified channels-save it to his camera roll, and release it into the world."
"The White House remains cagey as to how the fighter jet video, specifically, ended up happening, and who, exactly, hit the button to post it. As a general trend, it appears Trump is typing away on social media less than in his peak posting days, a former Trump campaign official tells me. He has long relied on dictation and annotated printouts, while still being prone to the more than occasional covfefe-esque typo."
President Donald Trump frequently shares AI-generated videos that range from militaristic fantasy to racist and dystopian depictions. Examples include a Top Gun-style clip showing him in a crown-laden fighter jet dumping excrement on fictional protesters, a racist image of Hakeem Jeffries in stereotypical attire, and a "Trump Gaza" video. The videos often originate from material Trump saves to his camera roll or from staffers who locate clips and obtain approval to post. The White House has been guarded about who posted specific clips. Trump now types on social media less, relying on dictation and annotated printouts, and still makes occasional typos.
