UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump has stunned political analysts and the public with a bizarre AI-generated video posted late Saturday night, featuring him as “King Trump.” In this surreal clip, Trump is depicted flying a fighter jet while dumping what appears to be feces on protesters labeled as “No Kings.”
This unorthodox response comes amidst what has been described as the largest protest in American history, where millions gathered to voice their dissent against autocratic governance and demand accountability. The clip has gone viral, eliciting shock and criticism from various quarters, including political experts and social media users.
George Conway, a conservative attorney, expressed disbelief at Trump’s actions, stating, “I for one do think it’s possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping s— on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping s— on Americans.” His pointed remarks highlight a growing frustration with Trump’s approach to governance.
The reactions continued to pour in as former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan humorously remarked, “Imagine if Bid—oh forget it,” suggesting the double standards in political reactions. Meanwhile, author and journalist Nick Bryant questioned the implications this video might have, asking, “I wonder what the Nobel peace prize committee will make of this…”
Experts weighed in on the implications of Trump’s video. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an authoritarianism scholar, noted, “An accurate representation of how this kind of leader really feels about those he governs. Autocrats starve, kill, jail, impoverish, and use and discard people because they feel scorn for humanity.”
Democratic strategist Matt McDermott emphasized the absurdity of Trump’s video response, stating, “The wildest part about the largest protest in American history is that the president’s response was to post a video literally proving the point of the protest.”
In a pointed comment, Democratic senator Brian Schatz questioned the rationale behind the video, asking, “But seriously why would the President post an image on the Internet of airdropping feces on American cities?”
The activist group, Home of the Brave, condemned Trump’s actions, stating, “Millions of Americans peacefully protested today to remind Trump that this is still the Home of the Brave & there are #NoKings.” They added, “The president responded by posting an AI video of himself dressed as a king while flying a fighter jet and defecating on peaceful American protesters.”
As the nation grapples with the fallout from this unprecedented response, the implications for Trump’s political future and the ongoing protests remain uncertain. What happens next will be closely monitored as both supporters and critics react to this bizarre turn of events.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as it unfolds.
