On numerous occasions, President Donald Trump has made headlines over sharing controversial AI-generated content. In May 2025, he sparked criticism when he shared an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope. More recently, he shared AI-generated videos in response to the anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstrations that took place across the country on Saturday, October 18.
The protests clearly got to him, as he took to Truth Social to share an AI-generated video that appeared to show him dropping fecal matter on protesters. In the video, Trump wore a crown while flying a “King Trump” fighter jet. As the jet flew over protesters, it appeared to dump feces or some other brown liquid on them.

Understandably, people had questions and concerns about Trump’s decision to share this video. In response to the AI-generated clip, one X user wrote, “Does it turn people into proud Americans to see their president behaving like a crude, undignified slob w/no regard for anyone who thinks differently than he does?”
Another person called the video “unhinged, even for him.” Although it came across as problematic and concerning to many, several people pointed out that the clip was a great visual representation of what Trump is doing to the United States. “He’s been doing it with his policies anyway,” a third critic wrote. A fourth person called it, “The most accurate depiction of Trump’s policies toward working Americans.”
To former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Trump’s post just showed that he’s clearly upset about the number of people protesting against him. “He’s definitely not mad that 7 million Americans came out to protest him yesterday…” she wrote sarcastically.

The fake video also included the song “Danger Zone” performed by Kenny Loggins. On Monday, October 20, in a statement shared with NPR, Loggins said Trump’s use of the song was “unauthorized.” The singer added, “Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.”
Another video Trump shared after the nationwide protests also went viral. In that one, he threatened to run for president “4EVA.” The video featured campaign signs for future elections, including one that read “Trump 2048.” Republicans against Trump saw the video as a sign that “somebody needs to take the phone away from Grandpa.”
