Trump posts AI video dumping brown liquid on 'No Kings' protesters
President Trump late Saturday shared an AI-generated video of himself wearing a crown while piloting a fighter jet and dumping brown liquid on "No Kings" demonstrators.
As Kenny Loggins’s song “Danger Zone” plays in the background, the jet, emblazoned with "King Trump," flies over Time Square in New York City and drops what appears to be feces over protesters.
Trump on his Truth Social platform also shared another AI-generated video, originally posted by Vice President Vance’s Bluesky account, of the president wearing a crown before a cape forms over his shoulders and he unsheathes a sword.
That video ends with a clip of Democratic lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), kneeling to honor George Floyd in 2020.
Schumer, meanwhile, posted photos on X of himself with demonstrators in New York City, adding that “we won’t allow Trump to keep eroding our democracy.”
And Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) shared a post on X as a comment below Schumer’s previous words about “No Kings Day.”
“If Trump was a king, the government would be open right now,” reads a caption above a portrait of the signing of the Declaration of Independence that says, “There’s already an actual ‘No Kings Day.’ It’s on July 4th, we call it Independence Day.”
Millions of Americans on Saturday came together for “No Kings Day” protests throughout the U.S.
Around 2,600 separate demonstrations targeting the Trump administration were planned across 50 states. Protests happened in small towns and large cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and New York City.
The “No Kings” protests launched in mid-June, coinciding with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade in Washington, D.C., which occurred on Trump’s 79th birthday.
The latest protests came amid a battle over the ongoing government shutdown, with Democrats demanding concessions on health care and Republicans so far refusing to budge.
