Description

President Donald Trump, who remained mostly quiet Saturday (18th October) as nearly 7 million demonstrators took part in the “No Kings” protests against his administration, posted several AI-generated videos that evening. In one shocking video, an AI-generated version of the president wears a crown and robe and boasts a sword before the camera pans to several high-profile Democrats bowing down to him. In another, a depiction of him flies in a “King Trump” airplane. Wearing a crown, he flies over the crowds of protesters and dumps brown liquid on them. Saturday’s protests marked the third mass mobilisation against Trump since he reclaimed the White House.
