Trump shares AI video mocking 'No Kings' protests as millions march against his government

As the 'No Kings' protests take over the United States of America, President Donald Trump shared an AI video, mocking the marches against his administration. After spending the whole day golfing, Trump took to TruthSocial, sharing an AI-created video showing himself wearing a crown, flying a “KING TRUMP” fighter jet.

What was concerning was the fact that in the video, Trump was depicted bombing a crowd of No Kings protesters with brown liquid. The video was shared on both the president’s personal and government social media accounts, reflecting the unseriousness of the administration towards the ongoing demonstrations.

The video showed, jet dumping brown liquid on the demonstrators as Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” plays in the background, which was an apparent reference to Tom Cruise’s Top Gun movies. Nearly 7 million people across all 50 states of the US took to the streets to protest against the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Republicans have been responding with a mixture of hyperbole, criticism, and mockery.

How top Republicans are reacting to the demonstrations

Mike Johnson, the US Speaker of the House, described the protests as “Hate America” rallies. Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested participants are pro-Hamas or paid protesters acting on behalf of Antifa, a move designated as a domestic terrorist organisation by the Trump administration.

Trump’s Republican allies similarly played the same tunes, mocking demonstrators with images and AI video of the president wearing a crown on social media. US Vice President JD Vance shared an AI-created video of the president putting on a crown and cape, while Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats kneel before him.

In response to this, critics have accused the White House of using these operations to provoke unrest that might trigger the president’s invocation of the Insurrection Act, further militarising local law enforcement. No Kings organisers were acutely aware of the administration’s attempts to link what is likely the biggest single-day protest in modern history to violence.

“They’re clearly scared of peaceful opposition,” Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin told The Independent this week. This is not the first time Trump and his supporters have deployed such tactics. In September, as the White House was ramping up threats ahead of its eventual attempt to send the National Guard into Chicago, the president posted an AI-generated image of himself in a cowboy hat, US Army fatigues, and aviator sunglasses with military helicopters flying low over the Chicago skyline, which was engulfed in flames.

The image shared by Trump at that time also contained the slogan “Chipocalypse Now,” an apparent reference to the 1979 Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now. “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago is about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” Trump’s post read.
