An AI-generated video featuring President Donald Trump piloting a fighter jet, provocatively titled ‘King Trump,’ has gone viral after being shared by the President himself. The clip humorously depicts the jet spraying a brown substance onto ‘No Kings’ protesters, a movement that has seen widespread demonstrations across the US. Reports suggest that nearly seven million individuals participated in these rallies. The President’s engagement extended to the White House sharing a screengrab of him adorned with an emperor’s crown on the social media platform X.
The viral video, approximately 19 seconds long and posted on Truth Social, visualizes Trump commanding a fighter jet emblazoned with ‘King Trump,’ as it douses protesters below with a muddy liquid. Organizers estimate the recent ‘No Kings’ protests drew millions more participants than the initial wave in June. Police have largely characterized the large-scale demonstrations as peaceful, with no major disruptions or arrests noted.
Protests spanned major cities like Chicago, with attendees displaying custom signs and flags. Los Angeles saw participants in unique inflatable costumes. In the nation’s capital, federal employees joined the demonstration, urging for a less divisive political climate. These ‘No Kings’ protests are occurring during a federal government shutdown and a period of intense partisan disagreement in Washington.
