A Republican honcho has defended Donald Trump’s decision to share an artificial intelligence-generated video in which he drops feces aboard a fighter jet.
The President of the United States published this video on his Truth Social network on Sunday, the day after the No Kings protests in several American cities. Last Saturday, millions of Americans took to the streets to denounce President Trump’s policies and actions: the raids on immigrants, the deployment of federal troops in cities, public service layoffs, draconian budget cuts, the phasing out of voting rights, the rollback of vaccination requirements, the reversal of treaties with tribes and the so-called “One” bill. Big Beautiful Bill.”
According to statistics taken from the US president’s Truth Social account, the video has nearly 4,800 comments, 8,800 shares and 34,000 likes.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, justified the president’s actions on Monday to journalists. To the question “What do we think of the fact that the American president broadcast a video this weekend in which he defecates on the American people?” “, he replied that Donald Trump “uses social networks to send a message” and that he “is probably the person who uses social networks most effectively to achieve this”.
He uses satire to get his point across.

For singer Kenny Loggins, who performs the song Danger Zonewhich we hear in the extract, this use is anything but satirical: he asked that it be removed.
I don’t understand why anyone would want their music used or associated with something that was created for the sole purpose of dividing us.

Democrats also reacted to this video: this is the case of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who responded sarcastically by saying that the American president is especially not angry that 7 million Americans took to the streets to protest against him.
The organization Occupy Democrats also published a response to X, criticizing in capital letters, as if shouting, the dropping of excrement on the American population.
Since the start of his mandate, Donald Trump has used artificial intelligence several times in his publications on his Truth Social network. Recall the video which shows Gaza transformed into a seaside resort.
