Amid No Kings protest, US president responds with 'King Trump' AI video | Watch
In Los Angeles, ‘No Kings’ protestors appeared in inflatable costumes waving American flags across the streets.
US President Donald Trump shared a Truth Social post featuring an AI-created video showing him wearing a crown, flying a “KING TRUMP” fighter jet, and bombing ‘No Kings’ protesters with brown liquid.
The video, shared on the president’s personal and government social media accounts, shows the president soaring above a protest crowd in what appears to be Times Square. The jet then dumps brown liquid on the demonstrators as Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” plays in the background, an apparent reference to the Top Gun movies.
The post came as millions of demonstrators joined the nationwide “No Kings” protest, a movement opposing the policies of President Trump's administration.
