As “No Kings” protests swept across the country, US President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video that mocked demonstrators. After spending the day golfing, he shared the clip on TruthSocial. The video showed him wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet labeled “KING TRUMP.”
In the video, Trump bombed a crowd of protesters with brown liquid. He shared the clip on both his personal and official government accounts. The post drew strong criticism and raised concern about the administration’s attitude toward peaceful protests.

Top Gun Theme and Public Reaction
The video featured the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, referencing Tom Cruise’s Top Gun movies. As the music played, Trump’s jet released brown liquid over the protesters.
Critics called the video “mocking and inappropriate.” Nearly seven million people joined the “No Kings” marches across all 50 U.S. states to protest Trump’s policies. Meanwhile, several Republican leaders reacted with ridicule and anger toward the demonstrators.
Republican Leaders Mock the Protests
House Speaker Mike Johnson called the rallies “Hate America” protests. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy accused demonstrators of being “pro-Hamas or paid protesters acting on behalf of Antifa,” which the Trump administration has declared a domestic terrorist group.
Trump’s allies continued to post mocking AI content. Vice President JD Vance shared an AI video of Trump wearing a crown and cape while Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, kneel before him.
Critics Warn of Political Provocation
Opponents accused the White House of trying to provoke unrest. They warned that Trump might use any violence as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would expand his powers and militarize local police.
Organizers of the “No Kings” movement said they were aware of such tactics. “They’re clearly scared of peaceful opposition,” Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin told The Independent.
Trump’s History of AI Political Posts
This was not the first time Trump used AI-generated images for political messaging. In September, he posted another AI picture of himself in a cowboy hat, military uniform, and aviator sunglasses. Helicopters flew over a burning Chicago skyline in the background.
That image carried the slogan “Chipocalypse Now”, a twist on the 1979 Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now. Trump captioned it, “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago is about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.”
Growing Concerns Over AI Propaganda
The new AI video has sparked outrage and fear of manipulation. Critics say it glorifies Trump and mocks peaceful protesters. Supporters, however, see it as a show of strength.
With millions on the streets and the administration dismissing the protests, the “No Kings” movement has become one of the largest demonstrations in modern U.S. history.
