On Saturday, the day millions of protesters around the country marched in the anti-Trump “NO KINGS” protest, the president posted a bizarre, AI-generated video of himself “bombing” the demonstrations. Sort of.

According to The Independent, Trump had posted “an AI-created video showing himself wearing a crown, flying a “KING TRUMP” fighter jet, and bombing a crowd of No Kings protesters with brown liquid.” It’s the latest controversial AI-generated video that Trump has posted in recent weeks; others have included one that he later deleted, involving the “medbed” conspiracy theory.

Considering that it used the song “Danger Zone” along with a flight motif, the video was a pretty clear parody of the movie Top Gun. The video was also posted on the president’s personal and government accounts, on both X and Truth Social.

“The idea of the president unilaterally exerting power and using military might on Americans isn’t so far removed from the president, with the White House deploying federal immigration agents across cities like Portland and Chicago over the objections of protesters and local officials, while pushing to add National Guard troops in those same locations,” the Independent story said.

Also on Saturday, the president and his allies made numerous social media posts pushing the notion that Trump is, in fact, a king.

There were some shocked reactions to Trump’s video:
