Oct 20, 2025
Washington [US], October 20: In response to the nationwide No Kings protests against his policies on Saturday, US President Donald Trump posted videos generated by artificial intelligence (AI) depicting him as a king.
One clip, shared by Trump on his social media platform Truth Social, depicts him as the pilot of a fighter jet labelled "King Trump." In the video, the jet drops brown, mud-like sludge resembling excrement onto protesters in a city that appears to be New York.In another video, previously posted by Vice President JD Vance on the platform Bluesky, an AI generated Trump is shown adorning himself with royal insignia, including a crown, robe and sword, while politicians such as Democrat Nancy Pelosi kneel before him.
Trump's posts were an apparent response to the No Kings slogan for the protests that turned out millions of people on Saturday. Demonstrators expressed their discontent with the president's leadership style. Organizers said nearly 7 million people participated in protests across more than 2,700 cities and towns in the US.
