WASHINGTON — In the wake of Saturday’s “No Kings” demonstrations, President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by releasing an AI-generated video. The clip portrays him dumping sludge on protesters, seemingly in response to the weekend’s widespread marches.

Trump posted the imaginative video on Truth Social shortly after the protests concluded on October 18. Set to the tune of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone,” it shows a crowned Trump flying a fighter jet labeled “King Trump” above large crowds, releasing a stream of brown liquid over what is depicted as Times Square in New York City.

The “No Kings” protests spanned the nation this weekend, taking place in all 50 states. Millions participated in thousands of individual marches, with significant gatherings occurring in major cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Houston, San Diego, and San Francisco.

The “No Kings” protests returned to all 50 states across the U.S. this weekend, drawing millions of people across thousands separate marches in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, D.C., Houston, San Diego, San Francisco and more.

“More than 7 million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people,” organizers said on the “No Kings” website.

The demonstrations, organized by an activist group of the same name, began earlier this summer in opposition to Trump’s military birthday parade in Washington.

“The world saw the power of the people,” organizers said, referencing the summer protests. “President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.”

In addition to the AI video, the White House posted a separate image on social media showing Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns, juxtaposed with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wearing sombreros.

“We’re built different,” the caption read.
