AI Video Shows Trump Flying ‘King Trump’ Jet
U.S. President Donald Trump sparked mixed reactions after posting an AI-generated video depicting himself piloting a fighter jet labeled “King Trump” and dropping a brown liquid substance on protesters.
The 19-second video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account on 18 October, shows the president wearing a gold crown and flying over a massive crowd believed to represent participants of the “No Kings” protests held nationwide that same day.
As Kenny Loggins’ hit song Danger Zone plays in the background, the jet releases what appears to be feces or brown sludge onto the crowd. The clip ends with cheering sound effects and a flashing “King Trump” logo.
Reports found the video was originally created by an online user identified as @xerias_x, whose bio describes their work as “AI + Video Edits” and “Satire.” The same user had posted the video hours earlier with the caption, “President Trump makes a quick appearance at the No Kings Protest.”
Trump’s post came shortly after millions of Americans took to the streets in protests. The protests criticized what they describe as his administration’s increasingly authoritarian and militarized policies.
Kenny Loggins Responds: “Remove My Recording Immediately”
The video’s use of Danger Zone quickly drew backlash from the song’s creator, Kenny Loggins, who issued a statement on Instagram on 20 October demanding the immediate removal of his recording.
“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of Danger Zone,” Loggins wrote. “Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.”
He continued:
“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ — it’s all of us.”
When asked for comment by AXIOS, the White House reportedly responded with a meme referencing the Top Gun film, captioned: “I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED.”
Millions Join ‘No Kings’ Protests Across the U.S.
The No Kings protests on 18 October drew nearly 7 million people across 2,700 demonstrations nationwide, according to organizers. The movement — named as a rebuke of Trump’s perceived authoritarian behavior — is one of the largest single-day protests in U.S. history.
While protesters called for limits to executive power and denounced government crackdowns on dissent, Republican officials dismissed the rallies as “Hate America” events or accused participants of being aligned with extremist groups.
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump’s online activity, saying:
“He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents.”
The No Kings organizers, however, said they were unfazed by attempts to mock the demonstrations. “They’re clearly scared of peaceful opposition,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the activist network Indivisible.
Despite the controversy surrounding Trump’s post, the video has since racked up millions of views across social platforms.
