Donald Trump fired up Truth Social late Saturday night with a bizarre, AI-generated video that shows him flying a fighter jet while wearing a golden crown—before dumping what appears to be raw sewage on a crowd of protesters holding signs that read “No Kings.”
The video, which went live at 9:32 PM Eastern, came just hours after protests erupted in cities and small towns across the country. The demonstrations, described by some analysts as “one of the largest of its kind,” were aimed squarely at what critics call Trump’s creeping authoritarianism and his increasingly aggressive campaign rhetoric.
Instead of responding with policy or even his usual snark, Trump opted for something else: a grotesque fantasy. In the clip, a digitally altered Trump—dressed like a monarch—soars through the skies in a military jet, then swoops down to drench a group of demonstrators in brown sludge, presumably meant to represent feces.
There was no caption. No explanation. Just the video. Still, the message couldn’t have been more clear.
For months now, Trump has been leaning hard into king-like imagery—talking openly about “retribution,” praising dictators, and hinting at using the military on U.S. soil. But Saturday’s AI clip marks a new kind of escalation: a literal depiction of Trump attacking civilians for daring to protest.
The protesters, many of them carrying signs with slogans like “No Kings,” “Democracy or Dictatorship—We Choose,” and “Stop the Strongman,” gathered in a coordinated push to spotlight what they see as a dangerous moment for American democracy. Videos from the demonstrations appeared peaceful and diverse—families, students, veterans, and even former Republicans among the crowd.
But Trump’s video didn’t see peaceful dissent. It saw enemies. And in his imagined response? Drench them in waste.
Critics were quick to pounce.
“It’s not just unpresidential—it’s dangerous,” one former intelligence official told us. “You’ve got a president who’s posting AI fantasies of assaulting civilians with waste. That’s not normal.”
Others saw the post as a warning.
“He’s telling you exactly how he sees himself and what he wants to do to those who oppose him,” tweeted one legal scholar. “Believe him.”
