The second night of the current government shutdown saw Donald Trump doing the incredibly essential work of… serving up AI slop to supporters via his various social media feeds.
One AI-generated video shared by the president appeared to show him throwing a cap emblazoned with the slogan “Trump 2028” onto the head of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) during their ultimately fruitless Oval Office meeting to avert the shutdown.

The clip was set to the song that Trump came out on stage to during his campaign ― The Village People’s “Y. M. C. A.” ― and ended with Trump cracking up in laughter at his move. See the video here.

The president also posted a six-second clip of what appeared to be him in a cape and a cap, on a mountain. In another video, Trump appeared as the Grim Reaper with Vice President JD Vance playing drums.
He also shared on Facebook a deepfake of Jeffries wearing a sombrero and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) slamming Democrats as “woke pieces of shit.”
On Wednesday, when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about another ridiculous AI-generated video that Trump had shared online, she said “he has the right to do that, it’s his social media.”
She also hailed Trump as “incredibly transparent,” highlighted his love of sharing memes and videos and claimed it’s “quite refreshing” that he’s “so open and honest.”
