The US president released a clip depicting his own likeness piloting a fighter jet and dropping feces on protesters<\/p>\n
The majority of Americans hold a negative view of US President Donald Trump\u2019s use of AI-generated videos to mock his opponents, a new YouGov poll has suggested.
\nThe survey conducted last week found that 61% of respondents \u201cstrongly\u201d disapproved and another 9% \u201csomewhat\u201d disapproved of a video in which Trump appeared piloting a fighter jet and dropping feces on a portrayal of a recent \u201cNo Kings\u201d anti-government protest in New York City.
\nSixty percent of poll respondents called the video \u201cunpresidential,\u201d while more than half described it as \u201cdisturbing\u201d or \u201coffensive.\u201d Only a small share viewed it positively, with 15% finding it \u201centertaining\u201d and just 9% saying it was \u201cclever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not all reactions were critical, however. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the video, saying Trump was likely the most effective political figure ever to use social media and that his posts were meant as satire, not calls for violence.
\nThe \u201cNo Kings\u201d protest was part of a broader wave of demonstrations earlier this month. Organizers claimed more than 2,700 events took place across all 50 states. Protesters accused Trump of abusing his power and undermining democracy, while his supporters dismissed the events as partisan efforts to discredit his administration.
\nRespondents also expressed strong disapproval of two other AI-generated videos shared by Trump, one showing former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office, and another reimagining the Gaza Strip with a golden statue of Trump and a \u201cTrump Gaza\u201d hotel.<\/p>\n

According to Time magazine, Trump has turned artificial intelligence into a political tool, using it to amplify his message and refine his online image in ways that have proven strikingly effective.
