"Outrage spread Monday over President Trump's effort to mock the huge No Kings protests over the weekend by posting an AI video of himself dumping waste on demonstrators. Supporters of the sprawling rallies that drew millions slammed Trump for posting the 18-second clip depicting him wearing a crown and piloting a KING TRUMP warplane over some of the sprawling crowds that gathered on Saturday to protest his hardline second term in power."
"Anybody who would depict himself as dumping waste on the American people doesn't really warrant (holding) the powers of the presidency, said Mike Zamore of the American Civil Liberties Union, told CNN on Monday. It's another reflection of the lack of regard the president has for the people of this country, The GOP can smear these protests all they want, but they can't silence the truth, tweeted Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn), who participated in the Times Square rally."
"Rocker Kenny Loggins, whose hit Danger Zone is used in the Trump clip, demanded that the song be removed. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us, the Footloose singer said in a statement. House Speaker Mike Johnson Monday accused protesters of inciting violence because some carried signs with the slogan 86 47, a euphemism for ousting Trump, who is the 47th president."
President Trump posted an 18-second AI video depicting himself wearing a crown and piloting a 'KING TRUMP' warplane that appears to dump foul brown waste onto No Kings protesters in Times Square and other gatherings. Supporters and rally participants called the clip insulting and demeaning. Mike Zamore of the ACLU said anyone portraying themselves dumping waste on the American people does not deserve presidential power. Rep. Nydia Velazquez criticized GOP attempts to smear the rallies. Musician Kenny Loggins demanded removal of his song Danger Zone from the clip. House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the clip as satire and accused some protesters of inciting violence.
