The AI video at issue

The disputed October 2025 clip showed a figure resembling Trump wearing a crown inside a jet labeled "King Trump," then appeared to drop human waste onto demonstrators in what looked like Times Square. The video used Kenny Loggins’ "Danger Zone" and prompted public pushback, including a request by reporter Harry Sisson and a reply from Vice President J.D. Vance.

Activists and media on both sides are increasingly using AI clips, prompting debate over accuracy and ethics.
