President Donald Trump has posted a fake video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters.
The short video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account late Saturday, was posted on the same day that protesters participated in a daylong mass demonstration, known as “No Kings,” against the Trump administration. The protests took place in cities and towns across all 50 states, with participants holding signs such as “I Pledge Allegiance to No King” and chanting slogans accusing the president of acting in authoritarian ways.
Set to the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, the video depicts the plane dropping a brown liquid resembling feces onto the heads of protesters gathered in a city.
On the same day, the White House posted an artificial intelligence-generated image on social media showing Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns. The post included a simple message: “Have a good night, everyone,” accompanied by a crown emoji.
Trump frequently reposts AI-generated or manipulated imagery on his Truth Social account. Last month, for example, he shared a meme of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), the House minority leader, depicting Jeffries with a fake mustache and sombrero, set to mariachi music. Jeffries, who is Black, condemned the video as racist and bigoted.
The No Kings protests followed a massive demonstration in June, when an estimated 5 million people participated across some 2,000 protests nationwide. Saturday’s event was organized by national and local groups, along with well-known progressive coalitions such as Indivisible, 50501, and MoveOn.
Republican leaders criticized the protests, blaming them for prolonging the government shutdown and labeling the event a “hate America rally.”
When asked about the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, responded briefly via email: “Who cares?”
In an upcoming interview with Fox News set to air Sunday, Trump addressed the protesters, saying, “They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king.”
