The video was released against the backdrop of massive «No Kings» protests in the US
President of the United States Donald Trump published in his social network Truth Social artificially created video in which he is depicted in golden crown, symbolising «royalty». In the video, Trump «bombs» protesters of the «No Kings», which covered a number of American cities.
As reported by The Washington Post, The video quickly went viral and caused a wave of outrage among social media users, who accused Trump's team of using AI to ridicule civil protests.
Public reaction
Mass demonstrations under the slogan «No Kings» have been going on in the US for several days now, with participants opposing the strengthening of presidential powers and accusing the Trump administration of seeking to establish authoritarian rule.
The published video only added fuel to the fire: critics say Trump despises democracy and uses the image of the «king» for self-promotion.
US Vice President supports the «coronation» video
According to journalists, The US vice president also posted a similar video, showing the moment of Trump's «coronation». This move was seen as an attempt to reinforce the administration's political message - to create an image of a «strong leader» despite the protests.
