Donald Trump mocked the “No Kings” protests aimed at him and his fellow Republicans that took place across the U.S. over the weekend with an AI-generated video that used Kenny Loggins’ song Danger Zone from Top Gun and showed him dropping brown liquid on demonstrators.
In the 20-second video posted by Trump to Truth Social, the president is seen strapped into a jet emblazoned with the words “King Trump” on its side. As he takes to the skies, Trump wears a crown as he’s seated in the cockpit before he proceeds to dump what looks to be feces on left-wing influencer Harry Sisson and other protesters below.
“Can a reporter please ask Trump why he posted an AI video of himself dropping poop on me from a fighter jet?” Sisson tweeted . “That would be great thanks.”
Vice President JD Vance fired back at Sisson, tweeting : “I’ll ask him for you Harry.”
“That plane wouldn’t have made it off the ground with your fat a** in the pilot’s seat,” Sisson swiped in another post.

The White House also poked fun at the “No Kings” protest when it uploaded a photo of Trump and Vance wearing crowns alongside an image of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer sporting sombreros.
“We’re built different. Have a good night, everyone. 👑,” the White House caption read.

On Monday, Loggins demanded that his song Danger Zone be “removed immediately” from the AI-generated footage.
“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us,” Loggins said in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone and NBC News. “Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ — that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”
De Niro weighs in
Two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro also jumped into the fray by praising demonstrators marching against Trump, saying, “ We can’t let up. We cannot let up on them, because he is not gonna leave the White House.”
“ He does not wanna leave the White House, he will not leave the White House. Anybody who thinks (he will) is just deluding themselves, the Republicans most of all, because they know. But they’re going along with it. It’s a classic bully situation,” De Niro said during an appearance on MSNBC’s The Weekend. “We see it, and there’s no other way to face a bully. You have to face him and fight it out, and back him off, and back him down. That’s the only way this is going to work.”

According to the Washington Post , organizers said nearly seven million people attended Saturday’s demonstrations — two million more than they estimated had attended the first round of No Kings rallies, which took place on Trump’s 79th birthday in June.
Trump fired back at the notion that he’s wielding unchecked power.
“ You know, they’re saying they’re referring to me as a king,” Trump said in a Sunday Morning Futures interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo recorded on Saturday, prior to the demonstrations. “I’m not.”
It isn’t the first time Trump has dabbled with AI to rile his critics.
Back in February, Trump posted an AI-generated video to his Truth Social account that showed his idea of how war-torn Gaza could be transformed into a resort destination vacation spot, with a massive golden Donald Trump statue as its main attraction.

Last year, Trump also posted AI-generated pictures encouraging fans of Taylor Swift to vote for him . One showed Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, and the text said “Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for DONALD TRUMP.”
Another showed women wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts.
