Let’s be real. Politics has always been a circus, but lately it feels like the clowns learned how to use artificial intelligence. When the headline Most Americans disapprove of Trump’s AI videos – poll dropped, I wasn’t exactly shocked. I mean, the guy literally shared a video of himself in a fighter jet dropping… well… poop on protesters. Yes. Actual feces. From a jet. On Americans.

Even writing that sentence feels like satire, but apparently this is 2025 now.

The funny thing is, AI was supposed to revolutionize medicine and help us solve climate change. Instead, we’re watching presidents cosplay Top Gun villains with toilet humor layered in. Political innovation, right?

When a Joke Stops Being Funny

Most Americans didn’t love it. According to the poll, something like 61% “strongly disapproved.” People didn’t call it bold. They didn’t call it clever. They called it unpresidential and “disturbing.”

I can picture someone scrolling through their feed at breakfast, expecting a cute puppy video or a photo of their aunt’s lasagna, and suddenly… the President digitally bombing protesters with poop. Good morning, democracy.

Is It All Just “Satire”?

Sure, some folks say Trump is just great at social media. Even a top Republican stepped in to defend him, suggesting the videos were satire. The idea is that Trump isn’t trying to encourage violence or demean Americans. He’s simply “punching back” with memes.

Maybe. Although if your meme includes simulated war crimes and bodily waste, it might be time to rethink the humor strategy.

The Bigger Picture Nobody Asked For

The AI videos don’t stop there. There were clips showing Barack Obama getting arrested and a redesigned Gaza glittering with golden Trump statues. It’s like AI was handed to a teenager on Red Bull.

Social media loves spectacle. Presidents normally like being presidential. The overlap between those two worlds is narrow; Trump found the chaos zone right in the middle and decided to call it home.

Technology Meets Ego Meets America

I actually remember watching one of those videos while half asleep and thinking, “This has to be fake,” before realizing the whole point was that it was fake. That’s where things get messy. AI can bend reality, and when the most powerful public office uses it for dunking on opponents, people understandably get uneasy.

We’re already living in a world where nobody trusts a headline. Now we have to question whether the president is bombing protesters for laughs? That’s a weird sentence to even type.

So Where Does This Go?

Maybe this is just a phase. Maybe poll numbers will be the cold splash of water that convinces political leaders to stop posting weaponized memes. Or maybe this is politics now. God help us.

Either way, Americans seem to be saying one thing loud and clear: enough with the AI shock videos. Lead, don’t troll.

Even though, let’s admit it… the internet isn’t going to look away.
