Donald Trump feces video
On October 18, 2025, following nationwide No Kings protests in the United States, president Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social of him flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown. The video showed the jet dropping brown liquid that appeared to be feces on protesters, including liberal influencer Harry Sisson.[1][2]
The reaction was mostly negative.[3] Multiple figures, like House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, condemned the president for extreme unprofessionalism and the offensive and slandering nature of the video.[editorializing][4] Singer Kenny Loggins expressed outrage for the use of his song, "Danger Zone", in the video without permission.[5] Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump, saying that the video was just a joke created to make a "point".[6]
Background
The No Kings protests had first occurred on June 14, 2025 with the biggest demonstrations occurring on October 18, 2025 to protest perceived authoritarian policies of Trump and the corruption in his administration.[7] Trump regularly used artificially generated videos and photos throughout his second term.[8] Most recently he posted an AI-generated video of Project 2025 architect Russ Vought dressed as the grim reaper swinging a scythe shortly after the 2025 US government shutdown.[9][10] On September 29, 2025, Trump had posted an AI deepfake video that showed Hakeem Jeffries wearing an edited sombrero and Chuck Schumer saying "Nobody likes Democrats".[11] Also in September, Trump posted an AI-generated photo of himself mimicking Apocalypse Now as he prepared to deploy the National Guard and ICE to Chicago.[12]
Video
On October 18, 2025, during statewide No Kings Protests against the Second Trump administration in the United States, president Donald Trump posted a short AI-generated video on Truth Social that showed him wearing a crown and operating a fighter jet named "King Trump". The jet was shown flying in the air before dumping liquid feces on a crowd of protesters gathered in a city, the video also played a song "Danger Zone" in the background created by singer Kenny Loggins.[13] The video depicted Trump as a pilot, the jet dumped a large pile of liquid feces on Democrat influencer Harry Sisson, who was shown getting covered in the brown liquid within seconds along with other people.[14] Sources described the liquid as a "brown sludge," "apparent human excrement," a "poop-like substance," or "something that appears to be feces".[15]
The duration of the video was 19 seconds, Trump was shown wearing an oxygen mask that did not fully cover his mouth and nose. He also wore a green military jumpsuit.[16][17] The video was posted on all of Trump's social media accounts, as well as on US government accounts.[18] The video was watermarked with the username "@xerias_x". The mentioned user was responsible for generating the video first, he posted it six hours prior to it getting posted by president Trump. First instance of the video was posted with the caption: "President Trump makes a quick appearance at the No Kings Protest".[15] The account "@xerias_x" was found to be registered on Twitter, its profile picture showed Trump as Pepe the Frog.[16] The video was created using an unnamed right-wing AI-meme generator.[19]
Reactions
Journalists
Journalist Michelle Goldberg called Trump "a would-be monarch spraying the citizenry with excrement", she said the video reminded her of his "approach to governing".[20] USA Today op-ed said the video is "disgracing" the office of the president, it also called Trump "President Poop".[21] Los Angeles Times column said that the video degraded No Kings protesters and was "meant to embarrass and humiliate".[22] Journalist Joy Reid said Trump "literally believes that the American people are a pot to shit in" as she responded to the video.[3] 404 Media criticized mainstream media for failing to call the liquid coming from the jet as feces. It also criticized the video, calling it "fake and stupid" and "actively hostile to the people living in this country".[23] Journalist Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic described the video as "trolling" that has an "immature, graceless and appalling" message. He also condemned Republican and MAGA figures defending the video.[24]
Journalist Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business laughed while reacting to the video and said: "The dumping of the sewage just added a nice touch to the whole thing".[25] Historian and journalist Anne Applebaum said the video was made to "smear millions of Americans" and make Trump's followers not support the protesters because they are stained in poop.[26] Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat said the video was "an accurate representation" of what he "feels" about the people.[27] Time Magazine described the video as "not an isolated stunt" and said it "reflects a deliberate evolution in Trump's digital strategy".[28]
Others
Singer Kenny Loggins said the use of his song "Danger Zone" in the video was "unauthorized".[29] He said to NPR News that he does not want the song to be associated with the video because it was made with "the sole purpose of dividing us".[30] Actor Jeff Daniels also criticized Trump, saying: "The meme that Trump had where he was flying with the crown and spewing excrement all over the people down below, would Lincoln have done that?".[31] Comedian Stephen Colbert described the video as "vile and violent", he also said: "This video that he's posting might be upsetting to sensitive viewers who do not like watching the president of the United States carpet-pooping his own citizens".[32] TV host Sunny Hostin of The View described Trump as "unpresidential" for posting the video and compared it to Obama tan suit controversy.[33] Comedian Jon Stewart said the video "offended" him, he nicknamed it "diarrhea plane". He also described Trump as a "very satirical" president, adding: "What is the satire? I'm just curious. Oh, it's diarrhea from a plane. I get it now. A good one, sir".[34]
Forbes magazine emailed the White House press office asking them for comment on the video. The office responded by showing an image of two actors, Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards, with the caption, "I feel the need for speed".[35] Variety Magazine received a similar response when it asked the White House to comment on the situation.[36]
On October 24, 2025, YouGov conducted a poll of the American public asking them what they think about the video. 70% of the participants said they "disapprove" or "strongly disapprove" the video, 19% approved the video.[37] Reportedly, the poll was active from October 20 to October 22 and asked 1091 citizens, 44% of whom were previously unaware of the video's existence.[38]
Harry Sisson and politicians
Shortly after the video was posted, Harry Sisson posted a comment on Twitter which said: "Can a reporter please ask Trump why he posted an AI video of himself dropping poop on me from a fighter jet?". He also posted a reaction video where he said that the video is a sign of Trump and his supporters being "terrified" of the protests.[39] Vice president of the US JD Vance responded to Sissons' Twtter comment, saying: "I'll ask him for you Harry".[14]
House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries said that Trump posting this video was "deeply unserious, deeply unpresidential, and deeply un-American" act.[4] Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson defended Trump, saying the video was satirical and was posted to "make the point",[40] although he did not say what point Trump made.[41] Johnson's response was condemned by some figures, like Leah Greenberg, founder of Indivisible movement, who said: "His point was that he's an unaccountable, imperious would-be monarch who would like to dump poop on American cities". Politican Mike Nellis said: "Can someone ask Johnson what point Trump was making when he posted a video of himself dumping shit all over America?". Representative Sean Casten called Johnson a "coward" for not condemning Trump.[42] Representative Jared Moskowitz responded to Johnson's comments by tweeting an AI-generated video of feces falling on Johnson's head during a press conference.[43]
