Majority Americans Disapprove Trump's AI Social Media Videos

A recent YouGov poll reveals that a majority of American voters disapprove of President Donald Trump's use of AI-generated videos on his social media platform, Truth Social, which often mock political opponents and protesters. One particularly controversial video showed Trump piloting a fighter jet and dropping sewage on protestors, with 70% of respondents expressing disapproval, including 96% of Democrats and 72% of Independents, while Republicans were more divided. The videos have been widely described by voters as "unpresidential," "disturbing," and "offensive," though some Republicans and allies defend the posts as satire. Additional AI-generated content shared by Trump depicted former President Barack Obama being arrested and a fictional Gaza Strip featuring a Trump hotel, which also received strong disapproval. These posts have drawn criticism from Democratic leaders who argue they exacerbate political tensions, while many Americans also express concerns about the broader use of AI for political messaging. Despite the backlash, Trump continues leveraging AI as a political tool to engage his base and influence public discourse amid his second term as president.
