Trump Faces AI Accusations Over Charlie Kirk Assassination Video

President Donald Trump released a video statement addressing the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, praising Kirk as a patriot and martyr. However, the video quickly sparked widespread speculation on social media that it might have been artificially generated or edited using AI, due to noticeable glitches such as unnatural hand movements and disappearing fingers. While some users firmly believed the video was AI-generated, video experts suggested the glitches could be the result of a 'morph cut,' a video editing technique that stitches together separate clips seamlessly. Despite the controversy over the video's authenticity, Trump’s message condemned the killing and blamed the political left for fostering a hostile environment leading to Kirk's death. The video has been viewed tens of millions of times, drawing both support and skepticism from the public and commentators. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about the use of AI or advanced editing in political communications.
