US President Donald Trump faced criticism on Saturday after sharing an AI-generated music video on Truth Social that portrayed him as a globally adored figure, with the post appearing on the morning of the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. The video, published early on 6 June, featured an upbeat dance track repeatedly declaring that people around the 'world love Donald Trump' while accompanying surreal artificial intelligence-created imagery.
Trump has increasingly embraced AI-generated content across his social media accounts in recent months, often using the technology to promote political messages, mock opponents or present stylised depictions of himself. His latest post continued that trend but drew particular attention because it appeared on a day traditionally marked by tributes to Allied troops who took part in the D-Day landings during the Second World War.
