Donald Trump has shared a new AI-generated video that’s leaving viewers baffled, with many calling it his cringiest post yet.
Donald Trump has once again used artificial intelligence for content, and this time the result is even more surreal than before.
Over the weekend, Trump shared a highly stylized AI-generated video of himself performing Journey’s classic anthem “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
The clip quickly lit up social media, not for patriotism, but for sheer confusion.
People are baffled as Trump has just shared his most bizarre AI post yet
The video opens with a simulated Trump sitting solemnly at a glistening, star-spangled piano, flanked by massive American flags waving in cinematic slow motion.
But what starts as a dramatic and patriotic setup quickly spirals into something wildly unexpected.
Within seconds, the digital Trump is transformed. He’s suddenly wearing a flamboyant red, white, and blue outfit, slinging an electric guitar and rocking out with the flair of a stadium headliner.
Behind him, an energetic line of cheerleaders bursts into choreography.
Just when viewers think it can’t escalate any further, the video cuts again, this time to Trump furiously playing a drum solo.
Though the clip features music, it notably refrains from attempting to replicate Trump’s voice.
The song itself plays in the background, avoiding the awkwardness of AI-generated vocals that often plunge into uncanny territory.
Social media users react to the AI video
The internet wasted no time reacting to the post, with responses ranging from amused to deeply puzzled.
One comment summed it up bluntly: The cringe has gone universal and forever.
Another user joked: At this point, someone just needs to take his phone away.
The third user said: He probably believes he can actually do this now. After all, there is video…
The fourth user added: Somewhere someone’s grandpa is going to think this is real and repost.
Another user added: What’s next? Him performing on the Eurovision stage 2026?
Someone wrote: He’s the best, he just trolls so well and the left just bites that hook so hard. Haha
This isn’t Trump’s first AI controversy.
Trump’s history with AI-generated content is already extensive.
Earlier, he shared an image portraying himself as the Pope, following false rumors about Pope Francis’ death, which was met with widespread backlash.
Though he later denied any involvement, the internet wasn’t convinced.
Another incident included a controversial AI video depicting a rebuilt Gaza, where a golden statue of Trump loomed at the center.
The video sparked outrage for its tone-deafness amid ongoing conflict in the region.
Even pop culture references haven’t been spared. A Star Wars-themed AI post, shared on May the Fourth, showed Trump wielding a red lightsaber.
The caption compared liberals to the Galactic Empire, despite red lightsabers traditionally being used by villains in the franchise.
Journey’s classic song already stirred controversy
Trump’s choice of “Don’t Stop Believin’” also carries political baggage.
Back in 2022, Journey’s keyboardist performed the song at Mar-a-Lago, prompting a cease-and-desist letter from a fellow band member.
He denounced the political use of their music, emphasizing that “Journey is not, and should not be, political.”
Given that context, Trump’s AI performance feels like déjà vu, with the added twist of high-tech absurdity.
