President Donald Trump had a blunt, dismissive response to a viral video that purported to show someone repeatedly throwing garbage out a White House window, as he pointed out the video was likely AI-generated.
The video was posted by an anti-Trump account and looked like this:

“There is a video that is circulating online now of the White House where a window is open to the residence upstairs, and somebody is throwing a big bag out the window. Have you seen this?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked at a White House press conference on Tuesday.
“No, that’s probably AI-generated,” Trump answered. “Actually, you can’t open the windows. You know why? They’re all heavily armored and bulletproof.”
“So that’s a fake, a fake video?” Doocy queried.
“It’s got to be because I know every window up there,” Trump answered. The last place I’d be doing it is that because there’s cameras all over the place, right? Including yours. … In fact, my wife was complaining about it the other day. She said, ‘Love to have a little fresh air come in.’ But you can’t. They’re bulletproof. Number one, they’re sealed. And number two, each window weighs about 600 pounds. You have to be pretty strong to open them up.”
“It’s the kind of thing they do.” Trump continued. “And one of the problems we have with AI, it’s both good and bad. If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also, they create things, you know, it works both ways. If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI. But there’s truth to it because I see so many phony things. I saw something (AI-generated video) as I was growing up from the time I was a baby till now. I said, ‘Who did that?’ It was AI-generated. So, it’s a little bit scary to be honest with you.”
“But those windows are all very heavily sealed,” he concluded.
